#### 7.2.117 rib-display

`(rib-display [frame|tiff] FILEPREFIX)`
  Set Renderman display to framebuffer (popup screen window) or a TIFF format disk file. FILEPREFIX is used to construct names of the form `prefixNNNN.suffix`. (i.e. foo0000.rib) The number is incremented on every call to `rib-snapshot` and reset to 0000 when `rib-display` is called. TIFF files are given the same prefix and number as the RIB file (i.e. foo0004.rib generates foo0004.tiff). The default FILEPREFIX is `geom` and the default format is TIFF. (Note that geomview just generates a RIB file, which must then be rendered.)
