NAME

rngrd-lint — check the loading and structuring of a decorated mesh

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

rngrd-lint checks the data used to define a triangular mesh, to which a temperature and a spectrally varying Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) are associated for each triangle.

This utility effectively validates the behavior of the Rad-Net GRouD library (RNGRD) regarding the loading and internal structuring of this data. Its purpose is therefore to verify that the input data is valid and conforms to the library's expectations prior to running another program that relies on the same library and is intended to process the same data.

The options are as follows:

-h

Display short help and exit.

-M material_list

File that lists all the materials used by the geometry. It is a text file in rnsl(5) format, where each line specifies the path to a material file in mrumtl(5) format.

-m mesh

File that stores triangular mesh data in the smsh(5) format.

-p properties

File that defines triangle properties in rnsp(5) format.

-V

Perform more thorough validation tests, such as checking all surface properties to verify that they match the mesh they are associated with and the list of loaded materials.

-v

Make the program verbose.

EXIT STATUS

The rngrd-lint utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

Verify the loading and structure of the triangular mesh geometry geom.smsh as well as its triangle-specific properties in props.rnsp. The materials referenced in the props.rnsp file are listed in the text file mat.rnsl. Perform a thorough validation of the loaded data (option -V) and make the command verbose (option -v) to obtain more information than just its return code:

rngrd-lint -m geom.smsh -p props.rnsp -M mat.rnsl -Vv
