Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::combineIndexedAttributes(const Containers::ArrayView<const Containers::Reference<const Trade::MeshData>> data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Combine.h>

Combine differently indexed attributes into a single mesh.

Assuming each data contains only unique vertex data, creates an indexed mesh that contains all attributes from data combined, with duplicate vertices removed. For example, when you have a position and a normal array, each indexed with separate indices like this:

{pA, pB, pC, pD, pE, pF}        // positions
{nA, nB, nC, nD, nE, nF, nG}    // normals

{0, 2, 5, 0, 0, 1, 3, 2, 2}     // position indices
{1, 3, 4, 1, 4, 6, 1, 3, 1}     // normal indices

Then the first triangle in the mesh is defined as {pA, nB}, {pC, nD}, {pF, nE}. When combined together using this function, the resulting mesh stays the same but there's just one index array, indexing both positions and normals:

{{pA, nB}, {pC, nD}, {pF, nE}, {pA, nE}, {pB, nG}, {pD, nB}, {pC, nB}}
                                // unique pairs of positions and normals

{0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6}     // unified indices

The function preserves all attribute data including repeated or custom attributes. The resulting mesh is interleaved, with all attributes packed tightly together. If you need to add specific padding for alignment preservation, pass the result to interleave() and specify the paddings between attributes manually. Similarly, for simplicity the resulting mesh has always MeshIndexType::UnsignedInt — use compressIndices(const Trade::MeshData&, MeshIndexType) if you want to have it compressed to a smaller type.

Vertex data unreferenced by the index buffers are discarded. This means the function can be also called with just a single argument to compact a mesh with a sparse index buffer.

Expects that data is non-empty and all data have the same primitive and index count. All inputs have to be indexed, although the particular MeshIndexType doesn't matter. For non-indexed attributes combining can be done much more efficiently using duplicate(const Trade::MeshData&, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>), alternatively you can turn a non-indexed attribute to an indexed one first using removeDuplicatesInPlace() and then call this function.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::combineFaceAttributes(const Trade::MeshData& mesh, const Trade::MeshData& faceAttributes) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Combine.h>

Combine per-face attributes into an existing mesh.

The resulting mesh will have all per-face attributes turned into per-vertex attributes, leaving only unique combinations and adjusting the index buffer accordingly. The resulting mesh has the same amount of indices, but likely more vertices.

Expects that mesh is indexed MeshPrimitive::Triangles and faceAttributes is MeshPrimitive::Faces, with face element count of the latter corresponding to triangle count of the former. If faceAttributes is indexed, it's assumed to have the data unique; if it's not indexed, it's first made unique using removeDuplicates() and in that case it's expected to be interleaved.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::combineFaceAttributes(const Trade::MeshData& mesh, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData> faceAttributes) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Combine.h>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Same as above with faceAttributes wrapped in a Trade::MeshData with MeshPrimitive::Faces and no index buffer. Same as in the above case, faceAttributes is expected to be interleaved. Note that offset-only Trade::MeshAttributeData instances are not supported in the faceAttributes array.

std::vector<UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::combineIndexArrays(const std::vector<std::reference_wrapper<std::vector<UnsignedInt>>>& arrays)

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/CombineIndexedArrays.h>

Combine index arrays.

Creates new combined index array and updates the original ones with translation to new ones. For example, when you have position and normal array, each indexed with separate indices and you want to index both of them with single index array:

a b c d e f         // positions
A B C D E F G       // normals

0 2 5 0 0 1 3 2 2   // position indices
1 3 4 1 4 6 1 3 1   // normal indices

In particular, first triangle in the mesh will have positions a c f and normals B D E. You can see that not all combinations are unique and also that there are some vertices unused. When you pass the two index arrays above to this function, the following combined index array is returned:

0 1 2 0 3 4 5 1 6

And the original arrays are cleaned up to have only unique combinations:

0 2 5 0 1 3 2
1 3 4 4 6 1 1

You can use these as translation table to create new vertex and normal arrays which can be then indexed with the combined index array:

a c f a b d c
B D E E G B B

Again, first triangle in the mesh will have positions a c f and normals B D E.

This function calls combineIndexArrays(const std::vector<UnsignedInt>&, UnsignedInt) internally. See also combineIndexedArrays() which does the vertex data reordering automatically.

std::vector<UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::combineIndexArrays(std::initializer_list<std::reference_wrapper<std::vector<UnsignedInt>>> arrays)

std::pair<std::vector<UnsignedInt>, std::vector<UnsignedInt>> Magnum::MeshTools::combineIndexArrays(const std::vector<UnsignedInt>& interleavedArrays, UnsignedInt stride)

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/CombineIndexedArrays.h>

Combine interleaved index arrays.

