NAME

makemesh - auxiliary program for resistance mesh refinement

SYNOPSIS

makemesh [-vEc] [-m maxmem] cell [...]

OPTIONS

-v

verbose mode.

-E

do not automatically remove the input file 'mesh_aln' from the database.

-c

do not compress the temporary files (less cpu time, more disk space).

-mmaxmem

use maxmem (default 1) MByte of main memory for sorting of edges.

DESCRIPTION

Makemesh is an auxiliary program for space (1ICD) that is used for resistance mesh refinement. It takes as input line segments from a stream "mesh_aln" (produced by space during a first pass) and produces as output line segments in a stream "mesh_gln" (read by space during a second pass). Makemesh is automatically invoked by space (1ICD) when using the option for resistance mesh refinement.

In order to sort the output, makemesh uses a directory where it stores temporary data. The default directory for this is selected from the list of directories /tmp and /usr/tmp, whichever has more space available. Using the environment variable SPACE_TMPDIR it is possible to specify an alternative list of directories, separated by the character ':' (e.g. /tmp:/usr/tmp:/user/john/tmp).

SEE ALSO
