| Option | Param | Description | |
| -c | --const | list | Define constant values, that are used by the internal encoders and by the numeric options as predefined global variables. This option allows a conditional encoding of text files. It can be used multiple times for multiple definitions.
The parameter is a comma separated list of terms and a term is ' |
| --scale | vector[@origin] | Transform the data: Scale all coordinates and size values by 'vector' relative to the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, Negative values mirror the coordinates. Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --shift | vector | Transform the data: Add 'vector' to all coordinates. It's simlar to --translate, but the addition is done before rotation. The parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z').
Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --xss | x1old,x1new,x2old,x2new | --xss (x-scale-shift) calculates the X values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression. | |
| --yss | y1old,y1new,y2old,y2new | --yss (y-scale-shift) calculates the Y values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression. | |
| --zss | z1old,z1new,z2old,z2new | --zss (z-scale-shift) calculates the Z values of --scale and --shift, so that old values are transformed to the new values. The parameters are numbers or expression. | |
| --rot | degree[@origin] | Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' (is a vector) around the 3 axes. All 3 axes goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,y,z'). Option --rot is an alternative for --xrot, --yrot and --zrot to define all 3 rotations in one step. Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --xrot | degree[@origin] | Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the x-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('y,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --yrot | degree[@origin] | Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the x-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --zrot | degree[@origin] | Transform the data: Rotate all coordinates and rotation values by the angle 'degree' around the z-axis, that goes through the point 'origin'. If the origin is not set, Each parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,y' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, X-ROTATE, Y-ROTATE, Z-ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --ypos | pos | This option defines an Y position for KMP:CKPT transformations. It has only impact to X and Z rotations (Options --xrot and --zrot). If not set, the mean y of the active rotation origins are used. | |
| --translate | vector | Transform the data: Add 'vector' to all coordinates. It's simlar to --shift, but the addition is done after rotation. The parameter is either a vector expression or a comma separated expression list of coordinates ('x,z' or 'x,y,z'). Transformations are calculated in the order SCALE, SHIFT, ROTATE, TRANSLATE. |
|
| --null | Create a neutral transformation without affecting the coordinates. The only influence is, that the dependent values (like maximum) are re-calculated as if a transformation has taken place. | ||
| --next | Close the current transformation step with all scaling, shifting, rotation and translation options and open a new step with cleared options. On transformation each step is logical done one by one. In real, one total transformation matrix is calculated and used for fast transformations.
If option --next is used, the ability for modifying the scale and rotation vectors (not the positions) of different KMP sections is nearly always lost. A warning is printed if this occurs. |
||
| --ascale | factor@dir | Transform the data and do an axis scale: Close the current transformation step like --next and scale the data by This kind of transformation is EXPERIMENTAL! |
|
| --arot | degree[@pos1]@pos2 | Transform the data and do an axis rotation: Close the current transformation step like --next and rotate the data by This kind of transformation is EXPERIMENTAL! |
|
| --tform-script | script | Load the script and execute it by the text parser.
Then for each coordinate (2D and 3D), call the macro
For each file, macro Before each macro call, the private and local variables are cleared and only global parameters are permanent. The zero based index is cleared for each new source. The parameters of the macro calls are defined in the local name space. |
|
| -B | --brief | If set once, suppress vector dumps for transformation steps and ignore option --long. If set twice, suppress vector dump for final transformation too. | |
| -l | --long | If set once, print inverse matrix for the final transformation. If set twice, print inverse matrix for all transformations. | |
| -q | --quiet | Option --quiet is dedicated to automatic tests comparing the old and new transformation algorithms. If set once, the tables are only printed, if the results differ. If set twice, nothing is printed at all and only the exit status will inform about the results. | |
Then it reads each parameter and scan it as a vector position. The position is transformed in different ways to confirm the algorithms.
