💖 VMTKSURFMESH 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is vmtksurfmesh — a vmtk script, one of the User Commands, and she is iconic. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

vmtksurfmesh — literally just the vmtk script known as vmtksurfmesh. that's the whole name, no notes. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Automatic piping vmtksurfmesh. Parsing options vmtksurfmesh. yes, she pipes herself automatically and parses her own options, she's that girl. 💅

vmtksurfmesh is a wrapper around the surfmesh surface mesh generator, and that generator is by:

give him his flowers, fr fr. 🌸

🌈 Input arguments 🌈

okay so these are the things you feed her, the input side of the group chat:

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id. that's it, that's the vibe. 💖
  • -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self. she's holding her own hand, main character energy. 👑
  • -disabled Disabled (bool,1); default=0 — disables execution and piping. flip this and she's not doing anything, she's on do-not-disturb. 💀
  • -i Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the input surface. this is the actual thing you're meshing, bestie. 🦋
  • -ifile SurfaceInputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Surface reader. so she knows where to go get it. 🍓
  • -nodespacing NodeSpacing (float,1) >= 0.0; default=1.0 — the desired node spacing. tiny number = lots of little nodes, big number = chill spacing. no cap. ✨
  • -ofile SurfaceOutputFileName (str,1) — the filename for the default Surface writer. where the glow-up gets saved. 💾💖

🦋 Output arguments 🦋

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

  • -id Id (str,1); default=0 — the script id, yes again, she said what she said. 🙈
  • -handle Self (self,1) — a handle to self, also back for round two. 👑
  • -o Surface (vtkPolyData,1) — the output surface. your finished mesh, your masterpiece, your baby. 🌟
⚠️ heads up bestie: -nodespacing has to be >= 0.0, so don't be out here passing negative numbers, that's not cute. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie. periodt. 🎀

this was vmtksurfmesh version 1.5, dated April 2026, from the vmtk corner of the User Commands universe — love her, respect her, mesh responsibly. 💜✨🌸
