D1. Synopsis

The command line options needed by the vdoe program is described below in Figure D.1.

Figure D.1: Command line options of the vdoe program.
usage: vdoe [inputFile] <options>

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
  inputFile              # input file

OPTIONS
 -outputFile, -o         # output file
 -[no]rawOutput, -raw    # raw output format
 -outputFormat, -of      # output format string for raw output
 -designType, -design    # string for the design, overwrites the default
                           design
 -cubeDesign, -cube      # design of the cube points of a Central Composite
                           Design
 -alphaCcx, -alpha       # value of alpha, used from the Central Composite
                           Designs
 -centerpoints, -centerpoints  # number of center-points
 -[no]conventional, -conv  # conventional mode enables multiple points
 -help, -?               # print a short help
 -longHelp               # print this help message

The parameters of the command line define from where the program reads the design description, some parameters to overwrite this description, and where the output should be placed. A complete description of the options is shown in Table D.1.


Table D.1: Command line options of the vdoe program
Parameter Description
-o "filename" If the -o flag is present, the program writes the output to the file specified in filename.
-raw If the -raw flag is present, the program writes the output in a raw format.
-design <Design> If the -design flag is present, the default design is overwritten by <Design>.
-alpha <Number> If the -alpha flag is present, the default algorithm for calculating alpha from Central Composite Designs is disabled an the value is set to <Number>.
-cube <HF/FF> With the -cube switch, the type of the Cube points can be selected. The possibilities are HF for half fractional and FF for full fractional.
-alpha <Number> If the -alpha flag is present the value of alpha for the Central Composite Designs is overwritten by <Number>.
