💅 MATH2OOGL — ok bestie, let's talk 💅

So there's this lil manual page for math2oogl, part of the 1gv manual section, and I'm gonna spill all of it for you, no gatekeeping, fr fr. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

math2oogl — it converts a Mathematica grphics object into OOGL format. That's the whole vibe. 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

math2oogl
math2oogl -togeomview objectname geomview-path

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so, real talk: this manual page is a lil brief rundown of the math2oogl command. It's not trying to be a whole saga, it's giving quick-and-useful energy. ✨

Here's what it does: it takes Mathematica graphics objects that it reads in from standard input, and it converts them into OOGL format, which it writes out to standard output. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

And the conversions? They're very specific, so listen up:

  • A SurfaceGraphics object gets converted into an OOGL MESH. 🔥
  • A MeshGraphics object also gets converted into an OOGL MESH. Same energy, both slay.
  • A Graphics3D object gets converted into an OFF. 👑
  • A BezierPatch gets converted into a BEZuvn. 💅
⚠️ Now here's the part where you gotta pay attention, bestie, because this is a we expect situation: the graphics objects are expected to have already been processed the way OOGL.m does it. Meaning: they provide dimension and meshrange information, and for SurfaceGraphics objects they print out the colors before the points. Also, the characters "(){}, " get converted to a newline. So like, if your input didn't go through that whole glow-up first? It's not gonna work out. Sorry. 😭
