💖 mia-3dvfcompare — the bestie guide to comparing two vector fields 💖

okay so picture this: you've got two vector fields and you NEED to know if they're the same. that's literally what mia-3dvfcompare is for bestie. it lives in the General Commands Manual on your system, and it is so much cooler than it sounds.

✨ NAME ✨

mia-3dvfcompare — Compare two Vectorfields. yes that's it. that's the job. 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mia-3dvfcompare -1 <in-file-1> -2 <in-file-2> [options]

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

mia-3dvfcompare compares two vector fields and prints out the difference norm per pixel to cout if it is larger than delta.

like, per pixel. individually. it's giving meticulous. it's giving detail-oriented icon. 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -1, --in-file-1=(input, required); io — input vector field 1. for supported file types see PLUGINS:3dvf/io.
• -2, --in-file-2=(input, required); io — input vector field 2. for supported file types see PLUGINS:3dvf/io.
• -d, --delta=0 — Maximum difference between vector to be ignored. so anything at or under this is like, "not my business, carry on" 💀

🌸 Help & Info 🌸

• -V, --verbose=warning — verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. like a vibe filter for your terminal. 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 — Maxiumum 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). yes "Maxiumum" is spelled like that in the original, do not @ me, we keep it exactly 🔥

  • 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

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

Compare vector fields vf1.v and vf2.v and print out all differences above 0.01.

mia-3dvfcompare -1 vf1.v -2 vf2.v -d 0.01

that's it. that's the whole move. run it, get the receipts. 💜
