NAME

       mia-meshdistance-to-stackmask  -  Evaluate  the  distance  between a binary shape given as
       reference and a mesh.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-meshdistance-to-stackmask -i <in-mesh> -r <ref-mask> -o <out-mesh> [options]

DESCRIPTION

       mia-meshdistance-to-stackmask This program takes a binary masks and a triangular  mesh  as
       input  and  evaluates  the  distance of the mesh vertices to the binary maskand stores the
       result in a new mesh.
