Convert active scalar field to RGB colors after Cloud-to-Mesh Distance
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2023 7:24 pm
Just recently I discovered command line mode - and it’s awesome! Thank you very much for this great software!
So I have two files and want to calculate Cloud-to-Mesh Distance. I am only interested in all distances between 0 and 20. With CloudCompare_v2.13.alpha_bin_x64 on Windows 10, following command works fine:
In a second step I want to apply a custom color scale to the calculated file:
Now I want to load the calculated file into Paraview. This works when I manually convert the active scalar field to RGB colors, remove all SFs and save the file with extension ply.
To automate this process, I would like to add the command line arguments -SF_CONVERT_TO_RGB FALSE and -REMOVE_ALL_SFS. But the following command does not work:
Can you help me how to get this command working? Thank you very much in advance!
Here the log output:
