.SH NAME
siconos_vview \- Viewer for Siconos mechanics-IO HDF5 files based on VTK.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B siconos_vview
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR]... \fI\,<HDF5>\/\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Description: Viewer and exporter for Siconos mechanics\-IO HDF5 files based on VTK.
.SH OPTIONS
.HP
\fB\-\-help\fR
.IP
display this message
.HP
\fB\-\-version\fR
.IP
display version information
.HP
\fB\-\-tmin=\fR value
.IP
set the time lower bound for visualization
.HP
\fB\-\-tmax=\fR value
.IP
set the time upper bound for visualization
.TP
\fB\-\-cf\-scale=\fR value
(default : 1.0 )
.IP
rescale the arrow representing the contact forces by the value.
the normal cone and the contact points are also rescaled
.HP
\fB\-\-no\-cf\fR
.IP
do not display contact forces
.HP
\fB\-\-imr\fR
.IP
immediate\-mode\-rendering, use less memory at the price of
slower rendering
.HP
\fB\-\-global\-filter\fR (default : off)
.IP
With export mode, concatenates all blocks in a big vtkPolyData.
This option is for when the number of objects is huge.
With vview, the display is done with only one vtk
actor. Note that global\-filter use a vtkCompositeDataGeometryFilter
which is slow.
.HP
\fB\-\-no\-depth\-peeling\fR (default : on)
.IP
do not use vtk depth peeling
.HP
\fB\-\-maximum\-number\-of\-peels=\fR value
.IP
maximum number of peels when depth peeling is on
.HP
\fB\-\-occlusion\-ratio=\fR value
.IP
occlusion\-ratio when depth peeling is on
.TP
\fB\-\-normalcone\-ratio\fR = value
(default : 1.0 )
.IP
introduce a ratio between the representation of the contact
forces arrows the normal cone and the contact points. useful
when the contact forces are small with respect to the
characteristic dimesion
.HP
\fB\-\-advance=\fR value or 'fps'
.IP
automatically advance time during recording (default : don't
advance)
.HP
\fB\-\-fps=\fR value
.IP
frames per second of generated video (default 25)
.HP
\fB\-\-camera\fR=\fI\,x\/\fR,y,z
.IP
initial position of the camera (default=above looking down)
.HP
\fB\-\-lookat\fR=\fI\,x\/\fR,y,z
.IP
initial direction to look (default=center of bounding box)
.HP
\fB\-\-up\fR=\fI\,x\/\fR,y,z
.IP
initial up direction of the camera (default=y\-axis)
.HP
\fB\-\-ortho\fR=\fI\,scale\/\fR
.IP
start in ortho mode with given parallel scale
(default=perspective)
.HP
\fB\-\-with\-charts\fR=\fI\,value\/\fR
.IP
display convergence charts
.HP
\fB\-\-visible\fR=\fI\,all\/\fR
.IP
all: view all contactors and avatars
avatars: view only avatar if an avatar is defined (for each
object) contactors: ignore avatars, view only contactors where
avatars are contactors with collision_group=\-1
.HP
\fB\-\-with\-edges\fR
.IP
add edges in the rendering (experimental for primitives)
.HP
\fB\-\-with\-fixed\-color\fR
.IP
use fixed color defined in the config file
.HP
\fB\-\-depth\-2d=\fR<value>
.IP
specify a depth for 2D objects
.HP
\fB\-\-verbose=\fR<int verbose_level>
