How to Add ShapeWorks Commands?

To add ShapeWorks Commands, the following steps need to be followed:

1. Declare command in Applications/shapeworks/Commands.h

   COMMAND_DECLARE(CommandName, CommandType);

   CommandName is the name of the command.
   CommandType is the type of command.
   ShapeWorks supports ImageCommand, MeshCommand, ParticleSystemCommand, OptimizeCommandGroup and GroomCommandGroup

2. Define command in

   • Applications/shapeworks/ImageCommands.cpp if CommandType is ImageCommand
   • Applications/shapeworks/MeshCommands.cpp if CommandType is MeshCommand
   • Applications/shapeworks/ParticleSystemCommands.cpp if CommandType is ParticleSystemCommand
   • Applications/shapeworks/Commands.cpp for other types of commands

   ``` /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // CommandName /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void CommandName::buildParser() { const std::string prog = "commandname"; // supports command-name as well const std::string desc = "brief description of command"; parser.prog(prog).description(desc);

   parser.add_option("--optionname").action("store").type("double").set_default(0.01).help("Description of optionname."); // additional options/arguments...

   Command::buildParser(); }

   bool CommandName::execute(const optparse::Values &options, SharedCommandData &sharedData) { if (!sharedData.validImage()) { std::cerr << "No image to operate on\n"; return false; }

   double optionName = static_cast(options.get("optionname")); // read additional options/arguments...

   sharedData.image.example(optionName, ...); // call related function return true; } ```

3. Add command to Applications/shapeworks/shapeworks.cpp

   shapeworks.addCommand(CommandName::getCommand());
