mesh_conway_snub

compas.datastructures.mesh_conway_snub(mesh)[source]

Generates the snub mesh from a seed mesh.

Parameters

mesh (Mesh) – A seed mesh

Returns

mesh – The gyro mesh.

Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_polyhedron(6)
>>> snub = mesh_conway_snub(mesh)
>>> snub.number_of_vertices() == 2 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> snub.number_of_edges() == 5 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> snub.number_of_faces() == mesh.number_of_vertices() + mesh.number_of_faces() + 2 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
