Usage: minmax [options] [input_file]
Read a file in OFF format containing a graph of a polyhedron, with or
without vertex coordinates, and try to create a spherical or ellipsoidal
tesselation where the maximum edge is a minimum length, or try to make
into a regular polyhedron. If input_file is not given the program reads
from standard input.
Options
-h,--help this help message (run 'off_util -H help' for general help)
--version version information
-n <itrs> number of iterations (default 1000)
-s <perc> percentage to shorten longest edges on iteration (default: 1)
-l <perc> percentage to lengthen shortest edges (-a a/v) on iteration
(default: 0.0)
-k <perc> percentage to reduce polygon radius (-a u) on iteration
(default: value of -s)
-f <perc> percentage to reduce distance of vertex from face plane (-a u)
on iteration (default: value of -s)
-a <alg> length changing algorithm
v - shortest and longest edges attached to a vertex (default)
a - shortest and longest of all edges
u - make faces into unit-edged regular polygons (-l controls
planarity, ignore -p, -E)
-p <mthd> method of placement onto a unit sphere:
n - project onto the sphere (default)
r - random placement
u - unscramble: place a small polygon on one side and the
rest of the vertices at a point on the other side
-E <prms> use ellipsoid, three numbers separated by commas are the
axis lengths (for a superellipsoid an optional fourth number
gives the power)
-L <lim> minimum change of distance/width_of_model to terminate, as
negative exponent (default: 16 giving 1e-16)
-z <n> status checking and reporting every n iterations, -1 for no
status (default: 1000)
-q quiet, do not print status messages
-o <file> write output to file (default: write to standard output)
