Input/Output

The function signatures of the bindings are similar to the original libigl functions. Meshes are represented by a tuple containing a list/array of vertices and a list/array of faces. Most functions require the input mesh to be a triangle mesh.

import compas_libigl as igl
from compas.datastructures import Mesh

# Load a mesh
mesh = Mesh.from_off(igl.get_beetle())

# Convert to format expected by libigl functions
V, F = mesh.to_vertices_and_faces()

# Call libigl function
result = igl.trimesh_gaussian_curvature(V, F)

Common Data Types

• Vertices (V): nx3 list/array of vertex coordinates

• Faces (F): mx3 list/array of vertex indices for triangle meshes

• Scalar fields: nx1 list/array of values per vertex

• Vector fields: nx3 list/array of vectors per vertex
