Description

Import 3D surface mesh files

Usage

file2mesh(filename, clean = TRUE, readcol = FALSE)
obj2mesh(filename, adnormals = TRUE)
ply2mesh(filename, adnormals = TRUE, readnormals = FALSE, readcol = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE)

Arguments

filename

character: path to file

clean

Logical: Delete dumpfiles.

readcol

Logical: Import vertex colors (if available).

adnormals

Logical: Import vertex normals (if available), although no face information is present.

silent

logical: suppress messages.

Value

mesh

list of class mesh3d - see rgl manual for further details, or a matrix containing vertex information or a list containing vertex and normal information

Details

imports 3D mesh files and store them as an R .object of class mesh3d

Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(nose)
mesh2ply(shortnose.mesh)
mesh <- ply2mesh("shortnose.mesh.ply")

mesh2obj(shortnose.mesh)
mesh2 <- obj2mesh("shortnose.mesh.obj")
# }
