✨ VMTKENDPOINTSECTIONS(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, this is the vmtkendpointsections page and it's lowkey iconic 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

vmtkendpointsections — vmtk script vmtkendpointsections

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Automatic piping vmtkendpointsections Parsing options vmtkendpointsections, fr fr.

So like, here's the tea: vmtkendpointsections extracts the inlets and outlets of all branches. That's the whole vibe. That's the assignment and it ate. 🫶

🌸 Input arguments 🌸

These are the args you feed it on the way in, no cap:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. every script's gotta have one, it's giving ✨identity✨
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. yes it's handing itself a mirror, main character energy honestly 🙈
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. set this if you want it to just… not 💀
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface. this is the whole point bestie, feed it your surface 🦋
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader. the chill file-based way in 📁
• -centerlines Centerlines (vtkPolyData,1) — the input centerline. note the singular, that's just how it is, don't come for me 😭
• -centerlinesfile CenterlinesInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Centerlines reader 📄
• -centerlineidsarray CenterlineIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CenterlineIds — the array name where the centerline ids live, periodt
• -groupidsarray GroupIdsArrayName (str,1); default=GroupIds — the array name for the group ids, as one does 💅
• -ofile IoletSectionsOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default IoletSections writer. the file-based way out 📤

🌈 Output arguments 🌈

And these are what it hands back to you:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. yep, same one, it appears in both lists, that's not a typo, that's just the blueprint 🧚
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. encore performance, obsessed 💜
• -o IoletSections (vtkPolyData,1) — the iolet sections. this is the prize, the actual output, slay 👑
• -centerlineidsarray CenterlineIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CenterlineIds — again! same name, same default, it's showing up on both sides of the pipeline like a true legend ⭐
• -groupidsarray GroupIdsArrayName (str,1); default=GroupIds — and the group ids array name, round two, iconic behavior 🔥

---

no cap, the defaults are literally right there in the list — if you don't pass -id it's 0, if you don't pass -centerlineidsarray it's CenterlineIds, if you don't pass -groupidsarray it's GroupIds. don't overthink it 🍓

---

that's the whole page bestie, you got this 💖✨
