vcgGeodist: Compute pseudo-geodesic distance between two points on a mesh

In Rvcg: Manipulations of Triangular Meshes Based on the 'VCGLIB' API

Compute pseudo-geodesic distance between two points on a mesh

Description

Compute pseudo-geodesic distance between two points on a mesh

Usage

vcgGeodist(x, pt1, pt2)

Arguments

x	triangular mesh of class mesh3d
pt1	3D coordinate on mesh or index of vertex
pt2	3D coordinate on mesh or index of vertex

Value

returns the geodesic distance between pt1 and pt2.

Note

Make sure to have a clean manifold mesh. Note that this computes the length of the pseudo-geodesic path (following the edges) between the two vertices closest to these points.

Examples

data(humface)
pt1 <- humface.lm[1,]
pt2 <- humface.lm[5,]
vcgGeodist(humface,pt1,pt2)
