generate_tetrahedron: Generate a tetrahedron mesh

In scimesh: Headless Publication-Quality 3D Mesh Rendering Engine

Generate a tetrahedron mesh

Description

Creates a tetrahedron (triangular pyramid) from four arbitrary 3D points.

Usage

generate_tetrahedron(p0, p1, p2, p3, color = c(0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1))

Arguments

p0	Length-3 vector: first vertex.
p1	Length-3 vector: second vertex.
p2	Length-3 vector: third vertex.
p3	Length-3 vector: fourth vertex.
color	Length-4 RGBA colour.

Value

A mesh descriptor list.

Examples

mesh <- generate_tetrahedron(
  c(0, 0, 0), c(1, 0, 0),
  c(0.5, 1, 0), c(0.5, 0.5, 1))
nrow(mesh$vertices)
