Convert GTS to STL

$ gts2stl < [input.gts] > [output.stl]

$ gts2stl -v < [input.gts] > [output.stl]

gts2stl [options] < input.gts > output.stl

gts2stl converts GTS (GNU Triangulated Surface) files to STL (STereoLithography) format. GTS is a library for 3D surface mesh operations, and this tool exports meshes to the widely-used STL format.
STL files are commonly used for 3D printing and CAD applications. The conversion preserves the triangular mesh structure.

-v, --verbose

Verbose output.

Display help.

GTS files contain:
- Vertex count, edge count, face count
- Vertex coordinates
- Edge definitions (vertex pairs)
- Face definitions (edge triplets)

Reads from stdin, writes to stdout. Large meshes may take time. GTS format is less common than STL. Part of GTS library package.

gts2stl is part of the GTS Library (GNU Triangulated Surface), developed for computational geometry operations. The library provides tools for surface mesh manipulation, boolean operations, and format conversion.
