Member Function Documentation

cone()

SurfaceMesh cone ( size_t  n_subdivisions = 30, float  radius = 1.0, float  height = 2.5  )

static

Generate a cone mesh.

Generates a polygonal mesh of a cone. The circular base lies in the x-y-plane and the tip points in positive z-direction.

Parameters

n_subdivisions	Number of subdivisions of the base circle. Needs to be >= 3. Default: 30.
radius	Radius of the base circle. Default: 1.
height	Height of the the cone. Default: 2.5.

cylinder()

SurfaceMesh cylinder ( size_t  n_subdivisions = 30, float  radius = 1.0, float  height = 2.5  )

static

Generate a cylinder mesh.

Generates a polygonal mesh of a cylinder. The cylinder is oriented in z-direction.

Parameters

n_subdivisions	Number of subdivisions of the cylinder. Needs to be >= 3. Default: 30.
radius	Radius of the cylinder. Default: 1.
height	Height of the cylinder. Default: 2.5.

icosphere()

SurfaceMesh icosphere ( size_t  n_subdivisions = 3 )

static

Generate icosphere refined by n_subdivisions .

Uses Loop subdivision to refine the initial icosahedron.
