PolygonMesh.convexHull Method

This functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

Generates a convex hull from this polygon mesh. The convex hull is returned as an array of node positions and triangle indices, which can be used by MeshBodies.addByTriangleMeshData to create a new mesh.

Syntax

# Uses no optional arguments.
(returnValue, nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices) = polygonMesh_var.convexHull()

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = polygonMesh_var.convexHull(nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices, transform)

#include <Fusion/MeshData/PolygonMesh.h

// Uses no optional arguments.

// Declare the output arguments.
double[] nodeCoordinates;
integer[] triangleNodeIndices;
boolean returnValue = polygonMesh_var->convexHull(nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices);

// Uses optional arguments. 

// Declare the output arguments.
Matrix3D transform;

// Call the function.
Ptr<PolygonMesh> returnValue = polygonMesh_var->convexHull(nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices, transform);

// Uses no optional arguments.
[returnValue, nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices] = polygonMesh_var.convexHull();

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = polygonMesh_var.convexHull(nodeCoordinates, triangleNodeIndices, transform);
