Primary LanguageC

meshgeometry

Mesh geometry tools. Several commands can be chained together, with the same operation appearing many times in the same command line. They are processed sequentially.

I/O commands Description
-iformat format_name Force input format (needs to precede imesh)
-oformat format_name Force output format (needs to precede omesh)
-i filename Input file (also accepts -imesh)
-o filename Output file (also accepts -omesh)
-odata filename Output data
Geometry measurement Description
-absgi Compute absolute gyrification index
-area Surface area
-checkOrientation Check that normals point outside
-centre Move the mesh's barycentre to the origin
-euler Print Euler characteristic
-foldLength Compute total fold length
-size Display mesh dimensions
-tris Display number of triangles
-verts Display number of vertices
-volume Compute mesh volume
-curv Compute curvature
-depth Compute sulcal depth
-areaMap Compute surface area per vertex
-icurv number_of_iterations Integrated curvature (warning: icurv changes the geometry of the mesh)
-isolatedVerts Count the number of isolated vertices in the mesh
Geometry modification Description
-add filename Add mesh at filename to the current mesh
-average n_meshes path1 path2 ... pathn Compute an average of n_meshes all of the same topology
-barycentricProjection reference_mesh Print barycentric coordinates for each vertex in reference_mesh
-fixFlip Detect flipped triangles and fix them
-fixSmall Detect triangles with an angle >160
-flip Flip normals degrees and fix them
-laplaceSmooth lambda number_of_iterations Laplace smoothing
-level level_value Adds new vertices (and triangles) to the edges that cross level_value in the vertex data (f.ex., mean curvature)
-normalise Place all vertices at distance 1 from the origin
-randverts number_of_vertices Generate homogeneously distributedrandom vertices over the mesh
-relax filename Relax current mesh to mesh at filename (both meshes have the same topology)
-resample smooth_mesh reference_mesh Resample the mesh to match the vertices and the topology of the argument mesh
-removeIsolatedVerts Removes isolated vertices in the mesh (if present)
-rotate x y z Rotate with angles x, y and z (in degrees)
-scale scale_value Multiply each vertex by 'scale'
-sortTriangles Sort the triangles in the mesh file along the x axis
-stereographic Stereographic projection
-subdivide Subdivide the mesh with one iteration of Kobbelt's sqrt(3) algorithm
-taubinSmooth lambda mu number_of_iterations Taubin Smoothing
-translate x y z Translate mesh by x, y, and z.
-lissencephalic Smooth valleys and hills, not the coast
-normal Mesh normal vectors
Data measurement Description
-countClusters value Count clusters in texture data
-max Maximum data value
-mean Mean data value
-min Minimum data value
Data modification Description
-addVal Add value data
-subVal Subtract value from data
-multVal Multiply data time value
-divVal Divide data by value
-clip min max Clip data values to the interval [min,max]\n\
-smoothData lambda number_of_iterations Laplace smoothing of data, lambda=0 -> no smoothing, lambda=1 -> each vertex value to neighbour's average
-threshold value 0:down/1:up Threshold texture data
Other Description
-drawSurface colourmap path draw surface in tiff format, colormap is 'grey' or 'rainbow'
-v Verbose mode
-h Help
