VMTKMESHLINEARIZE(1)

📦 version 1.5.0, in ubuntu stonking

💖 vmtkmeshlinearize(1) — the vibe check 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about vmtkmeshlinearize, a little vmtk script from the User Commands corner of your filesystem, and she is SO much simpler than she looks 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

vmtkmeshlinearize — literally the vmtk script called vmtkmeshlinearize, no notes 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

No cap, here's the whole situation: automatic piping for vmtkmeshlinearize, plus parsing options for vmtkmeshlinearize. That's the entire opening act, bestie, she keeps it brief ✨

And the actual job? Iconic, honestly:

vmtkmeshlinearize : convert the elements of a mesh to linear

That's it. That's the mission. Convert the elements of a mesh — to linear 👑 periodt.

🦋 Input arguments

These are the ones you feed her. She eats. 🍓

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, aka her little name tag so you know which script is which 💖
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. she's holding her own hand, main character energy, we love a self-aware queen 🎀
  • -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. flip this when you want her to sit this one out 🙈
  • -i Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh. this is the mesh you're handing over, bestie, she needs it 😭
  • -ifile MeshInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh reader. if you're not passing a mesh object, this is how you point her at the file 🌸
  • -cleanoutput CleanOutput (bool,1); default=1 — toggle cleaning the unused points. on by default, because nobody wants leftover clutter ✨
  • -ofile MeshOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh writer. this is where the glow-up gets saved 💾💜

🌈 Output arguments

And these are what she hands back to you. we love an exchange of energy 🫶

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, same name tag energy as before, it's giving symmetry 💅
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, again, still her, still iconic 👑
  • -o Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the output mesh!! the linearized girlie herself, freshly converted 🔥
lowkey important: both the input block and the output block list -id Id (str,1); default=0 and -handle Self (self,1) — no, you're not seeing double, that's just how the script presents herself, bestie 💀
