Could you provide some practical examples (input/output files + command line) so that we can start from this?

The only place for official documentation is given in the second reference. This documentation will be enriched with new content with the development of the software.

Very interesting project!
Is there any idea to add it to the LDRAW all-in one installer?

About this topic, it would be very useful to provide, in the first post, some examples with image and related ldr file, so that users can see in a glance what this software can do.
With a presentation page, this topic can be added in the section index.
