VMTKMESHMERGE(1)

💖 vmtkmeshmerge 💖

okay bestie, so vmtkmeshmerge is a vmtk script, and we're gonna talk about it. it's one of those little pipeline gremlins that just does its job and looks cute doing it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

vmtkmeshmerge — vmtk script vmtkmeshmerge

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like. automatic piping. vmtkmeshmerge. parsing options. vmtkmeshmerge. that's the whole vibe summary fr fr. 💅

vmtkmeshmerge : Merge two or three meshes into one.

yes bestie you read that right — it merges meshes. two of them. or three of them. and then they're ONE. it's giving found family. it's giving "we're stronger together". 🦋

🫶 Input arguments 🫶

every single knob you can turn when you're feeding this icon its data:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping
• -entityidsarray CellEntityIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CellEntityIds — name of the array where entity ids have been stored
• -mesh1 Mesh1 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 1 to merge
• -mesh1file Mesh1InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh1 reader
• -mesh2 Mesh2 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 2 to merge
• -mesh2file Mesh2InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh2 reader
• -mesh3 Mesh3 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 3 to merge
• -mesh3file Mesh3InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh3 reader
• -mesh4 Mesh4 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 4 to merge
• -mesh4file Mesh4InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh4 reader
• -mesh5 Mesh5 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 5 to merge
• -mesh5file Mesh5InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh5 reader
• -mesh6 Mesh6 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 6 to merge
• -mesh6file Mesh6InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh6 reader
• -mesh7 Mesh7 (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — mesh number 7 to merge
• -mesh7file Mesh7InputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh7 reader
• -cellentityidoffset1 CellEntityIdOffset1 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh1
• -cellentityidoffset2 CellEntityIdOffset2 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh2
• -cellentityidoffset3 CellEntityIdOffset3 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh3
• -cellentityidoffset4 CellEntityIdOffset4 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh4
• -cellentityidoffset5 CellEntityIdOffset5 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh5
• -cellentityidoffset6 CellEntityIdOffset6 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh6
• -cellentityidoffset7 CellEntityIdOffset7 (int,1); default=None — offset added to cell entity ids from mesh7
• -ofile MeshOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh writer

ok quick note bestie: yeah there's a -mesh4 through -mesh7 and offsets up to -cellentityidoffset7. the summary up top says two or three meshes, and these are the arguments that exist. i'm not making the rules, i'm just reading them to you. 💀

👑 Output arguments 👑

what it hands back to you when it's done being iconic:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self
• -o Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the output mesh
• -entityidsarray CellEntityIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CellEntityIds — name of the array where entity ids have been stored

and that's the whole page, bestie. no cap. slay 🧚
