NAME
mkpolyh - a program to generate rectangular meshes or nets from
given functions
SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION
Mkpolyh is a utility to create meshes from one of several mesh
functions, of the form z = f(x,y). The data is saved as a .polyh file.
The main purpose of this program is to allow the user to write their own
mesh function and create a mesh for personal use. There are a number of
sample functions included in the source code meshfn.c to demonstrate
how to implement a mesh function.
It takes one filename and optional switches its command line arguments.
Options
All these options can be abbreviated to the least letters needed
to make the chosen option distinct.
The default values are given in parentheses.
- -list

lists the functions available with their default settings.
- -function <fno>
-
sets the mesh function to be used. (0)
- -size <XxYxZ>
-
specifies the size of the bounding box. (1.0x1.0x1.0)
- -divisions <XxY>
-
sets the number of divisions used in the gird. (30x30)
- -dmap '(<p1>,[<p2>,...])'
-
gives the parameters for the chosen function to use.
- -help
