TetGenGetFaces

TetGenGetFaces[expr]

gets the faces in a TetGen expression.

Details and Options

  • To use TetGenGetFaces, you first need to load it using Needs["TetGenLink`"].
  • It is often useful to work with the faces of a tetrahedralization when making plots.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

First, load the package:

Wolfram Language code: Needs["TetGenLink`"]

This creates an instance of a TetGen expression:

Wolfram Language code: inst = TetGenCreate[]

This finds a sample data file in the TetGenLink installation:

Wolfram Language code: dataFile = FileNameJoin[{$TetGenInstallationDirectory, "ExampleData", "bar.poly"}];

This loads the data file into the TetGen instance:

Wolfram Language code: TetGenImport[ dataFile, inst]

This carries out the tetrahedralization, returning a new TetGen instance:

Wolfram Language code: inst1 = TetGenTetrahedralize[ inst, "pq1.414a0.1"]

This gets the faces from the tetrahedralization:

Wolfram Language code: faces = TetGenGetFaces[ inst1];

This gets the points from the tetrahedralization:

Wolfram Language code: pts = TetGenGetPoints[ inst1];

This plots the faces:

Wolfram Language code: Graphics3D[GraphicsComplex[pts, Polygon[faces]]]
