VOLboundary(1)

NAME
volboundary - extract boundaries of vol files.

SYNOPSIS
volboundary [-i inputfile (default stdin) ] [-o outputfile (default stdout)] volboundary file volboundary -h

DESCRIPTION
volboundary extract boundaries of vol files by removing voxel that are not on the surface of the volume. A voxel is on the surface if he has at least one neighbour in the background (i.e. a transparent voxel). GeomView files generated with vol2geom(1) will then be faster to use.

OPTIONS

-i inputfile : reads inputfile instead stdin.

-o outputfile : writes output into outpufile instead of stdout.

-h : show help. file : input file and output file are "file"

RETURN VALUE
0 : No error 1 : Bad command line 2 : Couldn't read input file 3 : Couldn't write output file

EXAMPLES
volboundary -i big.vol -o light.vol
cat big.vol | volboundary > light.vol
