wwtdatatool wtml rewrite-disk
¶
The rewrite-disk
subcommand takes a template WTML file populated with
relative URLs and writes out a new file in which they have been changed to
absolute paths on the local disk. Such a file is useful because it can be opened
in the WWT desktop application.
Usage¶
wwtdatatool wtml rewrite-disk {INPUT-WTML} {OUTPUT-WTML}
The
INPUT-WTML
argument is the path to an input WTML file that may contain relative disk for some of its data references.The
OUTPUT-WTML
argument is the path where the modified output WTML file will be written.
Example¶
In typical usage, it is expected that you’re preparing a data set for
use in WWT. Using a tool like toasty, you’ve created data files and a WTML
file named index_rel.wtml
describing them. This file contains relative data
URLs, which are useful for data preparation but not allowed by the WWT apps. To
test your WTML by opening it in the Windows app, you might run:
wwtdatatool wtml rewrite-disk index_rel.wtml local.wtml
Then you’d open local.wtml
in the WWT desktop application to see how your
data look.
