💖 transform(1) 💖

okay so bestie, you found the transform page in the GNU Triangulated Surface utils manual, section 1, and honestly? she's a vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

transform — apply geometric transformations to the input. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

transform [OPTIONS] < file.gts

like... it reads a .gts file off stdin and hands you back a glow-up version of it. iconic behaviour fr fr ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

this manual page documents briefly the transform command. that's the whole tea, no cap — short and sweet, she's not gonna ramble at you 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

so this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-`). a summary of options is included below, and yes bestie, we're doing all of them, no skips 💖

• -r ANGLE, --rx=ANGLE — rotate around the x-axis (ANGLE in degrees). spin her around, she loves it 🌈
• -m ANGLE, --ry=ANGLE — rotate around the y-axis.
• -m ANGLE, --rz=ANGLE — rotate around the z-axis.
• -s FACTOR, --scale=FACTOR — scale by FACTOR. bigger, smaller, whatever, she ate 💅
• -R FACTOR, --sx=FACTOR — scale x-axis by FACTOR.
• -M FACTOR, --sy=FACTOR — scale y-axis by FACTOR.
• -N FACTOR, --sz=FACTOR — scale z-axis by FACTOR.
• -t V, --tx=V — translate of V along x-axis.
• -u V, --ty=V — translate of V along y-axis.
• -w V, --tz=V — translate of V along z-axis.
• -i, --revert — turn surface inside out. it's giving uno reverse card 😭
• -o, --normalize — fit the resulting surface in a cube of size 1 centered at the origin. so she's exactly the right size for the party 🧚
• -v, --verbose — print statistics about the surface. spill the stats bestie 📊
• -h, --help — display the help and exit. the classic escape hatch 🫶

not me noticing that --ry and --rz both use the short flag -m... that's literally what the page says though, so i'm passing it along character-for-character. iykyk 💀
