VMTKACTIVETUBES(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet vmtkactivetubes 💖 — it's a vmtk script. That's the whole name, that's the whole one-liner: vmtkactivetubes is the vmtk script called vmtkactivetubes 😌 we love a self-titled icon. This is a User Commands manual page, section 1, which is why the header up top is literally VMTKACTIVETUBES(1) on both sides. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Automatic piping, vmtkactivetubes. Parsing options, vmtkactivetubes. 💅

Here's the actual tea, bestie:

vmtkactivetubes : experimental method for generating centerlines from an image.

🚨 lowkey important: this method is experimental. It's not some battle-tested, been-around-forever pipeline tool. It's the experimental way to pull centerlines out of an image. Treat it accordingly, queen. 🫶

💖 Input arguments:

• -id Id (str,1) — default=0: the script id.
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. yes, self-referential. main character energy fr fr.
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1) — default=0: disables execution and piping. flip it on when you want it to sit there and do absolutely nothing, an icon of rest 💤
• -i Centerline (vtkPolyData,1) — the centerline, as vtkPolyData.
• -ifile CenterlineInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Centerline reader 📂
• -image Image (vtkImageData,1) — the image, as vtkImageData.
• -imagefile ImageInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image reader 📂
• -radiusarray RadiusArrayName (str,1) — default=MaximumInscribedSphereRadius
• -iterations NumberOfIterations (int,1) >= 0 — default=100
• -potentialweight PotentialWeight (float,1) >= 0.0 — default=1.0
• -stiffnessweight StiffnessWeight (float,1) >= 0.0 — default=1.0
• -convergence Convergence (float,1) >= 0.0 — default=1e-05
• -cfl CFLCoefficient (float,1) >= 0.0 — default=0.1
• -minradius MinimumRadius (float,1) >= 0.0 — default=0.0
• -warnings NegativeNormWarnings (bool,1) — default=False
• -angularevaluations NumberOfAngularEvaluations (int,1) >= 0 — default=16
• -ofile CenterlineOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Centerline writer 📝

🦋 Output arguments:

• -id Id (str,1) — default=0: the script id. yes, it shows up in the output list too. she contains multitudes ✨
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self.
• -o Centerline (vtkPolyData,1) — the centerline coming back out at you, as vtkPolyData 👑

and that's the whole vibe check bestie, go generate some centerlines 💜

signing off with the receipts: this page is vmtkactivetubes version 1.5, dated April 2026 🎀 slay, bye!! 💖✨🦋
