Function Documentation

read()

void read	(	SurfaceMesh &	mesh,
		const std::filesystem::path &	file )

Read into mesh from file.

File extension determines file type. Supported formats and vertex attributes (a=ASCII, b=binary):

Format	ASCII	Binary	Normals	Colors	Texcoords
OBJ	yes	no	a	no	no
OFF	yes	yes	a / b	a	a / b
PMP	no	yes	no	no	no
STL	yes	yes	no	no	no

In addition, the OBJ and PMP formats support reading per-halfedge texture coordinates.

write()

void write	(	const SurfaceMesh &	mesh,
		const std::filesystem::path &	file,
		const IOFlags &	flags = IOFlags() )

Write mesh to file controlled by flags.

File extension determines file type. Supported formats and vertex attributes (a=ASCII, b=binary):

Format	ASCII	Binary	Normals	Colors	Texcoords
OBJ	yes	no	a	no	no
OFF	yes	yes	a	a	a
PMP	no	yes	no	no	no
STL	yes	yes	no	no	no

In addition, the OBJ and PMP formats support writing per-halfedge texture coordinates.
