as.tmesh3d: Convert object to a triangular mesh

Description

Converts the quads in a mesh version of an object to triangles by splitting them up. Optionally drops any point or segment components.

Usage

as.tmesh3d(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
as.tmesh3d(x, drop = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for mesh3d
as.tmesh3d(x, drop = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

An object from which to create a triangular mesh object.

drop

If TRUE, drop any point or segment components.

…

Ignored in the mesh3d method, passed to as.mesh3d in the default method.

Value

A "mesh3d" object containing no quads. If drop = TRUE, it will only contain triangles.

Details

The default method simply calls as.mesh3d(x, ...) and passes the result to the "mesh3d" method.

See Also

as.triangles3d to get just the coordinates.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x <- cuboctahedron3d()
x             # has quads and triangles
as.tmesh3d(x) # has only triangles
# }
