3dCurveViewer

Displays a 3D curve given as the input filename (with possibly projections and/or tangent information) by using QGLviewer.

Usage: 3dCurveViewer [options] input

Allowed options are :

Positionals:
  1 TEXT:FILE REQUIRED                  the name of the text file containing the list of 3D points (x y z per line).
 
Options:
  -h,--help                             Print this help message and exit
  -i,--input TEXT:FILE REQUIRED         the name of the text file containing the list of 3D points (x y z per line).
  -b,--box INT=0                        specifies the the tightness of the bounding box around the curve with a given integer displacement <arg> to enlarge it (0 is tight)
  -v,--viewBox TEXT:{WIRED,COLORED}=WIRED
                                        displays the bounding box, <arg>=WIRED means that only edges are displayed, <arg>=COLORED adds colors for planes (XY is red, XZ green, YZ, blue).
  -C,--curve3d                          displays the 3D curve.
  -c,--curve2d                          displays the 2D projections of the 3D curve on the bounding box.
  -3,--cover3d                          displays the 3D tangential cover of the curve.
  -2,--cover2d                          displays the 2D projections of the 3D tangential cover of the curve
  -n,--nbColors INT=3                   sets the number of successive colors used for displaying 2d and 3d maximal segments (default is 3: red, green, blue)
  -t,--tangent                          displays the tangents to the curve

Example:

$  3dCurveViewer -C -b 1 -3 -2 -c ${DGtal}/examples/samples/sinus.dat

You should obtain such a visualisation:

resulting visualisation of 3d curve with tangential cover.
