NAME

       cgalsimp2 - triangular surface mesh simplification

SYNOPSIS

       cgalsimp2 input.off keepratio

DESCRIPTION

       The   cgalsimp2   utility   is   a  surface  mesh  simplification  utility  built  on  the  CGAL  library
       (http://cgal.org). This tool utilizes the Lindstrom–Turk algorithm and decimate a  surface  mesh  into  a
       coarser downsampled surface. The output mesh is stored in a file named "out.off".

       Please  see https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Surface_mesh_simplification/ for details regarding the underlying
       algorithm.

OPTIONS

       This program accepts the following input parameters:

       input.off|(required)
              The input surface mesh in the OFF format

       keepratio|(required)
              A 0-1 floating point number denoting the percentage of edges that will be  preserved  (1-keepratio
              is  the  percentage  of  edges  that  will be decimated. If keepratio is negative, it triggers the
              "LindstromTurk placement" policy; otherwise, it uses a mid-point placement policy by  clapsing  an
              edge to its mid-point.
