VRINGVisionX 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
