stl2gts: Convert an STL file to a GTS file and display surface statistics.
$ stl2gts --verbose < ${filename-stl} > ${filename-gts}
try on your machine
The command "stl2gts" is being executed with the options "--verbose".
Here's how the command works:
- "${filename-stl}" represents the value of the variable "filename-stl". It is being used as an input file for the command.
- The "<" symbol redirects the contents of the file specified by "${filename-stl}" to the standard input of the command "stl2gts".
- "${filename-gts}" represents the value of the variable "filename-gts". It is being used as the output file for the command.
- The ">" symbol redirects the output of the command "stl2gts" to the file specified by "${filename-gts}".
In summary, this command takes an STL file (${filename-stl}), converts it using "stl2gts" utility, and then saves the converted output to a GTS file (${filename-gts}). The "--verbose" option is used to display detailed information about the process while it is being executed.
