VEDO(1)
β¨ NAME β¨
okay bestie, gather round π β vedo is the whole vibe: Visualization, analysis and animation of 3D objects and point clouds in VTK files. (yes, it's the vedo command, manual section 1, and it's giving main character energy fr fr π)
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
vedo [-h] [-c] [-a] [-w] [-p] [-k] [-x] [-i] [-l] [-f] [-bg] [-z] [-q]
[-n] [-s] [-g] [-gz] [-gy] [--slicer] [files [files ...]]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so this manual page documents the vedo command, briefly. that's the assignment, that's the lore π
it was written for the Debian distribution bc the original program does not have a manual page β so we made one, you're welcome, slay π
and likeβ¦ what does vedo actually do? it's a program that plots and visualises VTK files. that's it, that's the whole thing, and honestly? iconic. β¨
