        print_meshlabserver_output=True):
    """Run meshlabserver in a subprocess.

    Args:
        log (str): filename of the log file for meshlabxml. If not
            None, all meshlabserver stdout and stderr messages
            will be appended to this file.
        ml_log (str): filename of the log file output directly by
            meshlabserver.
        mlp_in (str or list): input meshlab project file. Can be a
            single filename or a list of filenames. Filenames will
            be loaded in the order given. All project files will
            be loaded before individual input files. If you want
            to load project and input files in a different order
            then you should use a custom cmd.
        mlp_out (str): output meshlab project file. Specify a
            single filename (meshlabserver accepts multiple output
            project filenames, however they will all be identical,
            so there is little use). When this option is used all
            layers will be saved as ply files.
        overwrite (bool): when specifying mlp_out, this determines
            whether any existing files will be overwritten (if
            True) or new filenames created (if False). If a new
            project file is created meshes will have '_out' added
            to their name.
        file_in (str or list): input mesh filename. Can be a single
            filename or a list of filenames. Filenames will be
            loaded in the order given. All project files will be
            loaded before individual input files. If you want to
            load project and input files in a different order then
            you should use a custom cmd.
        file_out (str or list): output mesh filename. Can be a
            single filename or a list of filenames. The current
            layer will be saved to this filename or filenames.
            Multiple filenames are useful for saving to multiple
            formats at the same time. Currently there is no way to
            output multiple layers except for saving a mlp project
            file.
        output_mask (str or list): output mask options for the
            output file. Values must include the flag, i.e. -m or
            -output_mask. If this is not provided for an output
            file then function "default_output_mask" is used to
            determine default values.
        script (str): the mlx filter script filename to execute.
        cmd (str): a full meshlabserver command line, such as
            "meshlabserver -input file.stl". If not None, this
            will override all other arguements except for log.
        print_meshlabserver_output (bool): Pass meshlabserver's output to stdout; useful for debugging.
                                           Only used if log is None.

    Notes:
        Meshlabserver can't handle spaces in paths or filenames (on Windows at least; haven't tested on other platforms). Enclosing the name in quotes or escaping the space has no effect.

    Samples are generated according to a Poisson-disk distribution, using the
    algorithm described in:

    'Efficient and Flexible Sampling with Blue Noise Properties of Triangular Meshes'
    Massimiliano Corsini, Paolo Cignoni, Roberto Scopigno
    IEEE TVCG 2012

    Args:
        script: the FilterScript object or script filename to write
            the filter to.
        sample_num (int): The desired number of samples. The radius of the disk
            is calculated according to the sampling density.
        radius (float): If not zero this parameter overrides the previous
            parameter to allow exact radius specification.
        montecarlo_rate (int): The over-sampling rate that is used to generate
            the intial Monte Carlo samples (e.g. if this parameter is 'K' means
            that 'K * sample_num' points will be used). The generated
            Poisson-disk samples are a subset of these initial Monte Carlo
            samples. Larger numbers slow the process but make it a bit more
            accurate.
        save_montecarlo (bool): If True, it will generate an additional Layer
            with the Monte Carlo sampling that was pruned to build the Poisson
            distribution.
        approx_geodesic_dist (bool): If True Poisson-disk distances are
            computed using an approximate geodesic distance, e.g. an Euclidean
            distance weighted by a function of the difference between the
            normals of the two points.
        subsample (bool): If True the original vertices of the base mesh are
            used as base set of points. In this case the sample_num should be
            obviously much smaller than the original vertex number. Note that
            this option is very useful in the case you want to subsample a
            dense point cloud.
        refine (bool): If True the vertices of the refine_layer mesh layer are
            used as starting vertices, and they will be utterly refined by
            adding more and more points until possible.
        refine_layer (int): Used only if refine is True.
        best_sample (bool): If True it will use a simple heuristic for choosing
            the samples. At a small cost (it can slow the process a bit) it
            usually improves the maximality of the generated sampling.
        best_sample_pool (bool): Used only if best_sample is True. It controls
            the number of attempts that it makes to get the best sample. It is
            reasonable that it is smaller than the Monte Carlo oversampling
            factor.
        exact_num (bool): If True it will try to do a dicotomic search for the
            best Poisson-disk radius that will generate the requested number of
            samples with a tolerance of the 0.5%. Obviously it takes much
            longer.
        radius_variance (float): The radius of the disk is allowed to vary
            between r and r*var. If this parameter is 1 the sampling is the
            same as the Poisson-disk Sampling.

    """ Compute the polyline representing a planar section (a slice) of a mesh.

    If the resulting polyline is closed the result can be filled with a
    triangular mesh representing the section.

    Args:
        script: the mlx.FilterScript object or script filename to write
            the filter to.
        axis (str): The slicing plane is perpendicular to this axis. Accepted
            values are 'x', 'y', or 'z'; any other input will be interpreted
            as a custom axis (although using 'custom' is recommended
            for clarity). Upper or lowercase values are accepted.
        offset (float): Specify an offset of the cross-plane. The offset
            corresponds to the distance along 'axis' from the point specified
            in 'planeref'.
        surface (bool): If True, in addition to a layer with the section
            polyline, also a layer with a triangulated version of the section
            polyline will be created. This only works if the section polyline
            is closed.
        custom_axis (3 component list or tuple): Specify a custom axis as
            a 3 component vector (x, y, z); this is ignored unless 'axis' is
            set  to 'custom'.
        planeref (int): Specify the reference from which the planes are
            shifted. Valid values are:
            0 - Bounding box center
            1 - Bounding box min
            2 - Origin (default)

    Layer stack:

    """ Color mesh vertices in a repeating sinusiodal rainbow pattern

    Sine wave follows the following equation for each color channel (RGBA):
    channel = sin(freq*increment + phase)*amplitude + center

    Args:
        script: the FilterScript object or script filename to write
            the filter to.
        direction (str) = the direction that the sine wave will travel; this
            and the start_pt determine the 'increment' of the sine function.
            Valid values are:
            'sphere' - radiate sine wave outward from start_pt (default)
            'x' - sine wave travels along the X axis
            'y' - sine wave travels along the Y axis
            'z' - sine wave travels along the Z axis
            or define the increment directly using a muparser function, e.g.
                '2x + y'. In this case start_pt will not be used; include it in
                the function directly.
    start_pt (3 coordinate tuple or list): start point of the sine wave. For a
        sphere this is the center of the sphere.
    amplitude (float [0, 255], single value or 4 term tuple or list): amplitude
        of the sine wave, with range between 0-255. If a single value is
        specified it will be used for all channels, otherwise specify each
        channel individually.
    center (float [0, 255], single value or 4 term tuple or list): center
        of the sine wave, with range between 0-255. If a single value is
        specified it will be used for all channels, otherwise specify each
        channel individually.
    freq (float, single value or 4 term tuple or list): frequency of the sine
        wave. If a single value is specified it will be used for all channels,
        otherwise specifiy each channel individually.
    phase (float [0, 360], single value or 4 term tuple or list): phase
        of the sine wave in degrees, with range between 0-360. If a single
        value is specified it will be used for all channels, otherwise specify
        each channel individually.
    alpha (bool): if False the alpha channel will be set to 255 (full opacity).
