The program "shelly"
is a small example frontend to "libshelly"
.
It simply reads a data file containing a set of parameters,
then calculates a shell
using "libshelly"
and finally writes a 3D object to another file.
Both files have to be specified as arguments to "shelly"
.
If called with a wrong number of arguments
"shelly"
will print a short help note onto the
standard output. It does not accept any switches.
Generally, you should run "shelly"
this way:
>shelly infile outfile
Replace infile
with the path and name of the file to be read, and
outfile
with the path and name of the file to be written.
You may start "shelly"
without arguments. It will ask
for the two filenames, then.
There are example data files in the "shy"
subdirectory of the
distribution.

, refer
