vcgCurve: calculate curvature of a triangular mesh

Description

calculate curvature of faces/vertices of a triangular mesh using various methods.

Usage

vcgCurve(mesh)

Arguments

mesh

triangular mesh (object of class 'mesh3d')

Value

• gaussvb
  per vertex gaussian curvature
• meanvb
  per vertex mean curvature
• RMSvb
  per vertex RMS curvature
• gaussitmax
  per face maximum gaussian curvature of adjacent vertices
• borderit
  per face information if it is on the mesh's border (0=FALSE, 1=TRUE)
• bordervb
  per vertex information if it is on the mesh's border (0=FALSE, 1=TRUE)
• meanitmax
  per face maximum mean curvature of adjacent vertices

Examples

data(humface)
curv <- vcgCurve(humface)
##visualise per vertex mean curvature
require(Morpho)
meshDist(humface,distvec=curv$meanvb,from=-0.2,to=0.2,tol=0.01)
