egg2flt.exeConverts files in the .egg format to the Open Flight format.For more information see Converting from other Formats.
egg2x.exeConverts files in the .egg format to the DirectX format. Especially useful because it holds bone, joint and animation data. For more information see Converting from other Formats.
flt-info.exeReads an OpenFlight file and prints out information about its contents. See executable for more information.
flt-trans.exeProduces esentially the same .flt file. Useful for postional and rotational transformations. See executable for more information.
flt2egg.exeConverts files in the OpenFlight format to the .egg format. For more information see Converting from other Formats.
genpycode.exeGenreates the Python wrappings necessary to inteface with the C++ libraries that are the backbone of Panda. Also generates the API Reference Manual in <Panda Directory>/pandac/docs. For more information see API Reference Materials
httpbackup.exeUsed to retreive a document from an HTTP server and save it on disk. See executable for more information.
image-info.exeReports the sizes of one or more images. See executable for more information.
image-resize.exeResizes an image. See executable for more information.
image-trans.exeProduces an identical picture. Can also be used for file format conversion. See executable for more information.
indexify,exeTakes image directories and creates HTML pages with thumbnails of these pictures. See executable for more information.
interrogate.exeParses C++ code and creates wrappers so that it can be called in a Scrtipting language. See executable for more information.
lwo-scan.exePrints the contents of a .lwo file. See executable for more information.
lwo2egg.exeConverts files in the LightWave 3D format to the .egg format. For more information see Converting from other Formats.

pdecrypt.exeDecompress a file compressed by pencrypt. See executable for more inforamtion.
pencrypt.exeRuns an encryption algorithm on the specified file. The original file can only be recovered by using pdecrypt. See executable for more information.
ppython.exeUsed to start Panda 3D. For more information see Starting Panda3D
pstats.exePanda's built in performance tool. For more information see Measuring Performance with PStats
pview.exeUsed to view models in the .egg or .bam format without having to create a Panda program. For more information see Previewing 3D Models in Pview.
