👑 VMTKSURFACECAPPER 👑

okay bestie so this is a User Commands situation, it's the manual for vmtksurfacecapper — a vmtk script, and honestly? she's iconic. ✨

---

💖 NAME 💖

vmtksurfacecapper — literally just a vmtk script called vmtksurfacecapper, no cap.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Automatic piping. vmtksurfacecapper is out here parsing options, and vmtksurfacecapper is the moment. periodt.

vmtksurfacecapper : add caps to the holes of a surface, assigning an id to each cap for easy specification of boundary conditions. 🫶

---

✨ input arguments ✨ (yes she gets her own section)

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — your script id, bestie.
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. main character energy fr.
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. like, going ghost mode.
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface. the whole vibe she's working with.
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader.
• -method Method (str,1) in ['simple', 'centerpoint', 'smooth', 'annular', 'concaveannular']; default=simple — the capping method. five options, five aesthetics, pick your fighter 💅
• -triangle TriangleOutput (bool,1); default=1 — toggle triangulation of the output.
• -entityidsarray CellEntityIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CellEntityIds — name of the array where the id of the caps have to be stored.
• -entityidoffset CellEntityIdOffset (int,1) >= 0; default=1 — offset for entity ids.
• -constraint ConstraintFactor (float,1); default=1.0 — amount of influence of the shape of the surface near the boundary on the shape of the cap ("smooth" method only).
• -rings NumberOfRings (int,1) >= 0; default=8 — number of rings composing the cap ("smooth" method only).
• -interactive Interactive (bool,1); default=1 — no description in the original, she just is. 🦋
• -renderer vmtkRenderer (vmtkRenderer,1) — external renderer.
• -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface writer.

🎀 output arguments 🎀 (she ALSO gets her own section)

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, again. screaming, crying, but make it symmetrical.
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. yes she's here too. 😭
• -o Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface. the glow-up. 🔥
• -entityidsarray CellEntityIdsArrayName (str,1); default=CellEntityIds — name of the array where the id of the caps are stored (notice: are stored now, not have to be stored — the glow-up is real).

---

💀 real talk: -id, -handle and -entityidsarray each show up in BOTH the input and the output lists. that's not a typo, that's just the lore. don't come for me.

💜 the sign-off 💜

that's the whole page bestie — no more, no less, every single flag accounted for, not one skipped, because we don't do that here. 🌈
