NAME

       stl_cylinders  -  stl_cylinders  outputs  an  STL file with multiple cylinders defined by a custom binary
       input file.

DESCRIPTION

       stl_cylinders outputs an STL file with multiple cylinders defined by a custom binary input file.

       usage: stl_cylinders [ -r <radius> ] [ -s <segments> ] <input file> <output file>

              Outputs an stl file made up of N cylinders defined by start and end points in the input file  each
              with  the  specified radius and number of segments provided on the command line. The first 4 bytes
              of the input file represent how many cylinders to generate, N. The rest of the input file  defines
              start  and  end  points  that  define a line segment of the the central axis of the cylinder. Each
              segment is defined by 6, 4 byte floats. The first three are the X,Y,Z values of  the  start  point
              and the second three are the X,Y,Z values of the end point.  If the radius is omitted, it defaults
              to 1. If segments is omitted, it defaults to 32.
