Up-sample a triangular mesh by adding a vertex at each edge or face center.

Usage

vcg_subdivision(mesh, method = c("edge", "barycenter"))

Arguments

mesh

triangular mesh stored as object of class 'mesh3d'.

method

either 'edge' (default) to add new mid-point vertices to edge, or 'barycenter' to add new vertices at face 'Bary' centers.

Value

An object of class "mesh3d"

Coercing Surface Inputs

The surface objects are converted to 'mesh3d' object before applying further calculations.

When surface is a surface ieegio object, the returned mesh3d$vb contains vertices that have been left-multiplied by surface$geometry$transforms[[1]] (the first transform stored in the geometry, typically the ScannerAnat or voxel-to-world transform).

Breaking change: Earlier versions (before 0.2.6) of ravetools returned the raw surface$geometry$vertices without applying any transform, so downstream code often multiplied by surface$geometry$transforms[[1]] (or an equivalent) manually before working in world space. Such code will now double apply the transform and produce incorrect coordinates. If you previously applied a transform from surface$geometry$transforms by hand after calling a ravetools mesh function on an 'ieegio_surface', remove that manual step.

Surfaces with an empty or missing geometry$transforms list (for example, surfaces produced by ieegio's volume_to_surface, which stores an identity transform) are unaffected.

If geometry$transforms contains multiple transforms targeting different coordinate spaces, only the first one is used. Callers that need a specific target space should select and apply that transform themselves before calling ravetools mesh functions.

Examples


mesh <- plane_geometry()

# default
mesh_edge <- vcg_subdivision(mesh, "edge")

# barycenter
mesh_face <- vcg_subdivision(mesh, "barycenter")

if(is_not_cran()) {

  rgl_view({
    rgl_call("wire3d", mesh, col = 1)
    rgl_call("wire3d", mesh_edge, col = 2)
    rgl_call("wire3d", mesh_face, col = 3)
  })
