VMTKCENTERLINEVIEWER(1)

💖 VMTKCENTERLINEVIEWER 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to VMTKCENTERLINEVIEWER(1) — yes that's the manual name, we're being ✨formal✨ today. This is the vmtkcenterlineviewer page, vmtk script edition. Sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmtkcenterlineviewer — it's a vmtk script, and it's literally called vmtkcenterlineviewer. That's the whole name section. Iconic of it honestly. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Automatic piping, vmtkcenterlineviewer, parsing options... yeah it does all that. The script is vmtkcenterlineviewer.

So what does vmtkcenterlineviewer actually do?? Say it with me:

vmtkcenterlineviewer : display a 3D centerline 🌈

That's the vibe. It shows you a 3D centerline. Gorgeous. No notes.

🎀 Input arguments 🎀

These are the ones you feed it, bestie. Get them right or it's giving nothing. 🙈

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. Just its little name tag.
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. Self-love, we stan. 👑
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disables execution and piping. Turn this on and the whole thing just... sits there. Doing nothing. Relatable. 💀
• -i Centerlines (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface.
• -ifile CenterlinesInputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Centerlines reader. Point it at a file, she reads it. 📖
• -pointarray PointDataArrayName (str,1) — the name of the point data array. No default given, so you supply it, bestie.
• -cellarray CellDataArrayName (str,1) — same energy but for cell data.
• -legend Legend (bool,1); default=1 — the legend. On by default, because we love context. 🫶
• -colormap ColorMap (str,1) in ['rainbow', 'blackbody', 'cooltowarm', 'grayscale']; default=cooltowarm — choose the color map!! Four options, pick your aesthetic. Default is cooltowarm. The rainbow one is in there, yes, and so is blackbody, cooltowarm, and grayscale.
• -numberofcolors NumberOfColors (int,1); default=256 — how many colors live in the color map. 256 of them, by default. That's a lot of colors! 🎨
• -renderer vmtkRenderer (vmtkRenderer,1) — an external renderer. If you've got one already, hand it over.
• -ofile CenterlinesOutputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Centerlines writer. Where the output goes. ✨

---

💜 Output arguments 💜

What it hands back to you when it's done slaying. 🦋

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id again. Yeah, it's in both lists. It contains multitudes.
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self, also again. Consistency, periodt.
• -o Centerlines (vtkPolyData,1) — THE output centerlines. The whole point. The main character. 🌟

---

Not me writing a whole manpage and the script's entire personality being "display a 3D centerline." Lowkey that's all it needs to be. 😭

---

This was vmtkcenterlineviewer version 1.5, dated April 2026. Mwah. 🎀✨
