Detailed Description

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>
class stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >

convenience mesh class which makes accessing the stl data more easy

Member Function Documentation

num_solids()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

size_t stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::num_solids ( ) const

inline

returns the number of solids of the mesh

solids can be seen as a partitioning of the triangles of a mesh. By iterating consecutively from the index of the first triangle of a solid si (using solid_tris_begin(si)) to the index of the last triangle of a solid (using solid_tris_end(...)-1), one visits all triangles of the solid si.

raw_coords()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

const TNumber* stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::raw_coords ( ) const

inline

returns a pointer to the coordinate array, containing num_vrts()*3 entries.

Storage layout: x0,y0,z0,x1,y1,z1,...

Returns

pointer to a contiguous array of numbers, or NULL if no coords exist.

raw_normals()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

const TNumber* stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::raw_normals ( ) const

inline

returns a pointer to the normal array, containing num_tris()*3 entries.

Storage layout: nx0,ny0,nz0,nx1,ny1,nz1,...

Returns

pointer to a contiguous array of numbers, or NULL if no normals exist.

raw_solids()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

const TIndex* stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::raw_solids ( ) const

inline

returns a pointer to the solids array, containing num_solids()+1 entries.

Storage layout: s0begin, s0end/s1begin, s1end/s2begin, ..., sNend

Returns

pointer to a contiguous array of indices, or NULL if no solids exist.

raw_tris()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

const TIndex* stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::raw_tris ( ) const

inline

returns a pointer to the triangle array, containing num_tris()*3 entries.

Storage layout: t0c0,t0c1,t0c2,t1c0,t1c1,t1c2,...

Returns

pointer to a contiguous array of indices, or NULL if no tris exist.

tri_corner_coords()

template<class TNumber = float, class TIndex = unsigned int>

const TNumber* stl_reader::StlMesh< TNumber, TIndex >::tri_corner_coords ( const size_t  ti, const size_t  ci  ) const

inline

returns an array of 3 floating point values, one for each coordinate of the specified corner of the specified tri.

Note

same result as calling on a StlMesh mesh:

mesh.vrt_coords (mesh.tri_corner_ind (itri, icorner))
