vptov − points to vector conversion

vptov [if=infile] [of=] [n=] [-g]

Vptov is a utility for converting a file of single 3-D and 2-D points (i.e. one vector per point) to a file containing a single 3-D or 2-D vector respectively. Optionally, a single dimension may be selected or one vector for each dimension may be output.

n=

Select the nth dimension (element) of each point and output a single generic float vector comprising these elements. The dimension is indexed from 1 to the dimension of the data.

-n

Output one generic float vector for each dimension of the points.

-g

Ignore the dimensionality of the input data and force the output to be a single generic float vector.
