VMTKNUMPYTOCENTERLINES(1)

💅 NAME 💅

vmtknumpytocenterlines — bestie, it's a vmtk script. Like, the script is literally called vmtknumpytocenterlines. That's the whole name, no notes. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so picture this: it does Automatic piping for vmtkNumpyToCenterlines, and it's also out here Parsing options for vmtkNumpyToCenterlines. Two jobs, one icon. 💖

🦋 vmtkNumpyToCenterlines 🦋

So here's the vibe: it takes a nested python dictionary that's holding numpy arrays which specify

• vertex points 🫶
• associated scalar data ✨
• and cell data that specifies line connectivity 🔥

…and then it hands you back a VTK centerlines vtkPolyData file. That's it, that's the glow-up. 🌈

🌸 Input arguments 🌸

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, it's giving ✨identity✨
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self, main character energy fr fr
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disables execution and piping. like, it's on do-not-disturb mode 💀
• -i ArrayDict (dict,1) — the input array dictionary, the whole point tbh 💅
• -ifile ArrayDictInputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default ArrayDict reader 📖
• -ofile CenterlinesOutputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Centerlines writer ✍️

💜 Output arguments 💜

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — yep, the script id again. bestie said "you get an id, and you get an id" 🎀
• -handle Self (self,1) — and again, a handle to self. consistent queen 👑
• -o Centerlines (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface, your prize at the end of the rainbow ⭐

no cap: every single one of those options is real, and yes -id and -handle genuinely show up in both the input list and the output list. that's not a typo, that's just how she lives. 🙈

vmtk crew, that's the whole page. mwah. 💋
