vcg_average_edge_length: Compute the average edge length of a triangular mesh

Description

Computes the average length of all face edges (each edge is counted once per incident face, so edges shared by two faces are counted twice). Useful as a scale-aware reference length, e.g. to derive a vertex-merge tolerance such as the one used internally by vcg_fix_defects.

Usage

vcg_average_edge_length(mesh)

Value

A single numeric value: the average edge length, in mesh units.

Arguments

mesh

triangular mesh of class 'mesh3d'.

Examples

if (is_not_cran()) {

  sphere <- vcg_sphere()
  vcg_average_edge_length(sphere)

}
