Is used to generate fitting values for each point in mesh. For each point, it generates a 1-ring & 2-ring neighborhood around that point. Then it does a plane fitting algorithm using Linear Least squares and outputs the fitness values for each ring.

General

-i <filename>

Name of input file

-o <filename>

Name of output file

-iaux

Use auxillary reader (for input) for SMAX = SMA(+AUX) or SMBX = SMB(+Aux) formats

-istd

Use normal reader (everything else)

-oaux

Use auxillary writer (for output) for SMAX = SMA(+AUX) or SMBX = SMB(+Aux) formats

-ostd

Use normal writer (everything else)
