VRING

VisionX V4
NAME

vring − takes a VisionX file and creates planar rings along an axis

SYNOPSIS

vring [if=<input_file>] [of=<output_file>] [n=<number_of_slices>] [s=<interval_size>] [p=<max_poly_size>] [d=<tolerance>] [-x] [-y] [-z] [-v] [-c]

DESCRIPTION

vring takes VisionX file which contains triangular polygons and creates planar rings along a specified direction. The default is to make slices at every pixel in the z-direction. A ring contains points at which polygons intersect with the plane.

OPTIONS

if=

Input VisionX file

of=

Output VisionX file

n=

Number of slices to take along the axis

s=

Distance between slices (default is 1.0)

p=

The maximum polygon size which is used the restrict the region for searching connected polygons

d=

Tolerance distance between two points to consider them connected (default 2.0)

-x

Take the slices along x-axis

-y

Take the slices along y-axis

-z

Take the slices along z-axis

-v

The -v option specifies a verbose mode of operation in which some information is printed.

-c

Attempt to close rings with holes
