.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
gtscoarsen [OPTION] < file.gts
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Construct a coarsened version of the input GTS surface.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.BI \-n \ N, \ \-\-number\fB= N
Stop the coarsening process if the number of edges
was to fall below N.
.TP
.BI \-c \ C, \ \-\-cost\fB= C
Stop the coarsening process if the cost of collapsing
an edge is larger than C.
.TP
.B \-m,  \-\-midvertex
Use midvertex as replacement vertex instead of default
volume optimized point.
.TP
.B \-l,  \-\-length
Use length^2 as cost function instead of default
optimized point cost.
.TP
.BI \-f \ F, \ \-\-fold\fB= F
Set maximum fold angle to F degrees (default 1 degree).
.TP
.BI \-w \ W, \ \-\-vweight\fB= W
Set weight used for volume optimization (default 0.5).
.TP
.BI \-b \ W, \ \-\-bweight\fB= W
Set weight used for boundary optimization (default 0.5).
.TP
.BI \-s \ W, \ \-\-sweight\fB= W
Set weight used for shape optimization (default 0.0).
.TP
.B \-p,  \-\-progressive
Write progressive surface file.
.TP
.B \-L,  \-\-log
Log the evolution of the cost.
.TP
.BI \-f \ VAL, \ \-\-fold\fB= VAL
Smooth only folds.
.TP
.B \-v,  \-\-verbose
Print statistics about the surface.
.TP
.B \-h,  \-\-help
Display this help and exit.
