tridist - measures the distances between a point cloud and a triangle cloud

SYNOPSIS

tridist [-r|--ref] [-o|--old-point] [-n|--new-point] [-d|--distance] [-p INT|--precision INT] [-?|-h|--help] FILENAME

DESCRIPTION

tridist reads a point cloud from the standard input and a triangle cloud from a file (FILENAME) and returns its results to the standard output. Possible output data are the orinal point position (option -o), the closest point on the triangle cloud (option -n), the distance to the triangle cloud (option -d).

OPTIONS

-r,--ref

return the point reference number

-o,--old-point

return each point of the old point cloud

-n,--new-point

for each point of the point cloud, return the closest point on the triangle cloud

-d,--distance

for each point of the point cloud, return the shortest distance to the triangle cloud -p INTEGER, --precision INTEGER number of decimals (default: 3)

-h,--help,-?
