# mia-3dvectorfieldcreate(1)

3D vector field creation.

## NAME

mia-3dvectorfieldcreate - 3D vector field creation.

## SYNOPSIS

**mia-3dvectorfieldcreate -o \<out-file\> \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**mia-3dvectorfieldcreate** This program is used to create a file containing a 3D vector field.

## OPTIONS

- \-o --out-file=(required, output); io

  output file for the vector field\
    For supported file types see PLUGINS:3dvf/io

- \-s --size=\[64,64,64\]

  size of the vector field

- \-y --ftype=0

  vector field type

- \-f --fun=1

  just some parameter to vary the field ;-)

### Help & Info

- \-V --verbose=warning

  verbosity of output, print messages of given level and higher priorities. Supported priorities starting at lowest level are:

  *trace* ‐ Function call trace

  *debug* ‐ Debug output

  *info* ‐ Low level messages

  *message* ‐ Normal messages

  *warning* ‐ Warnings

  *fail* ‐ Report test failures

  *error* ‐ Report errors
