Static Public Member Functions | |

This class offers a static function to handle the command line arguments for the SMILE example command-line utility 'shapes'. The function parses the command line arguments and calls the appropriate high-level functions to perform the actions requested by the user. When invoked with invalid command line arguments, it prints a brief help message. The following command line arguments are currently supported; their order is not significant.
shapes <shapes_dataset_filepath> [-o <tiff_output_filepath>] shapes -x <library_dirpath>
The first form generates a TIFF image based on the instructions provided in the shapes parameter file (a SMILE dataset) specified as the first command line argument. The .shapes filename extension may be included or omitted. If the optional output filepath is present (the -o option), it specifies the path to the image file that will be created according to the instructions in the parameter file. The .tiff filename extension is added unless the filepath already has the .tiff filename extension. If the -o option is not present, the output filepath is derived from the parameter filepath by replacing the .smile filename extension by the .tiff filename extension.
The second form using the -x option causes a SMILE schema file to be generated corresponding to the metadata in the source code (i.e. in the class definitions of the Item subclasses). The file is named 'shapes.smile' and is placed in the specified directory.
