openscad: Render a file to PNG in a specific colorscheme.
$ openscad -o ${path-to-button-png} --colorscheme ${Sunset} ${path-to-button-scad}
try on your machine

This command is using the "openscad" program to generate a button image in PNG format. Let's break down the command:

  • "openscad" is the name of the program that is being run.
  • "-o ${path-to-button-png}" specifies the output file, where "${path-to-button-png}" is the actual path and name for the generated PNG file. You would need to replace "${path-to-button-png}" with the desired file path and name.
  • "--colorscheme ${Sunset}" is an optional parameter that sets the colorscheme for rendering. "${Sunset}" likely refers to a predefined colorscheme called "Sunset." You can customize or use other available colorschemes.
  • "${path-to-button-scad}" specifies the input file, where "${path-to-button-scad}" is the actual path and name for the SCAD (OpenSCAD) file. You would need to replace "${path-to-button-scad}" with the actual file path and name.

So essentially, the command instructs the "openscad" program to use the specified SCAD file, apply the "Sunset" colorscheme if desired, and generate a PNG file with the given file path and name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
