Synopsis

Description

Options

-h

program help

-c <num>

a unit circle arrangement of num pins, centre (0,0,0) in xy plane

-l <num>

a 2 unit line arrangement of num pins, from (-1,0,0) to (1,0,0)

-p <crds>

line end points coordinates, six numbers separated by commas

-T <tran>

translation, three numbers separated by commas which are used as the x, y and z displacements

-R <rot>

rotation about an axis, four numbers separated by commas. The first three numbers are a direction vector for the axis, the last number is the angle to rotate (in degrees)

-M <norm>

reflection in a plane, three numbers separated by commas which give a vector normal to the plane of reflection.

-S <scal>

scale, one, three or four numbers separated by commas. If one number then scale by this factor in all directions. If three numbers these are the factors to scale along the x, y and z axes. If four numbers, the first three are a direction vector for the scaling, the last number is the factor to scale

-I

invert (equivalent to -S -1)

-o <file>

write output to file, if this option is not used the program writes to standard output

Examples

   string_art -c 180 -c 60 -o nephroid.off

   string_art -c 120 -S 1,0,0 -c 120 -S 0,1,0 -o astroid.off

Notes

   $ string_art -l 20 -T 1,0,1.414 -R 0,0,45 -l 20 -T -1,0,-1.414 -R 0,0,-45 | poly_kscope -s O > st_oct.off