Unlike above, this function takes one interleaved array instead of separate index arrays. Continuing with the above example, you would call this function with the following array (odd value is vertex index, even is normal index, stride is thus 2):

0 1 2 3 5 4 0 1 0 4 1 6 3 1 2 3 2 1

Similarly to above this function will return the following combined index array as first pair value:

0 1 2 0 3 4 5 1 6

And second pair value is the cleaned up interleaved array:

0 1 2 3 5 4 0 4 1 6 3 1 2 1

template<class ... T>

std::vector<UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::combineIndexedArrays(const std::pair<const std::vector<UnsignedInt>&, std::vector<T>&>&... indexedArrays)

Combine indexed arrays.

Creates new combined index array and reorders original attribute arrays so they can be indexed with the new single index array.

The index array must be passed as const reference (to avoid copying) and attribute array as reference, so it can be replaced with combined data. To avoid explicit verbose specification of tuple type, you can write it with help of some STL functions like shown below. Also if one index array is shared by more than one attribute array, just pass the index array more times. Example:

std::vector<UnsignedInt> vertexIndices;
std::vector<Vector3> positions;
std::vector<UnsignedInt> normalTextureIndices;
std::vector<Vector3> normals;
std::vector<Vector2> textureCoordinates;

std::vector<UnsignedInt> indices = MeshTools::combineIndexedArrays(
    std::make_pair(std::cref(vertexIndices), std::ref(positions)),
    std::make_pair(std::cref(normalTextureIndices), std::ref(normals)),
    std::make_pair(std::cref(normalTextureIndices), std::ref(textureCoordinates))
);

See combineIndexArrays() documentation for more information about the procedure.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::compile(const Trade::MeshData& meshData, CompileFlags flags) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Compile.h>

Compile mesh data.

Configures a mesh for a Shaders::Generic shader with a vertex buffer and possibly also an index buffer, if the mesh is indexed.

• If the mesh contains positions, these are bound to the Shaders::Generic2D::Position attribute if they are 2D or to Shaders::Generic3D::Position if they are 3D.
• If the mesh contains normals or if CompileFlag::GenerateFlatNormals / CompileFlag::GenerateSmoothNormals is set, these are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::Normal.
• If the mesh contains texture coordinates, these are bound to Shaders::Generic::TextureCoordinates.
• If the mesh contains colors, these are bound to Shaders::Generic::Color3 / Shaders::Generic::Color4 based on their type.
• Custom attributes and known attributes of implementation-specific types are ignored with a warning. See the compile(const Trade::MeshData&, GL::Buffer&, GL::Buffer&) for an example showing how to bind them manually, and CompileFlag::NoWarnOnCustomAttributes to suppress the warning.

If normal generation is not requested, Trade::MeshData::indexData() and Trade::MeshData::vertexData() are uploaded as-is without any further modifications, keeping the original layout and vertex formats. If CompileFlag::GenerateSmoothNormals is requested, vertex data is interleaved together with the generated normals; if CompileFlag::GenerateFlatNormals is requested, the mesh is first deindexed and then the vertex data is interleaved together with the generated normals.

The generated mesh owns the index and vertex buffers and there's no possibility to access them afterwards. For alternative solutions see the compile(const Trade::MeshData&, GL::Buffer&, GL::Buffer&) overloads.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::compile(const Trade::MeshData& meshData) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Compile.h>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::compile(const Trade::MeshData& meshData, GL::Buffer& indices, GL::Buffer& vertices) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Compile.h>

Compile mesh data using external buffers.

Assumes the whole vertex / index data are already uploaded to indices / vertices and sets up the mesh using those. Can be used to have a single index/vertex buffer when multiple Trade::MeshData instances share the same data arrays, or to allow buffer access later. For example:

GL::Buffer indices, vertices;
indices.setData(meshData.indexData());
vertices.setData(meshData.vertexData());

GL::Mesh mesh = MeshTools::compile(meshData, indices, vertices);

Another use case is specifying additional vertex attributes that are not recognized by the function itself. You can choose among various r-value overloads depending on whether you want to have the index/vertex buffers owned by the mesh or not:

GL::Buffer indices, vertices;
indices.setData(meshData.indexData());
vertices.setData(meshData.vertexData());

/* Let compile() handle the usual attributes and configure custom ones after */
GL::Mesh mesh = MeshTools::compile(meshData, std::move(indices), vertices);
mesh.addVertexBuffer(std::move(vertices),
    meshData.attributeOffset(myCustomAttribute),
    meshData.attributeStride(myCustomAttribute),
    GL::DynamicAttribute{
        GL::DynamicAttribute::Kind::Generic, 7,
        GL::DynamicAttribute::Components::One,
        GL::DynamicAttribute::DataType::Float});

If meshData is not indexed, the indices parameter is ignored — in that case you can pass a NoCreate-d instance to avoid allocating an unnecessary OpenGL buffer object.

