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
                        error ‐ Report errors
                        fail ‐ Report test failures
                        message ‐ Normal messages
                        fatal ‐ Report only fatal errors

   Processing
                 --threads=-1
                     Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower
                     or equal to the number of logical  processor  cores  in  the  machine.  (-1:
                     automatic estimation).

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

       mia-meshfilter             -i            input.vmesh            -o            output.vmesh
