NAME

ptcl2vms - Transform lists of points into vms model files

SYNOPSIS

ptcl2vms [options] point_files... vmsfile

DESCRIPTION

ptcl2vms reads newline-delimited 3D points from text files, where coordinates are delimited with spaces, and stores a sequence of sphere models in vmsfile. The file vmsfile will be created if it doesn't already exist. Each sphere in the output represents a single point from the inputs. Each input file is placed in its own timestep of the output vms.

OPTIONS

-radius <size>

Radius of spheres to produce (default 0.5)

-ref <number>

Specify the number of refinement passes to do on sphere models (default 0)

-startts <ts>

Integer offset of first time step to produce in vms file. (default 0)

-stride <count>

Read one in every <count> points from the input files. (default 1)

-help

Print a usage statement and then exit.

-quiet

Operate quietly, only reporting fatal errors.
