POL_RECIP(1)

POL_RECIP(1) 💅

okay so you're on the pol_recip page from the User Commands manual, and it's literally all about polar reciprocals (duals). Buckle up, bestie. 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

pol_recip — polar reciprocals (duals). That's the whole name section, and it ate. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pol_recip [options] [input_file]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Read a file in OFF format and make a polar reciprocal from the face planes. If input_file is not given, the program reads from standard input. No cap. 💖

🌸 Options 🌸

okay bestie, here is every single option, zero skips:

• -h, --help — this help message (run off_util -H help for general help). 💅
• --version — version information.
• -c <cent> — reciprocation centre (default: C).
  • X,Y,Z — centre with these coordinates
  • 0 — for origin
  • C — vertex centroid
  • M — mid-sphere (approximate)
  • R — circumcentre (avg)
  • e — edge balanced
  • E — edge balanced with inversion
  • v — vert/face balanced
  • V — vert/face balanced with inversion
  • a — v/f/e balanced
  • A — v/f/e balanced with inversion
• -C <init> — initial value for a centre calculation, in form 'X,Y,Z'; 0 for origin; C to use centroid (default); M to calculate approximate mid-sphere. 🫶
• -r <rad> — reciprocation radius (default: calculated).
  • a radius value — use this value as the radius
  • v — nearest vertex distance
  • V — furthest vertex distance
  • e — nearest edge distance
  • E — furthest edge distance
  • f — nearest face distance
  • F — furthest face distance
  • or a comma separated list of vertex indices (starting from 0) and the distance is to the space containing those vertices. ✨
• -R <rad> — initial value for a radius calculation (default: calculated).
• -i — transform dual by reflecting in centre point.
• -I <dist> — maximum distance to project any normal or infinite dual vertex (default: 1e+15); if 0 then use actual distances and delete infinite points. 🔥
• -x — exclude extra elements added to duals with ideal vertices.
• -n <itrs> — maximum number of iterations (default: 10000).
• -l <lim> — minimum distance change to terminate, as negative exponent (default: 12 giving 1e-12).
• -a — append dual to original polyhedron.
• -o <file> — write output to file (default: write to standard output).
