class pymeshfix.PyTMesh¶

Cython class to interface with C++ Basic_TMesh object

MeshFix V2.0 - by Marco Attene If MeshFix is used for research purposes, please cite the following paper:

Examples

Create an instance of TMesh

>>> from pymeshfix import _meshfix
>>> tin = _meshfix.PyTMesh()

Load a file

>>> tin.LoadFile(infile)

Load from arrays

>>> tin.load_array(v, f)

Attempt to join nearby components

>>> tin.join_closest_components()

Fill holes

>>> tin.fill_small_boundaries()
>>> print('There are {:d} boundaries'.format(tin.boundaries())

Clean and remove self intersections

>>> tin.clean(max_iters=10, inner_loops=3)

Check mesh for holes again

>>> print('There are {:d} boundaries'.format(tin.boundaries())

Output mesh

>>> tin.save_file(outfile)

return numpy arrays

>>> vclean, fclean = tin.return_arrays()

Methods

`PyTMesh.boundaries`	Get the number of boundary loops of the triangle mesh
`PyTMesh.clean`	Remove self-intersections and degenerate faces.
`PyTMesh.fill_small_boundaries`	Fill small boundaries.
`PyTMesh.join_closest_components`	Attempts to join nearby open components.
`PyTMesh.load_array`	Loads points from numpy verticies and faces arrays The loader automatically reconstructs a manifold triangle connectivity
`PyTMesh.load_file`	Loads mesh from file
`PyTMesh.remove_smallest_components`	Remove smallest components
`PyTMesh.return_arrays`	Return vertex and face arrays of the mesh.
`PyTMesh.save_file`	Save cleaned mesh to file
`PyTMesh.select_intersecting_triangles`	Selects all intersecting triangles.

Attributes

Number of points in the mesh
