Detailed Description

template<typename T, std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>
class OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >

Half-edge mesh class.

A half-edge mesh represents each edge as two oppositely oriented half-edges. There is one half-edge for each face containing the original edge. For example, if two faces share the edge AB, this will result in two half-edges, AB and BA. If an edge BC lies on the mesh border (i.e. it is only included in a single face), there will one be a single half-edge created. This data structure makes it possible to easily traverse the edges and faces adjacent to a vertex (the "wheel"), as well as to traverse the edges of each face.

For more information, see Chapter 12.1 in "Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, Fourth edition", Marschner and Shirley (2015) [2].

inline

Build a list of all boundary edges.

Returns a list of lists of edges which lie on one of this mesh's boundaries. One edge list is returned for each unique boundary. Meshes with a single connected component may still have multiple boundaries (i.e. if the mesh has holes).

auto OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::clone ( ) const -> Pointer

inline

Clone this mesh.

Returns a new mesh with the same structure as this mesh but not sharing vertex, face, or edge elements.

◆ clone_face_()

inlineprivate

Extra steps which need to be run before insert_face_ when cloning a face from an existing mesh

Parameters

◆ insert_face() [1/2]

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

template<typename... Args>

auto OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::insert_face ( Args... args ) -> std::size_t

inline

Insert a new face from an ordered list of Vertex indices.

Accepts vertex indices as individual variadic arguments.

Note: This function does not update the mesh boundary connections. Call update_boundary() after all faces have been inserted, or use insert_faces() to insert faces and update the boundary in one step.

Exceptions

std::out_of_range	If one of the vertex indices is out of bounds.
MeshException	If one of provided edges is already paired. This indicates that the mesh is not 2-manifold.

◆ insert_face() [2/2]

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

template<class Vector >

auto OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::insert_face ( Vector && vector ) -> std::size_t

inline

Insert a face from an ordered list of Vertex indices.

Accepts an iterable supporting range-based for loops.

Note: This function does not update the mesh boundary connections. Call update_boundary() after all faces have been inserted, or use insert_faces() to insert faces and update the boundary in one step.

Parameters

vector List of vertex indices

Exceptions

std::out_of_range	If one of the vertex indices is out of bounds.
MeshException	(1) If one of provided edges is already paired. This indicates that the mesh is not 2-manifold. (2) If an edge has zero length. This means the face has zero area. (3) If an edge's interior angle is NaN or Inf.

Get the number of connected components.

A connected component is a set of continuous, adjacent faces. If you want to get the list of connected components, use connected_components().

See also: connected_components()

◆ split_edge()

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

void OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::split_edge ( const EdgePtr & edge )

inline

Split an edge in order to introduce a new boundary.

Disconnects a single, paired half-edge (i.e. a single edge between two connected triangles) into two, unpaired half-edges, creating a "hole" in the mesh's connectivity graph. Useful when you want to introduce a boundary, or tear, into a mesh to improve parameterization.

Note: If the given edge intersects with an existing boundary, one or both of your endpoint vertices will be duplicated. Be sure to take this into account when converting the parameterized mesh to your (per-wedge) UV map.

◆ split_path() [1/2]

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

void OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::split_path ( const std::vector< EdgePtr > & path )

inline

Split a list of edges (path) to form a new boundary.

Note: This function was designed to split a list of continuous edges forming a path on the surface of the mesh. Providing otherwise can lead to undefined behavior.

See also: split_edge()

◆ split_path() [2/2]

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

void OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::split_path ( const std::vector< std::size_t > & path )

inline

Split a list of edges (path) to form a new boundary.

This overload accepts a list of vertex indices forming a continuous path.

Note: This function was designed to split a list of continuous edges forming a path on the surface of the mesh. Providing otherwise can lead to undefined behavior.

See also: split_edge()

◆ update_boundary()

template<typename T , std::size_t Dim = 3, typename VertexTraits = traits::DefaultVertexTraits<T>, typename EdgeTraits = traits::DefaultEdgeTraits<T>, typename FaceTraits = traits::DefaultFaceTraits<T>>

void OpenABF::HalfEdgeMesh< T, Dim, VertexTraits, EdgeTraits, FaceTraits >::update_boundary ( )

inline

Update the mesh boundary connections.

Because the mesh boundary may become temporarily non-traversable while the mesh is being constructed, the mesh boundary connections should only be updated after all faces have been added to the mesh. Call this function after inserting faces with insert_face() or use insert_faces() to construct the mesh and update the boundary in one step.
