NAME

       stl_decimate  -  stl_decimate  simplifies  the provided STL file using Sven Forstmann's implementation of
       Fast Quadric Mesh Simplification: https://github.com/sp4cerat/Fast-Quadric-Mesh-Simplification

DESCRIPTION

       stl_decimate simplifies the provided STL file using Sven Forstmann's implementation of Fast Quadric  Mesh
       Simplification: https://github.com/sp4cerat/Fast-Quadric-Mesh-Simplification

       usage:  stl_decimate [ -t <target triangle count> ] [ -p <percentage of triangles to keep> ] <input file>
       <output file>

              Outputs a simplified version of the input mesh.  -t is used to specifiy an  exact  triangle  count
              (an  integer).  -p is used to specifiy a fraction of the starting triangle count (a floating point
              number between 0 and 1).  If both -t and -p are used, the smaller number of triangles is used.  If
              neither are provided, -p defaults to .5.
