💖 ctsim — bestie's guide to the CT simulator 💖

okay so real talk, this is the ctsim manual page from the General Commands Manual section, and I'm about to make it make sense for you. it's giving "graphical tomography but make it a vibe". let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ctsim — A Graphical Computed Tomography Simulator

like. the name is literally the whole plot. a CT sim. but graphical. periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ctsim files-to-open... [OPTIONS]

so you hand it some files-to-open... (yes, plural, you can pile them on, she's flexible like that 🫶) and then you sprinkle on whatever [OPTIONS] you're feeling.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie listen. ctsim is a graphical user interface to the various components of the CTSim package. not a command line gremlin situation — we're talking graphics. windows. buttons. the whole aesthetic. 😭✨

and if you wanna go find her home online, the home for CTSim is:

http://www.ctsim.org

that's the link. that's the house. go say hi 🏠💜

💅 OPTIONS 💅

she doesn't have like, a million flags, she has two, and honestly? iconic minimalism. 👑

  • --version — Display version. that's it, that's the whole job. she tells you what version she is. main character energy fr fr ⭐
  • --help — Print a terse help message. terse is the key word here bestie, she is NOT gonna write you a novel, just the quick lil rundown. no cap. 🍓

👑 AUTHORS 👑

Kevin Rosenberg, M.D. <kevin@ctsim.org>

a whole doctor wrote this. MD. we love a multi-talented king. 🩺💖

🌈 HISTORY 🌈

okay this part is genuinely wild so sit down for a sec.

CTSim was begun in 1983 — yes, NINETEEN EIGHTY-THREE — using MS-DOS and an EGA display adapter. like. that's ancient. that's older than most of us. that's giving fossil but make it computer 💀

then in 1999 it was ported to GNU/Linux, and later it got ported to Microsoft Windows. so she's been through THREE whole eras. a survivor. a legend. a time traveler. 🕰️✨
