mia-viewitgui(1)

💖 mia-viewitgui — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is mia-viewitgui(1), a lil user-commands page, and it's literally just about looking at 3D stuff with your eyeballs. no cap. let's get into it ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

mia-viewitgui — visualization of 3D data. yes that's the whole name section, she's simple, she's iconic 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mia-viewitgui [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so mia-viewitgui is the program you run when you want to visualize 3D data sets and deformations. that's it, that's the vibe. you bring the 3D data, she brings the visuals. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -s, --src-mesh= — the mesh you wanna visualize. for which file types are actually supported, go peek at PLUGINS:mesh/io below, iykyk 🫶
• -v, --vectorfield= — a vector field that describes how the mesh is being deformed. supported file types live in PLUGINS:3dtransform/io, scroll down bestie 💜

🧚 Help & Info

• -V, --verbose=warning — controls how chatty the output is. it prints messages at the level you give it and higher priorities too. the supported priorities, starting at the lowest level, are:
  1. info — low level messages
  2. trace — function call trace
  3. fail — report test failures
  4. warning — warnings
  5. error — report errors
  6. debug — debug output
  7. message — normal messages
  8. fatal — report only fatal errors
• --copyright — prints the copyright info 📜
• -h, --help — prints this help
• -?, --usage — prints a short help
• --version — prints the version number and then exits, periodt 🚪

🔥 Processing

• --threads=-1 — the maxiumum number of threads to use for processing (yes, that typo is canon, we don't fix canon 💀). this number should be lower than or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. and -1 means automatic estimation, so she figures it out herself, queen behavior 👑

🌈 PLUGINS: 3dtransform/io 🌈

this is the lil roster of formats for 3D transformations, bestie:

• bbs — binary (non-portable) serialized IO of 3D transformations.
  • recognized file extensions: .bbs
• datapool — virtual IO to and from the internal data pool.
  • recognized file extensions: .@
• vista — Vista storage of 3D transformations.
  • recognized file extensions: .v, .v3dt
• xml — XML serialized IO of 3D transformations.
  • recognized file extensions: .x3dt

💖 PLUGINS: mesh/io 💖

and here's the mesh format lineup, she's giving range:

• datapool — virtual IO to and from the internal data pool.
  • recognized file extensions: .@
• off — plugin to load/store some Geomview OFF Files.
  • recognized file extensions: .OFF, .off
• ply — Ply triangle mesh input/output support.
  • recognized file extensions: .PLY, .ply
• stl — STL mesh io plugin.
  • recognized file extensions: .STL, .stl
• vista — Vista/Simbio triangle mesh input/output support.
  • recognized file extensions: .V, .VMESH, .v, .vmesh
• vtk — a subset of VTK mesh in-and output: triangle meshes are written, and triangle meshes and triangle strips are read. additional per-vertex attributes are supported: 'normals', 'colors' for three component colors, and 'scale' for a scalar value attached to each vertex. the data is written by the vtkPolyDataWriter in binary format.
  • recognized file extensions: .VTK, .VTKMESH, .vtk, .vtkmesh
