mia-3dvectorfieldcreate 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the mia-3dvectorfieldcreate era — a member of the mia family of general commands. it makes 3D vector fields. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

mia-3dvectorfieldcreate — 3D vector field creation.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mia-3dvectorfieldcreate -o <out-file> [options]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this program creates a file that contains a 3D vector field. that's it, that's the job. you point it at an output file, you tell it how big and what flavor, and it manifests a whole vector field into existence. main character energy fr fr ✨

---

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -o, --out-file=(output, required) — the output file for the vector field. yes it's required, bestie, you can't just not name it. also, its type tag is io. For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dvf/io — that whole section is down below, don't you dare skip it 💜
• -s, --size=[64,64,64] — the size of the vector field. default is [64,64,64] in case you were wondering 👑
• -y, --ftype=0 — the vector field type. default 0.
• -f, --fun=1 — literally just some parameter to vary the field ;-) (the original page says it with a winky face, i'm not going to strip the winky face, that's history). default 1.

🫶 Help & Info 🫶

• -V, --verbose=warning — how chatty the output is. it prints messages of the given level and higher priorities. the supported priorities, starting at the 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 — the 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 means automatic estimation, and that's the default, so honestly just leave it alone unless you know things 💀)

🧚 PLUGINS: 3dvf/io 🧚

the roster of io plugins, aka who's allowed to read and write your vector fields:

• cvista — obsolete 3d vector field io plugin for range compressend vista. (saving is not supported, so read-only vibes only ✋)
  • Recognized file extensions: .CVF, .cvf
  • Supported element types:
    • floating point 32 bit
• datapool — virtual IO to and from the internal data pool.
  • Recognized file extensions: .@
• vista — a 3d vector field io plugin for vista.
  • Recognized file extensions: .V, .VF, .v, .vf
  • Supported element types:
    • floating point 32 bit
• vtk — 3D Vector field in- and output (experimental). No attributes are stored or read.
  • Recognized file extensions: .VTK, .VTKVF, .vtk, .vtkvf
  • Supported element types:
    • floating point 32 bit

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

create a field of type 2 with fun 3.0 and size 128x128x128. here's the exact line, copy it character for character, no cap:

mia-3dvectorfieldcreate -o field.v -s '<128,128,128>' -t 2 -f 3.0
