💧 WATERMAN(1) 💧

ok okay so real talk — this is the manual page for waterman, one of the User Commands, and honestly? she's giving geometry icon. get comfy, bestie, we're building polyhedra ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

waterman — Waterman polyhedra 🫶 like, literally that's the whole vibe, it makes Waterman polyhedra.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

waterman [options] lattice

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so the way this works is sphere-ray intersection gets used to produce Waterman Polyhedra 🔥 and your lattice argument can be SC, FCC, or BCC — those are your three options, no cap, pick one 💅

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -h, --help — this help message 🥺 (and run off_util -H help for general help, iykyk)
  • --version — version information, the classic ⭐
  • -v — verbose output (on computational errors) — she gets chatty when things go wrong 😭
  • -l <lim> — minimum distance for unique vertex locations as negative exponent. default: 12 giving 1e-12 🌈
  • -o <file> — write output to file (default: write to standard output) 💖

🦋 Program Options 🦋

  • -r <r,n> — clip radius. r is radius taken to optional root n. n = 2 is sqrt 🧚
  • -q <cent> — center of lattice, three comma separated coordinates. 0 for origin (default: origin) 💫
  • -M <mthd> — 1 - sphere-ray intersection, 2 - z guess (default: 1) 👑
  • -f — fill interior points (not for -C c) 🙈 careful, she said not for -C c
  • -t — defeat computational error testing for sphere-ray method 💀

🌈 Scene Options 🌈

  • -C <opt> — c - convex hull only, i - keep interior, s - suppress (default: c)

🍓 Coloring Options 🍓

fr fr run off_util -H color for help on color formats 🎨

keyword: none - sets no color

  • -F <col> — color the faces according to: (default: n)
    • a color value - apply to all faces
    • n - color by number of sides
    • s - symmetric coloring [,sub_group,conj_type]
    • special coloring: calculates color from normals, not maps
    • y - color by symmetry using face normals
    • z - color by symmetry using face normals (chiral)
  • -E <col> — color the edges according to: (default: lightgray)
    • s - symmetric coloring [,sub_group,conj_type]
  • -V <col> — color the vertices according to: (default: gold) ✨ gold! iconic
    • a color value - apply to all vertices
    • s - symmetric coloring [,sub_group,conj_type]
  • -T <t,e> — transparency. from 0 (invisible) to 255 (opaque). element is any or all of, v - vertices, e - edges, f - faces, a - all (default: f)
  • -m <maps> — a comma separated list of color maps used to transform color indexes (default: colorful), a part consisting of letters from v, e, f, selects the element types to apply the map list to (default 'vef'). use map name of 'index' to output index numbers
    • colorful: red,darkorange1,yellow,darkgreen,cyan,blue,magenta,white,gray50,black 🌈🌈🌈
  • -Z <col> — fill vertex color (default: model vertex color) 💜

the full documentation for waterman is maintained as a Texinfo manual 📖 and if the info and waterman programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info waterman

should give you access to the complete manual 🫶 slay.

mwah okay that's the whole page, and just so u know where this came from: waterman: Antiprism 0.32 - http://w... — that's the source/version line, bestie, straight from the footer 💅💖
