VMTKSURFACEPO...ATATOCELLDATA(1)

✨ NAME ✨

vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata — it's a vmtk script, bestie. That's the whole name section, and yes, the name is vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata twice over, because that's how these pages roll. 💖

This one lives in section 1 of the manual, aka User Commands — the command-line besties, not the syscall girlies. Periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so first things first, here's the raw energy the tool throws at you when it boots up — the automatic piping and the parsing-options banner, exactly as it prints, no edits from me:

Automatic piping vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata Parsing options
vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata

Yes girl, it says its own name twice. It's that kind of confident. 👑

And what does vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata actually do, you ask? Say it with me:

vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata : convert point data arrays to cell data surface arrays.

That's the whole vibe. Point data in, cell data out, surface arrays converted. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 🦋

🎀 Input arguments 🎀

These are the flags that feed the beast, babe:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. Every script's got one, and this one defaults to 0. 💅
• -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. Yes, self-referential, we love a main character. 🪞
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — set this and it straight-up does not run, and the piping stops too. Default is 0, so by default it is enabled and is piping. 👀
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface. That's the thing you're here to convert. 🫶
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader. Hand it a path instead of an object and the reader handles the rest. ✨
• -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface writer. Where the converted glow-up gets saved. 💾

🧚 Output arguments 🧚

And here's what it hands back to you when it's done serving:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id, again. Same energy as above, still defaulting to 0. 😌
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, again. The self-handle stays booked and busy in both lists. 💜
• -o Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface. Your converted result. Slay. 🔥

Quick note fr fr: -id and -handle show up in both the input arguments and the output arguments. That's not you misreading it, that's the page. I'm not merging them, I'm not guessing why — I'm just reporting the facts, no cap. 🫡

And that's the whole page, bestie — no hidden extras, no secret flags hiding in the walls. Every option, every type, every default, every single word of that description is right here where you can see it. If you were hoping for a SEE ALSO, sorry babe, this one didn't bring friends. 🙈

This was vmtksurfacepointdatatocelldata version 1.5, dated April 2026, from the User Commands manual — that's the source, the version and the date, all wrapped up in a little bow. Go convert some point data into cell data, you absolute icon. 💖✨🎀
