Examples

>>> from compas.datastructures import Mesh
>>> mesh = Mesh.from_polyhedron(6)
>>> needle = mesh_conway_needle(mesh)
>>> needle.number_of_vertices() == mesh.number_of_vertices() + mesh.number_of_faces()
True
>>> needle.number_of_edges() == 3 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
>>> needle.number_of_faces() == 2 * mesh.number_of_edges()
True
