The filters are given as extra parameters on the command line and are run in the order in which they are given. To obtain a list of available filters you may run\ 'mia-plugin-help mesh/filter' from the command line ## OPTIONS - \-i --in-file=(input, required); io input mesh to be filtered\ For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io - \-o --out-file=(required, output); io output mesh that have been filtered\ For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io ### 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 *fatal* ‐ Report only fatal errors - \--copyright print copyright information - \-h --help print this help - \-? --usage print a short help - \--version print the version number and exit ### Processing - \--threads=-1 Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation). ## PLUGINS: mesh/filter - **addscale** This filter sorts sets the scale parameter for each vertex from a 3D image. Image and mesh are expected to be in the same physical coordinate space., supported parameters are: *img* =(required, string) 3DImage that contains the scale values as a volume image.. - **deltribynormal** This filter deletes all triangles that have a normal that differs by the given angle from the provided direction., supported parameters are: *angle* = 5; float Tolerance angle (in degree) that the normal can diviate from the provided direction.. *dir* =(required, 3dfvector) Direction the triangle normals are expected to point to. The orientation of the vector is taken into account.. - **scale** This plug-in provides a filter to scale triangulat meshes by a given strategy, supported parameters are: *anisoscale* = \[\[1,1,1\]\]; 3dfvector Ansiotropic scaling parameter.. *box-end* = \[\[256,256,256\]\]; 3dfvector Box end for fitbox scaling.. *box-start* = \[\[0,0,0\]\]; 3dfvector Box start for fitbox scaling.. *isoscale* = 1; float Isotropic scaling parameter.. *shift* = \[\[0,0,0\]\]; 3dfvector Shift mesh after scaling.. *strategy* = iso-linear; dict Isotropic scaling parameter.. Supported values are: *iso-linear* ‐ Scale and shirt the mesh by scaling it isotropically as given by parameter 'isoscale' and apply a shift as given by parameter 'shift' *aniso-linear* ‐ Scale and shirt the mesh by scaling it anisotropically as given by parameter 'anisoscale' and apply a shift as given by parameter 'shift' *iso-fitbox* ‐ Fit the mesh into the given box by shifting it and apply isotropic scaling. The box is given by the parameters 'box-start' for upper, left, frontal corner, and 'box-end' for the lower, right back corner *aniso-fitbox* ‐ Fit the mesh into the given box by shifting it and apply anisotropic scaling. The box is given by the parameters 'box-start' for upper, left, frontal corner, and 'box-end' for the lower, right back corner - **selectbig** This filter selects the component with the highest number of triangles from a mesh that is actually composed of disconnected components. Components are considered to be disconnected if they don't share a common edge (they might share a common vertex though (no parameters) - **vtxsort** This filter sorts the vertices of a mesh according to the given direction. Specifically, the dot product between the given direction and the vertices will be ordered ascending, supported parameters are: *dir* = \[\[0,0,1\]\]; 3dfvector Sorting direction,. ## PLUGINS: mesh/io - **datapool** Virtual IO to and from the internal data pool Recognized file extensions: .@ - **off** plugin to load/store some Geomview OFF files. Supported is only the ASCII format 3D meshes with normales and per-vertex RGB colors. Alpha values and texture coordinates, as well as per face properties are ignored. Polygons are read and triangulated. Recognized file extensions: .OFF, .off - **ply** Ply triangle mesh input/output support Recognized file extensions: .PLY, .ply - **stl** STL mesh io plugin Recognized file extensions: .STL, .stl - **vista** Vista/Simbio triangle mesh input/output support Recognized file extensions: .-, .V, .VMESH, .v, .vmesh - **vtk** A subset of VTK mesh in-and output: Triangle meshes are written, and triangle meshes and triangle strips are read. Additional per-vertex attributes are supported: 'normals', 'colors' for three component colors, and 'scale' for a scalar value attached to each vertex. The data is written by the vtkPolyDataWriter in binary format. Recognized file extensions: .VTK, .VTKMESH, .vtk, .vtkmesh ## EXAMPLE Run an isotropic scaling on input.vmesh to fit it into the box defined by the corners \<0,0,0\> - \<128,128,128\> and save the result to output.vmesh mia-meshfilter -i input.vmesh -o output.vmesh scale:strategy=iso-fitbox,box-start=\[\<0,0,0\>\],box-end=\[\<128,128,128\>\] ## AUTHOR(s) Gert Wollny ## COPYRIGHT This software is Copyright (c) 1999‐2015 Leipzig, Germany and Madrid, Spain.
