SAVI(1)

💖 SAVI(1) 💖

okay bestie, we're doing the SaVi page today — yes the manual is literally called SAVI(1), from the User Commands corner of the universe, and the whole vibe is satellite constellation visualisation. that's it, that's the girl. 🛰️✨

✨ NAME ✨

SaVi — satellite constellation visualisation 🦋

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, SaVi has a bunch of command-line options you can pass it, and here's the whole roster when you're running it standalone:

savi [-large-map] [-levels <n>] [-debug] [-fake-geomview] [-redrawn-menus]

     [-map-view-height <no. of pixels>] [-map-view-middle <longitude>]
     [-orbit-model <J0|J2>]     [filename]

that's the standalone era 💅 — and yes, [filename] is there at the end, it's giving optional, it's giving "bring your own file if you want".

but wait, there's MORE flags, because of course there are. these ones show up when SaVi is run from Geomview:

savi [-geomview] [-dynamic-texture-with-map] [-dynamic-texture-to-file]

     [-gzip-compressed-textures] [-uncompressed] [-no-logo]
     [-sun-lighting]

• -large-map — big map energy 🗺️
• -levels <n> — takes a number, n, bestie
• -debug — debug mode, for when we need to see what's going on 🔍
• -fake-geomview — fake Geomview, iconic honestly
• -redrawn-menus — redrawn menus ✨
• -map-view-height <no. of pixels> — map view height, in no. of pixels
• -map-view-middle <longitude> — map view middle, at a given longitude
• -orbit-model <J0|J2> — orbit model, either J0 or J2, no in-between 🌈
• [filename] — optional filename, slay

and the Geomview-era crew:

• -geomview — Geomview mode 🫶
• -dynamic-texture-with-map — dynamic texture with map
• -dynamic-texture-to-file — dynamic texture to file
• -gzip-compressed-textures — gzip-compressed textures
• -uncompressed — uncompressed, the opposite vibe
• -no-logo — no logo, minimal queen 👑
• -sun-lighting — sun lighting ☀️

also, some little quality-of-life commands you should know about, fr fr:

• savi -help — shows this help information at the command line 💬
• savi -version — provides version information at the command line 📋
• savi -splash — shows copyright and version information in a window 🪟
