Attributes utilities

Various attribute processing utilities. More...

Attribute remapping
Mapping attributes between different element types. When mapping indexed to value attributes, values are duplicated for each corner, since otherwise the mapping corner -> value would be lost. When mapping value to indexed attributes, the size of the value buffer must be equal to the number of corners. The values are not deduplicated in the new indexed attribute.
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
AttributeId	map_attribute (SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, AttributeId id, std::string_view new_name, AttributeElement new_element)
	Map attribute values to a new attribute with a different element type.
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
AttributeId	map_attribute (SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, std::string_view old_name, std::string_view new_name, AttributeElement new_element)
	Map attribute values to a new attribute with a different element type.
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
AttributeId	map_attribute_in_place (SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, AttributeId id, AttributeElement new_element)
	Map attribute values to a different element type.
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
AttributeId	map_attribute_in_place (SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, std::string_view name, AttributeElement new_element)
	Map attribute values to a different element type.

Index buffer unification
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index >	unify_index_buffer (const SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, const std::vector< AttributeId > &attribute_ids={})
	Unify index buffers of the input mesh for all attributes specified in attribute_ids.
template<typename Scalar, typename Index>
SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index >	unify_named_index_buffer (const SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &mesh, const std::vector< std::string_view > &attribute_names)
	This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Function Documentation

map_attribute() [1/2]

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

AttributeId map_attribute	(	SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		AttributeId	id,
		std::string_view	new_name,
		AttributeElement	new_element )

#include <lagrange/map_attribute.h>

Map attribute values to a new attribute with a different element type.

If the input attribute is a value attribute, its number of rows must match the number of target mesh element (or number of corners if the target is an indexed attribute).

Parameters

[in,out]	mesh	Input mesh. Modified to add a new attribute.
[in]	id	Id of the input attribute to map.
[in]	new_name	Name of the new mesh attribute to create.
[in]	new_element	New attribute element type.

Template Parameters

Scalar	Mesh scalar type.
Index	Mesh index type.

Returns

Id of the newly created attribute.

map_attribute() [2/2]

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

AttributeId map_attribute	(	SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		std::string_view	old_name,
		std::string_view	new_name,
		AttributeElement	new_element )

#include <lagrange/map_attribute.h>

Map attribute values to a new attribute with a different element type.

If the input attribute is a value attribute, its number of rows must match the number of target mesh element (or number of corners if the target is an indexed attribute).

Parameters

[in,out]	mesh	Input mesh. Modified to add a new attribute.
[in]	old_name	Name of the input attribute to map.
[in]	new_name	Name of the new mesh attribute to create.
[in]	new_element	New attribute element type.

Template Parameters

Scalar	Mesh scalar type.
Index	Mesh index type.

Returns

Id of the newly created attribute.

map_attribute_in_place() [1/2]

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

AttributeId map_attribute_in_place	(	SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		AttributeId	id,
		AttributeElement	new_element )

#include <lagrange/map_attribute.h>

Map attribute values to a different element type.

A new attribute with the new element type is created with the same name as the old one, and the old one is removed. If the input attribute is a value attribute, its number of rows must match the number of target mesh element (or number of corners if the target is an indexed attribute).

Todo

To be truly in-place ideally the new AttributeId should be the same as the old one.

Parameters

[in,out]	mesh	Input mesh. Modified to add a new attribute.
[in]	id	Id of the input attribute to map.
[in]	new_element	New attribute element type.

Template Parameters

Scalar	Mesh scalar type.
Index	Mesh index type.

Returns

Id of the modified attribute.

map_attribute_in_place() [2/2]

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

AttributeId map_attribute_in_place	(	SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		std::string_view	name,
		AttributeElement	new_element )

#include <lagrange/map_attribute.h>

Map attribute values to a different element type.

A new attribute with the new element type is created with the same name as the old one, and the old one is removed. If the input attribute is a value attribute, its number of rows must match the number of target mesh element (or number of corners if the target is an indexed attribute).

Todo

To be truly in-place ideally the new AttributeId should be the same as the old one.

Parameters

[in,out]	mesh	Input mesh. Modified to add a new attribute.
[in]	name	Name of the attribute to map.
[in]	new_element	New attribute element type.

Template Parameters

Scalar	Mesh scalar type.
Index	Mesh index type.

Returns

Id of the modified attribute.

unify_index_buffer()

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > unify_index_buffer	(	const SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		const std::vector< AttributeId > &	attribute_ids = {} )

#include <lagrange/unify_index_buffer.h>

Unify index buffers of the input mesh for all attributes specified in attribute_ids.

Postcondition

The attributes specified by attribute_id will become vertex attributes in the output mesh under the same names.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The input polygonal mesh.
[in]	attribute_ids	The input indexed attribute ids to be unified. If empty, all indexed attributes are unified.

Returns

A polygonal mesh with unified indices for position and attributes specified in attribute_ids.

unify_named_index_buffer

unify_named_index_buffer()

template<typename Scalar, typename Index>

SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > unify_named_index_buffer	(	const SurfaceMesh< Scalar, Index > &	mesh,
		const std::vector< std::string_view > &	attribute_names )

#include <lagrange/unify_index_buffer.h>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

[in]	mesh	The input polygonal mesh.
[in]	attribute_names	The input indexed attribute names to be unified. If empty, all indexed attributes are unified.

Returns

A polygonal mesh with unified indices for position and attributes specified in attribute_names.
