VMTKCENTERLINESNETWORK(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is vmtkcenterlinesnetwork, aka the vmtk script vmtkcenterlinesnetwork. yes the name is a whole mouthful, we don't talk about it. it's literally a manual page for vmtkcenterlinesnetwork(1) from User Commands, and it's giving "automatic piping" energy from the very first line. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so. automatic piping</p> vmtkcenterlinesnetwork. that's the vibe. then it goes "Parsing options" and just says vmtkcenterlinesnetwork again like a girl who's stalling before the actual tea. 😭 we love her.

here's the real deal though, no cap:

vmtkcenterlinesnetwork : compute centerlines from a branching tubular surface automatically. that's it, that's the whole glow-up. 💅

🌸 Input arguments 🌸

these are the lil knobs you feed her going in. one bullet per flag, every one of them, because we do not skip:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. it's the script's little name tag 🏷️
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. yes she's holding her own hand, self-love is real 🌈
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — turn this on and you disable execution and piping. like ghosting the whole pipeline 👻
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface. this is the moment, the main character 📥
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader. feed her the file 🍓
• -renderer vmtkRenderer (vmtkRenderer,1) — external renderer. bring your own stage, queen 👑
• -ofile CenterlinesOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Centerlines writer. the receipts get written here 🧾
• -delaunaytessellationfile DelaunayTessellationOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default DelaunayTessellation writer. she's thorough, she writes everything ✍️
• -voronoidiagramfile VoronoiDiagramOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default VoronoiDiagram writer. same energy, different diagram 🦋

🎀 Output arguments 🎀

and these are what she hands back to you when she's done being iconic:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. yep, it's here too. both directions. consistent queen ⭐
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. still holding her own hand. we respect it 💜
• -o Centerlines (vtkPolyData,1) — the output centerlines!! the whole point of the whole thing, the moment we've all been waiting for 📤
• -radiusarray RadiusArrayName (str,1); default=MaximumInscribedSphereRadius — name of the array where radius values of maximal inscribed spheres are stored. big name, big responsibility 🔵
• -eikonalsolutionarray EikonalSolutionArrayName (str,1); default=EikonalSolution — that's the name, that's the default, that's the whole story 🌀
• -edgearray EdgeArrayName (str,1); default=EdgeArray — the array name for edges. short, sweet, self-explanatory 💫
• -edgepcoordarray EdgePCoordArrayName (str,1); default=EdgePCoordArray — the pcoord array name. say it five times fast, I dare you 🙈
• -costfunction CostFunction (str,1); default=1/R — cost function minimized during centerline computation. she's an optimizer, she's doing math, she's slaying 🔥
• -costfunctionarray CostFunctionArrayName (str,1); default=CostFunctionArray — where that cost function hangs out 💾
• -delaunaytessellation DelaunayTessellation (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the original page gives you the type and dips, no lil blurb, so that's exactly what I'm giving you too 🕳️
• -voronoi… ok no, it's -voronoidiagram VoronoiDiagram (vtkPolyData,1) — again, name and type only, no description in the source. I'm not gonna make one up, that would be lying and lying is not the vibe 🚫
• -poleids PoleIds (vtkIdList,1) — also just a type, no blurb. mysterious. lowkey iconic for that 🎭
• -randomseed RandomSeed (int,1); default=None — the seed gets to be None, she's unseeded, she's free 🎲
• -usejoblib UseJoblib (bool,1); default=True — joblib is on by default, bestie. multitasking queen 💪

heads up fr fr: a few of these output arguments (-delaunaytessellation, -voronoidiagram, -poleids) come with no description at all in the original page — just the type. so no invented lore over here, we keep it 100. ✨

and that's the page!! every flag, every type, every default, every single one, nothing dropped, nothing added that wasn't there. ate and left no crumbs. 🍽️✨
