Smoother Tools

Overview

The OpenMesh library provides tools for smoothing Triangle- and Polymeshes

  1. Smoother:
    1. OpenMesh::Smoother::SmootherT
    2. OpenMesh::Smoother::LaplaceSmootherT
    3. OpenMesh::Smoother::JacobiLaplaceSmootherT

Usage

The smoothers directly work on an OpenMesh. The following example shows how to use them:

// Initialize smoother with input mesh
smoother.initialize( Tangential_and_Normal, //Smooth direction
C0) //Continuity
// Execute 3 smooth steps
smoother.smooth(3);

Options

Continuity

  • C0: shape is continuous, but not the tangent
  • C1: shape and tangent are continuous
  • C2: preserves curvature

Component

  • Tangential: Smooth in tangential direction
  • Normal: Smooth in normal direction
  • Tangential_and_Normal: Smooth in tangential and normal direction

Local Error

By default, this option is disabled. You can set local max. local errors (absolute or relative) via following functions:
