The Polygon Mesh Processing Library is a modern C++ open-source library for processing and visualizing polygon surface meshes. Its main features are:
- An efficient and easy-to-use mesh data structure
- Standard algorithms such as decimation, remeshing, subdivision, or smoothing
- Ready-to-use visualization tools
- Seamless cross-compilation to JavaScript (demo)
Get Started
Clone the repository:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pmp-library/pmp-library.git
Configure and build:
cd pmp-library && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
Run the mesh processing app:
./mpview ../external/pmp-data/off/bunny.off
Build your own tool:
#include <pmp/SurfaceMesh.h>
int main(void)
{
}
A halfedge data structure for polygonal meshes.
