pack-mesh

pack a simplicial-complex mesh into a binary format

example

pack

var pack = require('pack-mesh/pack')
var fs = require('fs')
var mesh = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2],'utf8'))
process.stdout.write(Buffer.from(pack(mesh)))

unpack

var unpack = require('pack-mesh/unpack')
var fs = require('fs')
var buf = fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2])
console.log(JSON.stringify(unpack(buf)))

usage

usage: pack-mesh FILE {OPTIONS}

  -t --type    Set a vertex precision: s8 s16 f32 f64
  -u --unpack  Turn binary data into simplicial complex json

If FILE is not provided or is "-", read from stdin.

api

var pack = require('pack-mesh/pack')
var unpack = require('pack-mesh/unpack')

var u8 = pack(mesh, opts)

Return a Uint8Array u8 given a simplicial complex mesh.

Optionally set:

• opts.type - precision per vertex: one of 'f32', 'f64', 's8', 's16'

Simplicial complexes have:

• mesh.positions - array of vertex coordinates
• mesh.cells - array of position indicies describing a triangle, edge, or point

var mesh = unpack(buf)

Return a simplicial complex mesh given an array buffer buf.

install

To get the library:

npm install pack-mesh

To get the command-line program:

npm install -g pack-mesh