Compared to compile(const Trade::MeshData&, CompileFlags), this function implicitly enables the CompileFlag::NoWarnOnCustomAttributes flag, assuming that custom attributes and attributes with implementation-specific formats are explicitly handled on the application side.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::compile(const Trade::MeshData2D& meshData)

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Compile.h>

Compile 2D mesh data.

Configures a mesh for Shaders::Generic2D shader with vertex buffer and possibly also an index buffer, if the mesh is indexed. Positions are bound to Shaders::Generic2D::Position attribute. If the mesh contains texture coordinates, these are bound to Shaders::Generic2D::TextureCoordinates attribute. If the mesh contains colors, these are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::Color4 attribute. No data compression or index optimization (except for index buffer packing) is done, both the vertex buffer and the index buffer (if any) is owned by the mesh, both created with GL::BufferUsage::StaticDraw.

This is just a convenience function for creating generic meshes, you might want to use interleave() and compressIndices() functions together with GL::Mesh::setPrimitive(), GL::Mesh::setCount(), GL::Mesh::addVertexBuffer(), GL::Mesh::setIndexBuffer() instead for greater flexibility.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::compile(const Trade::MeshData3D& meshData, CompileFlags flags = {})

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Compile.h>

Compile 3D mesh data.

Configures mesh for Shaders::Generic3D shader with vertex buffer and possibly also index buffer, if the mesh is indexed. Positions are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::Position attribute. If the mesh contains normals, they are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::Normal attribute, texture coordinates are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::TextureCoordinates attribute. If the mesh contains colors, they are bound to Shaders::Generic3D::Color4 attribute. No data compression or index optimization (except for index buffer packing) is done, both the vertex buffer and the index buffer (if any) is owned by the mesh, both created with GL::BufferUsage::StaticDraw.

std::pair<Containers::Array<char>, MeshIndexType> Magnum::MeshTools::compressIndices(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const UnsignedInt>& indices, MeshIndexType atLeast = MeshIndexType::UnsignedShort, Long offset = 0) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/CompressIndices.h>

Compress an index array.

This function compresses indices to the smallest possible size. For example when your indices have the maximum vertex index 463, it's wasteful to store them in array of 32-bit integers, array of 16-bit integers is sufficient. The atLeast parameter allows you to specify the smallest type to use and it defaults to MeshIndexType::UnsignedShort as 8-bit types are not friendly to many GPUs (and for example unextended Vulkan or D3D12 don't even support them). It's also possible to choose a type larger than the input type to "inflate" an index buffer of a smaller type. Example usage:

Containers::Array<UnsignedInt> indices;

Containers::Array<char> indexData;
MeshIndexType indexType;
std::tie(indexData, indexType) = MeshTools::compressIndices(indices);

GL::Buffer indexBuffer;
indexBuffer.setData(indexData);

GL::Mesh mesh;
mesh.setCount(indices.size())
    .setIndexBuffer(indexBuffer, 0, indexType);

In case the indices all start from a large offset, the offset parameter can be used to subtract it, allowing them to be compressed even further. For example, if all indices are in range (which fits only into a 32-bit type), subtracting 75000 makes them in range which fits into 16 bits. Note that you also need to update vertex attribute offsets accordingly. Example:

Containers::ArrayView<const UnsignedInt> indices;
UnsignedInt offset = Math::min(indices);
std::pair<Containers::Array<char>, MeshIndexType> result =
    MeshTools::compressIndices(indices, offset);

// use `offset` to adjust vertex attribute offset …

A negative offset value will do an operation inverse to the above. See also compressIndices(const Trade::MeshData&, MeshIndexType) that can do this operation directly on a Trade::MeshData instance.

Compress mesh data indices.

Does the same as compressIndices(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<const char>&, MeshIndexType, Long), but together with adjusting vertex attribute offsets in the passed Trade::MeshData instance. This function will unconditionally make a copy of all vertex data, use compressIndices(Trade::MeshData&&, MeshIndexType) to avoid that copy.

