class Mesh : public shapes::Shape 

Definition of a triangle mesh By convention the “center” of the shape is at the origin. For a mesh this implies that the AABB of the mesh is centered at the origin. Some methods may not work with arbitrary meshes whose AABB is not centered at the origin. Padding is not applied to vertices plainly coordinate-wise, but instead the padding value is added to the length of the direction vector between centroid and each vertex.

Public Functions

Mesh()

Mesh(unsigned int v_count, unsigned int t_count)

~Mesh() override

void scale(double scaleX, double scaleY, double scaleZ)

Scale this shape by a non-uniform factor.

Parameters:

scaleX – Scale in x-dimension.
scaleY – Scale in y-dimension.
scaleZ – Scale in z-dimension.

void padd(double paddX, double paddY, double paddZ)

Add non-uniform padding to this shape.

Note

Padding is not applied to vertices plainly coordinate-wise, but instead the padding value is added to the length of the direction vector between centroid and each vertex.

Parameters:

paddX – Padding in x-dimension (in meters).
paddY – Padding in y-dimension (in meters).
paddZ – Padding in z-dimension (in meters).

void scaleAndPadd(double scaleX, double scaleY, double scaleZ, double paddX, double paddY, double paddZ)

Scale this shape by a non-uniform factor and then add non-uniform padding.

Note

Padding is not applied to vertices plainly coordinate-wise, but instead the padding value is added to the length of the direction vector between centroid and each vertex.

Parameters:

scaleX – Scale in x-dimension.
scaleY – Scale in y-dimension.
scaleZ – Scale in z-dimension.
paddX – Padding in x-dimension (in meters).
paddY – Padding in y-dimension (in meters).
paddZ – Padding in z-dimension (in meters).

virtual void scaleAndPadd(double scale, double padd) override: Uniformly scale and padd this shape.

virtual Mesh *clone() const override: Create a copy of this shape.

virtual void print(std::ostream &out = std::cout) const override: Print information about this shape.

void computeTriangleNormals(): Compute the normals of each triangle from its vertices via cross product.

void computeVertexNormals()

Compute vertex normals by averaging from adjacent triangle normals.

Calls computeTriangleNormals() if needed.

void mergeVertices(double threshold): Merge vertices that are very close to each other, up to a threshold.

void padd(double padding): Add uniform padding to this shape.

void scale(double scale): Uniformly scale this shape by a factor.
