meshlabserver: Process a 3D file using a filter script, writing the output of the filters into a log file.
$ meshlabserver -i ${input-x3d} -o ${output-x3d} -s ${filter_script-mlx} -l ${logfile}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the MeshLabServer application, which is a command-line tool for processing 3D meshes. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • meshlabserver: This is the executable command for running the MeshLabServer application.

  • -i ${input-x3d}: This option specifies the input file for processing. ${input-x3d} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the input X3D file.

  • -o ${output-x3d}: This option specifies the output file where the result of the processing will be saved. ${output-x3d} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path for the output X3D file.

  • -s ${filter_script-mlx}: This option specifies a filter or script to be applied during the processing. ${filter_script-mlx} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the path to the filter script (usually in MLX format).

  • -l ${logfile}: This option specifies the path to a log file where the command output and any error messages will be saved. ${logfile} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path for the log file.

In summary, this command executes the MeshLabServer with the specified input and output files, applies a filter script to process the mesh, and saves the processing log to a specified file.
