17 rubikrotation is a Perl script for processing Rubik cube rotations
18 (3x3x3 and 2x2x2). It is part of the LaTeX rubikrotation package, and
19 is typically CALLed by rubikrotation.sty, in response to the RubikRota‐
20 tion{} command: see the package manual (rubikrotation.pdf) for details.
21 The rubikrotation package is part of the LaTeX Rubik `bundle'. The lat‐
22 est version can be downloaded from
23
24 CTAN: mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rubik/
25
26 rubikrotation reads Rubik state data and commands (sequence of rota‐
27 tions) from an input file, and writes the new state data to an output
28 file. The input and output filenames can be specified as command-line
29 arguments (see: command-line use).
30
31 If a configuration file exists (rubikrotation.cfg) then it will be
32 automatically be read by rubikrotation.sty.

36 rubikrotation [-h|--help|-v|--version] [-o <outfile>] -i <infile>
37
38 -h displays the help info and exits.
39
40 -v displays the version info and exits.
41
42 -i defines the input filename. The default input filename set by the
43 rubikrotation package is rubikstate.dat, and this is generated by the
44 LaTeX RubikRotation{} command (see the rubikrotation LaTeX package man‐
45 ual rubikrotation.pdf). Note that the rubikrotation perl script
46 expects the input file to have a certain structure, as described in
47 rubikrotation.pdf and rubikrotationPL.pdf).
48
49 -o defines the output filename. If no output filename is given then
50 the default filename rubikOUT.txt is used.
