NAME

splitvect - divide Geomview VECT tube into components

SYNOPSIS

splitvect --verbose <files>

DESCRIPTION

Splitvect is used to separate Geomview VECT files containing several polylines into several component filenames. This facility is most often used when the components must be handled differently by tools which are not multicomponent-friendly.

Splitvect will process up to 100,000 input files at a time, making it convenient for use in animation.

OPTIONS

splitvect uses the argtable library for command-line parsing, so the syntax of option handling should follow GNU conventions. Here are descriptions of the individual options.

-v --verbose: The user can print information during a run by setting these flags.
files: The input files, expected to be in Geomview VECT format. See http://www.geomview.org for details on the file format. Splitvect will accept up to 100,000 files (a little more than one hour of video at 24 tubes per second) in any one invocation. This argument is not optional.; If the input is named file.vect, the output files will be file.1.vect, file.2.vect, ... file.n.vect.
--help: This option displays a brief glossary of the input options.

EXAMPLES

Split the link 8_3_3.vect into its components:

 splitvect 8_3_3.vect

the output will appear in 8_3_3.1.vect, 8_3_3.2.vect and 8_3_3.3.vect.
