.SH NAME
Sunflow \- a rendering system written in Java.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "sunflow [" options "] [" scenefile "]"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
Sunflow is a rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis. It is written in Java and built around a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design.
.TP
If a scene file is specified, this is rendered in a simple GUI. You may want to use the -o option described below.
