.SH NAME
stl_convex \- stl_convex prints whether an STL file is a convex polyhedron.
.SH DESCRIPTION
stl_convex prints whether an STL file is a convex polyhedron.
.PP
usage: stl_convex [ \fB\-v\fR ] [ <input file> ]
.IP
Prints whether the input file is a convex polyhedron. If no input file is specified, data is read from stdin. If \fB\-v\fR is specified, prints out the Euler characteristic in addition to whether the mesh is convex.
.PP
The Euler characteristic of a polyhedral surface is defined as V \- E + F, where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. All convex polyhedra will have an Euler characteristic of 2.
