camitk-cepgenerator is a developer tool for CamiTK, the Computer Assisted Medical Intervention Tool Kit. it's giving "medical imaging meets build systems", and honestly? iconic. 👑

here's the main character move: camitk-cepgenerator creates a CamiTK Extension Project (CEP) skeleton from a description given in a XML file (valid CamiTK cepcoreschema language). you describe it, it manifests it. manifestation but make it C++. 🔥

and like, using this command line only, you can generate:

• a CEP directory tree 🌳
• the component and action extension C++ code corresponding to the content of the given XML file 💻

heads up bestie: to successfully run camitk-cepgenerator you need to provide two arguments — the CamiTK core XML document, and a directory where the C++ classes and CMake configuration files will be written. no XML, no directory, no skeleton. them's the rules. 😭

and who is this diva for? the targeted users are developers in R&D departments or laboratories. lab girlies and R&D girlies, this one's for you 🧪💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --help, -h — Print usage information and exit. the "what does this even do" button, but make it helpful 🌈
• --version, -v — Print CamiTK version message and exit. little flex, then bye ⭐
• --file, -f file — input CamiTK CEPCoreSchema XML document describing the extension to generate (needed). 🍓

This should be a valid CEPCoreSchema XML document. The input XML file is mandatory. like, mandatory mandatory.

• --directory, -d path — CamiTK Extension Project output directory (needed). 📁

This is the path to the directory where the CEP skeleton files will be generated. The output path is mandatory. don't forget it, I'm begging 🙈
