VMTKMESHCUTTER(1)

💅 NAME

okay so bestie, let me introduce you to vmtkmeshcutter — it's a vmtk script, and yeah, its whole name is literally just vmtkmeshcutter. no notes. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Automatic piping vmtkmeshcutter Parsing options vmtkmeshcutter 🦋

and like, what does it actually DO? here it is, no cap:

vmtkmeshcutter : slicing a mesh with a plane 🔥

🎀 Input arguments:

okay so these are the things you feed it going in, bestie. the format is like -name Something (type,id); default=whatever: what it does. iykyk.

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. it's giving "who am i" energy. 👑
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. it's holding its own hand fr fr 🫶
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disables execution and piping. so if you set this, it just… does not run. the main character chose rest. 💀
• -i Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh, aka the thing you're about to slice, babe 🔪✨
• -ifile MeshInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh reader. it reads the file so you don't have to 😌
• -display Display (bool,1); default=1 — toggle rendering. on by default, as it should be 💅
• -renderer vmtkRenderer (vmtkRenderer,1) — an external renderer. bring your own, iconic of you ✨
• -opacity Opacity (float,0.05) >= 0.0 and <= 1.0; default=0.05 — object opacity in the scene. lowkey see-through at 0.05, highkey ghost vibes 🌸
• -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface writer. where the sliced result goes to live 🏠

💖 Output arguments:

and these are what you get handed back at the end. the receipts. 🧾

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, again, showing up on the way out too 🎀
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, yes, again. consistent queen 👑
• -o Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface. this is the sliced-up glowup of your mesh ⭐

ngl bestie, watch those >= 0.0 and <= 1.0 bounds on -opacity — go outside them and it's not a vibe. 🚫

and that's the whole page, periodt. this was vmtkmeshcutter version 1.5 from April 2026, mwah, slay, go slice something pretty 💅🌈🦋
