💅 mia-3dimageselect — bestie edition 💅

okay so picture this: it's a page from the General Commands Manual (section 1, the user commands one, you know the vibe), and it's all about picking ONE image out of a whole multi-image file. That's it. That's the whole job. She's a specialist, she's focused, she's iconic for it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mia-3dimageselect — select one image from multi-image file. no cap, that's literally her whole personality. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mia-3dimageselect -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So mia-3dimageselect is the program you use to select one 3D image out of a multi-image file. That's it. You point it at a file that's holding a bunch of images, you tell it which one you want, and it hands you back that one. Main character energy, honestly. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -i, --in-file=(input, required); io — the input images. For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io 🫶
• -o, --out-file=(output, required); io — the output image. For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dimage/io 🫶
• -n, --number=0 — image number to be selected. the one you want. the chosen one. 💫

🧚 Help & Info 🧚

• -V, --verbose=warning — verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:
  • trace — Function call trace
  • debug — Debug output
  • info — Low level messages
  • message — Normal messages
  • warning — Warnings
  • fail — Report test failures
  • error — Report errors
  • fatal — Report only fatal errors
• --copyright — print copyright information
• -h, --help — print this help
• -?, --usage — print a short help
• --version — print the version number and exit

🔥 Processing 🔥

• --threads=-1 — Maximum number of threads to use for processing. This number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation).

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Store the third image in multiimage.v to image.v (note: counting starts with zero).

mia-3dimageselect -i multiimage.v -o image.v -n 2

⚠️ not me stressing this enough: counting starts with zero. so -n 2 is the THIRD image. the way that trips people up every single time 😭
