VMTKSURFACEPOLYBALLEVALUATION(1)

✨ NAME ✨

vmtksurfacepolyballevaluation — it's a vmtk script bestie, and it lives in section 1 of the User Commands manual 💖

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Automatic piping vmtksurfacepolyballevaluation Parsing options vmtksurfacepolyballevaluation

okay so here's the tea: vmtksurfacepolyballevaluation : evaluate the polyball function on the vertices of a surface. 🦋

🌸 Input arguments 🌸

these are the ones you feed in, the little snacks the script eats before it does its thing:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id 🆔
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self, like it's holding its own hand fr
• -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disable execution and piping (turn this on and it just… does not go 🙈)
• -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface, the main character of this whole operation
• -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface reader 📂
• -polyball PolyBall (vtkPolyData,1) — the input polyball
• -polyballfile PolyBallInputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default PolyBall reader 📂
• -type Type (str,1) in ['polyball', 'tubes']; default=polyball — type of evaluation: polyball (set of disjoint spheres) or tubes (set of continuous tubes, e.g. centerlines) 💅
• -radiusarray RadiusArrayName (str,1); default=None — name of the array where the radius of polyballs is stored
• -evaluationarray EvaluationArrayName (str,1); default=PolyBall — name of the array where the result of the polyball evaluation has to be stored ✨
• -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName (str,1) — filename for the default Surface writer 📝

💜 Output arguments 💜

and these are what it hands back to you when it's done slaying:

• -id Id (str,1); default=0 — script id 🆔
• -handle Self (self,1) — handle to self
• -o Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface 👑

and that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖 this was vmtksurfacepolyballevaluation version 1.5, dated April 2026 — go forth and evaluate those polyballs bestie, you ate 🫶🌸
