checkFaceOrientation {Rvcg} | R Documentation |
check the orientation of a mesh
Description
check the orientation of a mesh assuming that expansion along normals increases centroid size
Usage
checkFaceOrientation(x, offset = NULL)
Arguments
x |
mesh of class mesh3d |
offset |
numeric: amount to offset the mesh along the vertex normals. If NULL a reasonable value will be estimated. |
Details
assuming that a correctly (i.e outward) oriented mesh increases its centroid size when 'growing' outwards, this function tests whether this is the case.
Value
returns TRUE if mesh is oriented correctly and FALSE otherwise
Examples
data(dummyhead)
## now we invert faces inwards
checkFaceOrientation(dummyhead.mesh)
if (requireNamespace("Morpho", quietly = TRUE)) {
dummyinward <- Morpho::invertFaces(dummyhead.mesh)
checkFaceOrientation(dummyinward)
}
