NAME

       mia-meshfilter - Run filters on a 3D mesh.

SYNOPSIS

       mia-meshfilter -i <in-file> -o <out-file> [options] <PLUGINS:mesh/filter>

DESCRIPTION

       mia-meshfilter  This  program runs a series filters on a given input mesh. 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=(required)
                     input mesh to be filtered  For supported file types see PLUGINS:mesh/io

              -o --out-file=(required)
                     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:
                        info ‐ Low level messages
                        warning ‐ Warnings

PLUGINS: mesh/filter

       scale     This  plug-in  provides  a  filter  to  scale  triangulat meshes by a given strategy, supported
                 parameters are:

                     anisoscale = [[1,1,1]] (streamable)
                       Ansiotropic scaling parameter..

                     box-end = [[256,256,256]] (streamable)
                       Box end for fitbox scaling..

                     box-start = [[0,0,0]] (streamable)
                       Box start for fitbox scaling..

                     isoscale = 1 (streamable)
                       Isotropic scaling parameter..

                     shift = [[0,0,0]] (streamable)
                       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'
                           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-linear  ‐  Scale  and  shirt the mesh by scaling it anisotropically as given by
                           parameter 'anisoscale' and apply a shift as given by parameter 'shift'
                           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

       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]] (streamable)
                       Sorting direction,.

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
