VMTKMESHVECTORFROMCOMPONENTS(1)

📦 version 1.5.0, in ubuntu stonking

👑 NAME

vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents — it's a vmtk script, bestie, and it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, so you already know it's giving main character energy 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So like. Okay. vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents does the automatic piping thing, obvi — it parses options, and then it just... does its little job. Automatic piping vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents Parsing options vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents — that's the whole vibe. That's what it's about. 🫶

Fr fr, here's the tea:

vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents : create a vector array from a number of scalar arrays treated as vector components 🌈

Like, you hand it a bunch of lil baby scalar arrays that are secretly the x, y, z of one bigger, hotter vector array, and it puts them together. Glow up. Periodt. 💅

💖 Input arguments 💖

These are the things you feed it. The way it eats. 🍓

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, it's literally just the id of the script, iconic
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, a lil selfie, a lil self-reference 🪞
  • -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — turns off execution and piping. Big "not today" energy
  • -i Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the input mesh, your mesh, the one you're obsessed with
  • -ifile MeshInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh reader, i.e. where the reader goes looking 🔍
  • -vector VectorArrayName (str,1); default=None — the name of the vector array
  • -components ComponentsArrayNames (str,-1); default=None — the names of the component arrays, plural, she's greedy, she takes many 😌
  • -removecomponents RemoveComponentArrays (bool,1); default=False — whether to yeet the component arrays once they've served their purpose
  • -ofile MeshOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Mesh writer, where the output goes to live its truth

🌸 Output arguments 🌸

These are what it hands back to you. A little gift. A lil treat. 🎀

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, yes again, she contains multitudes
  • -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, still holding her own hand 💅
  • -o Mesh (vtkUnstructuredGrid,1) — the output mesh!! the final girl!! the moment!! 🔥
🌟 heads up bestie: -id and -handle show up in both the input and the output list, and that's not a typo, that's just canon, so don't come for me about it

no cap, that's literally everything this page has to say, and I would never gatekeep a single flag from you 🫶 iykyk. this was vmtkmeshvectorfromcomponents, version 1.5, dated April 2026, from the User Commands manual — mwah, ily, go make some vectors 💖✨🦋
