Usage



Usage: off_normals [options] [input_file]

Display normals of faces, implicit edges, and vertices
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 <opts> plot element normals
               n - raw normals (default),  u - unit normals
               o - set all outward,  i - set all inward
               r - reverse both inward and outward
               e - connect normal to element centroid
               d - delete faces of eliminated normals
               D - delete all of original model
  -t <opts> normal type
               n - positional, p - perpendicular to element (default: n)
  -i <elms> show pointing. The element string can include o, i and h
               to show, respectively, outward, inward and hemispherical
               note: exlusion occurs before o, i, r of -n (default: oih)
  -s <elms> show elements. The element string can include v, e and f
               to show, respectively, vertices, edges and faces (default: f)
  -p <opts> average pattern string for edge and vertex normals. Done before -n
               r - raw, o - outward, i - inward, u - unit  (default: r)
  -C <xyz>  center of model, in form 'X,Y,Z' (default: centroid)
  -l <lim>  minimum distance for unique vertex locations as negative exponent
               (default: 12 giving 1e-12)
  -o <file> write output to file (default: write to standard output)

Coloring Options (run 'off_util -H color' for help on color formats)
  -O <col>  outward normal vertex color
  -I <col>  inward normal vertex color
               default: vertex color is negative of outward col
  -E <col>  normal vector color. connected to element centroid
               default: color of normal vertex
  -B <col>  normal vector base color. color at element centroid
               key word: b take color of element (default)
               key word: n take color of normal vertex
