ReadMesh

Description

ReadMesh is a Python class providing functionalities to read mesh data from files. It offers methods to fetch vertices, edges, faces, and half-edges, and also to get their count.

Constructors

• ReadMesh(faces_file_path: str, vertices_file_path: str): Constructor that initializes the reader using paths to face and vertex files. Example: .. code-block:: python

  reader = ReadMesh(“path_to_faces_file”, “path_to_vertices_file”)

• ReadMesh(paths_map: Dict[str, str]): Constructor that accepts a dictionary with keys ‘faces’ and ‘vertices’ mapped to their respective file paths. Example: .. code-block:: python

  reader = ReadMesh({“faces”: “path_to_faces_file”, “vertices”: “path_to_vertices_file”})

Methods

• clear(): Clears vectors used in reading. Note that this method clears the vectors in the ReadMesh class but not the mesh itself.

• getVertices() -> List[Vertex]: Retrieves the vertices. Returns a reference to the vertices.

• getEdges() -> List[Edge]: Retrieves the edges. Returns a reference to the edges.

• getFaces() -> List[Face]: Retrieves the faces. Returns a reference to the faces.

• getHalfedges() -> List[HalfEdge]: Retrieves the half-edges. Returns a reference to the half-edges.

• getNumVertices() -> int: Returns the number of vertices in the mesh.

• getNumEdges() -> int: Returns the number of edges in the mesh.

• getNumFaces() -> int: Returns the number of faces in the mesh.

• getNumHalfedges() -> int: Returns the number of
