<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear Camino team,<br>
I am currently trying to select a subset of 30 directions from a set of 60 directions. I would like to get the combination of 30 out of 60 directions which is the most uniform possible. Therefore, I adopted the command<span style="font-style: italic;"> subsetpoints</span>.
<br>
<br>
My code, which I run on the input file inputDirs.bvec (a text file with 60 rows, 3 colums, one row per direction) is something like<br>
<br>
<br style="font-style: italic;">
<span style="font-style: italic;">cat inputDirs.bvec | subsetpoints -singlesubset 30 -savestate myCurrentState > outputdirs.bvec</span><br>
<br>
<br>
and after ~ 5hours of processing, it returns the output <span style="font-style: italic;">
outputdirs.bvec</span> and a second file called <span style="font-style: italic;">
orderedPoints.dat</span> . <br>
<br>
For what I understood from the guide, I think that both first 30 rows of <span style="font-style: italic;">
orderedPoints.dat</span> and rows from the 2nd to 31st of<span style="font-style: italic;"> outputdirs.bvec</span> are the subset of directions I am looking for. Can you confirm this?
<br>
<br>
Overall, first 30 rows of <span style="font-style: italic;">orderedPoints.dat</span> and rows from the 2nd to 31st of<span style="font-style: italic;"> outputdirs.bvec</span> are the same points but ordered differently. What's the difference between the two
orders? <br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for helping me out,<br>
all the best<br>
<br>
Francesco<br>
