Hi Ales,

Re: how to use the SCIRun convert programs
The convert programs are C++ programs that have been compiled into
executables (programs that you just run). To run them, you either
need them in your path or need to be in the directory that they exist
in. Assuming you downloaded and installed a SCIRun RPM, you should be
able to do the following.
1) Lauch a shell (eg: in an xterm or terminal). You probably already
have one open.
2) Type these commands into the shell at the prompt:
cd /usr/local/SCIRun/bin/StandAlone/convert
./TextToTetVolField --help
[The above line will run the program and print out
useful information. Then to do your conversion type
the following line:]
./TextToTetVolField torso-mesh.pts torso-mesh.tets torso-mesh.tv.fld
[Make sure that your torso-mesh.pts and torso-mesh.tets files
are both in the current directory. Or use an absolute path
as seen in the next line:]
./TextToTetVolField /home/ales/torso-mesh.pts /home/ales/torso-mesh.tets
torso-mesh.tv.fld
[The output file (torso-mesh.tv.fld) will be in the current
directory, so you will need to move it to where ever you wish
to store it.]
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me
directly (dav@sci.utah.edu).
