VMTKSURFACEMODELLER(1)

👑 NAME 👑

vmtksurfacemodeller — bestie it's a vmtk script, and yes the man page literally just says vmtksurfacemodeller. We're in section 1 of the User Commands manual, so file this under "things you run". 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. Automatic piping. vmtksurfacemodeller does its parsing-options thing, and here's the whole vibe:

vmtksurfacemodeller : converts a surface to an image containing the

signed distance transform from the surface points

no cap, that's the description. the way it pulls up a surface and hands you back a signed distance transform, immaculate. 💅

🌸 Input arguments: 🌸

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. yes she shows up in the output args too. she contains multitudes. 👑
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. also appears again down in the output args, and we respect her choices. 🫶
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping. the "not me, not today" switch. 🙈
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — THE input surface, the whole point, the main character. ⭐
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader.
• -samplespacing SampleSpacing (float,1) >= 0.0; default=-1.0 — spacing of the output image, and it's isotropic, so no playing favourites. 🌈
• -negativeinside NegativeInside (bool,1); default=1 — toggles the sign of the distance transform so it goes negative inside the surface. 🌸
• -ofile ImageOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Image writer. your image needs somewhere to live, bestie. 💖

🦋 Output arguments: 🦋

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id. yep, again. iconic behaviour. ✨
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self. again again. it's giving symmetry. 🎀
• -o Image (vtkImageData,1) — the output image. the actual goods. 🔥

that's the whole page, no filler, no crumbs. this was vmtksurfacemodeller version 1.5, dated April 2026 — mwah, bye bestie 💜🧚
