💖 gmk_m2, gmk_m3 — bestie edition 💖

okay so welcome to the Scotch user's manual, specifically the page for gmk_m2 (and its 3D sibling gmk_m3) 🎀 these two are literally the grid-making girlies and they're about to hand you a source graph file like it's nothing. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

gmk_m2, gmk_m3 — create 2D and 3D grid source graphs 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gmk_m2 [options] [-bbval] [-gcfile] [-t] [-y] dimX dimY [ofile]

gmk_m3 [options] [-bbval] [-gcfile] [-t] [-y] dimX dimY dimZ [ofile]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So the gmk_* programs create source graph files for some common, regular topologies. that's the whole vibe. regular, predictable, iconic. 👑

gmk_m2 creates a 2D regular grid graph of dimX times dimY vertices, such that vertex (i,j) is connected to vertices (i,j-1), (i-1,j), (i+1,j) and (i,j+1), if they exist. okay so like, basic 4-neighbor behavior, she's giving grid, she's giving structure. 💖

and if the -e option is set, it is additionally connected to vertices (i-1,j-1), (i+1,j-1), (i-1,j+1) and (i+1,j+1), if they exist. diagonal slay ✨ now that's 8 neighbors, that's main character energy, periodt.

gmk_m3 creates a 3D regular grid graph of dimX times dimY times dimZ vertices, such that vertex (i,j,k) is connected to vertices (i,j,k-1), (i,j-1,k), (i-1,j,k), (i+1,j,k), (i,j+1,k) and (i,j,k+1), if they exist. three dimensions?? she's deep, she's layered, she's literally 3D. 🧚

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -bbval — Set the base value of the graph to bval. Default base value is 0. so if you want your numbering to start somewhere else, here's your moment 💫
  • -e — Build a 8-neighbor grid rather than a 4-neighbor one (for gmk_m2 only). yes she's exclusive, yes it's only for gmk_m2, don't @ her about gmk_m3 🎀
  • -gcfile — Output graph vertex coordinates (that is, geometry data to be used by gout) in file cfile. like, the actual positions of everything, saved to a file, ready for gout to eat up 🔥
  • -h — Display some help. bestie needs assistance? she's got you 🫶
  • -t — Builds a torus rather than a grid. no edges, no boundaries, she just wraps around forever, it's giving infinity 💀
  • -V — Display program version and copyright. the receipts, the lore, the credentials ✨
  • -y — Invert y coordinate in geometry. y is flipped, y is not like the other girls 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Create a 2D graph of 5x7 vertices, of base 1, along with its geometry:

$ gmk_m2 5 7 -b1 -g/tmp/m5x7.xyz /tmp/m5x7.grf

look at her go. 5 by 7, base 1, geometry landing in /tmp/m5x7.xyz, graph landing in /tmp/m5x7.grf. ate and left no crumbs 👑
