Standard Command-Line Arguments

CornerStone applications have series of standard command-line argument, that are used repeatedly the native C++ applications. Some applications do ignore part of the arguments, that are not relevant for them.

--background +filename Sets the background image, or image series for the application. If the filename looks like image (xyz.jpg, xyz.png), then it is loaded as an image. If the filename implies image series (xyz.imgs), then the argument is treated as a directory that contains a "big image movie" (image frames that are used as a single movie).

--bgcolor +"color" Sets the application background color to an RGB value. The color is defined with numbers between 0 and 1. Typical values are "1 0 0" (pure red), "1 0 0.5" (hot pink) "0.5 0.5 0.5" (medium gray). Note that the argument needs to contain the quotation marks or the command line parsing may fail. This option may be used together with the "--background" option to add color cast to the background image.

--config +filename Sets the computer vision configuration file to be used. Typical filenames are config.txt, config-dual-cam.txt.

--css +filename Sets the CSS style sheet for the application. The style sheet is automatically loaded by the application.

--iconify Starts the application in iconified mode. This is used especially when running some of the standard applications (HelloWorld etc.) as computer vision servers (added in release 2437).

--scale +number Sets the scale for the root widget of the scene. With this option you can easily scale the whole scene so that (physically) large applications can be run in a small window.

--screen +filename Sets the screen setup description file to be used. Typical filenames are screen-1024x768.xml, screen-1920x1080-mnachack.xml

--verbose Enables verbose error reporting on the terminal/command prompt.

--withripple Enables the ripple effect for the application (added in release 2437). Ripple effect is incompatible with the --scale argument.
