NAME

       cgalsimp2 - triangular surface mesh simplification

SYNOPSIS

       cgalsimp2 input.off keepratio

DESCRIPTION

       The  cgalsimp2  utility is a surface mesh simplification utility built on the CGAL library
       (http://cgal.org). This tool utilizes the Lindstrom–Turk algorithm and decimate a  surface
       mesh  into  a  coarser  downsampled  surface.  The  output  mesh is stored in a file named
       "out.off".

       Please see https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Surface_mesh_simplification/ for details  regarding
       the underlying algorithm.

OPTIONS

       This program accepts the following input parameters:

       input.off|(required)
              The input surface mesh in the OFF format

       keepratio|(required)
              A 0-1 floating point number denoting the percentage of edges that will be preserved
              (1-keepratio is the percentage of edges that will be  decimated.  If  keepratio  is
              negative,  it  triggers  the "LindstromTurk placement" policy; otherwise, it uses a
              mid-point placement policy by clapsing an edge to its mid-point.
