Focus

Purpose​

  • Create a plex in which all components are spatially connected to only one "focus" component, i.e. a "hub-and-spoke" plex.

Usage​

metrical shape focus [OPTIONS] --component <COMPONENT> <PLEX_OR_RESULTS_PATH> <OUTPUT_DIR>

Concepts​

This Shape command creates a plex in which all components are spatially connected to only one origin component/object space ID. In other words, one component acts as a "focus", with spatial constraints to all other components.

Notice that this command will compose two or more spatial constraints to achieve the optimal "path" between two components in space.

Examples​

Create a plex focused around component ir_one​

metrical shape focus --component ir_one $RESULTS $OUTPUT_DIR

Arguments​

The path to the input plex. This can be a MetriCal results JSON or a plex JSON.

[OUTPUT_DIR]​

The output directory for this shaping operation.

Options​

Universal Options​

As with every mode, all universal options are supported (though not all may be used).

-a, --component [COMPONENT]​