Compared to compressIndices(const Trade::MeshData&, MeshIndexType) this function can transfer ownership of data vertex buffer (in case it is owned) to the returned instance instead of making a copy of it. Index and attribute data are copied always.

std::tuple<Containers::Array<char>, MeshIndexType, UnsignedInt, UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::compressIndices(const std::vector<UnsignedInt>& indices)

This function takes index array and outputs them compressed to smallest possible size. For example when your indices have maximum number 463, it's wasteful to store them in array of 32bit integers, array of 16bit integers is sufficient.

Example usage:

std::vector<UnsignedInt> indices;

MeshIndexType indexType;
UnsignedInt indexStart, indexEnd;
std::tie(indexData, indexType, indexStart, indexEnd) =

    MeshTools::compressIndicesAs<UnsignedShort>(indices);

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::concatenate(Containers::ArrayView<const Containers::Reference<const Trade::MeshData>> meshes) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Concatenate.h>

Concatenate meshes together.

The returned mesh contains vertices from all meshes concatenated together. If any mesh is indexed, the resulting mesh is indexed as well, with indices adjusted for vertex offsets of particular meshes. The behavior is undefined if any mesh has indices out of bounds for its particular vertex count. Meshes with MeshPrimitive::LineStrip, MeshPrimitive::LineLoop, MeshPrimitive::TriangleStrip and MeshPrimitive::TriangleFan can't be concatenated — use generateIndices() to turn them into MeshPrimitive::Lines or MeshPrimitive::Triangles first. The meshes array is expected to have at least one item.

All attributes from the first mesh are taken; for each following mesh attributes present in the first are copied, superfluous attributes ignored and missing attributes zeroed out. Matching attributes are expected to have the same type, all meshes are expected to have the same primitive. The vertex data are concatenated in the same order as passed, with no duplicate removal. Returned instance vertex and index data flags always have both Trade::DataFlag::Owned and Trade::DataFlag::Mutable to guarante mutable access to particular parts of the concatenated mesh — for example for applying transformations.

If an index buffer is needed, MeshIndexType::UnsignedInt is always used. Call compressIndices(const Trade::MeshData&, MeshIndexType) on the result to compress it to a smaller type, if desired.

Concatenate a list of meshes into a pre-existing destination, enlarging it if necessary.

Compared to concatenate(Containers::ArrayView<const Containers::Reference<const Trade::MeshData>>) this function resizes existing index and vertex buffers in destination using Containers::arrayResize() and given allocator, and reuses its atttribute data array instead of always allocating new ones.

Converts indexed array to non-indexed, for example data {a, b, c, d} with index array {1, 1, 0, 3, 2, 2} will be converted to {b, b, a, d, c, c}. The resulting array size is the same as size of indices, expects that all indices are in range for the data array.

Returns a copy of data that's not indexed and has all attributes interleaved and duplicated according to data's index buffer. The extra attributes, if any, are duplicated and interleaved together with existing attributes (or, in case the attribute view is empty, only the corresponding space for given attribute type is reserved, with memory left uninitialized). The data layouting is done by interleavedLayout(), see its documentation for detailed behavior description. Note that offset-only Trade::MeshAttributeData instances are not supported in the extra array.

Expects that data is indexed and each attribute in extra has either the same amount of elements as data vertex count (not index count) or has none.

void Magnum::MeshTools::flipNormalsInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>& indices, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>& normals) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/FlipNormals.h>

Flip mesh normals and face winding in-place.

Flips normal vectors and face winding in index array for face culling to work properly too. See also flipNormalsInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>&) and flipFaceWindingInPlace(), which flip normals or face winding only. Expects a triangle mesh, thus the index count has to be divisible by 3.

Flip face winding in-place.

Same as flipNormalsInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>&), but flips only face winding. Expects a triangle mesh, thus the index count has to be divisible by 3.

void Magnum::MeshTools::flipFaceWindingInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char>& indices) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/FlipNormals.h>

Flip face winding in-place on a type-erased index array.

Expects that the second dimension of indices is contiguous and represents the actual 1/2/4-byte index type. Based on its size then calls one of the flipFaceWindingInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>&) etc. overloads.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/FlipNormals.h>

Flip mesh normals in-place.

GL::Mesh Magnum::MeshTools::fullScreenTriangle(GL::Version version)

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/FullScreenTriangle.h>

Full screen triangle mesh.

Returns a pre-configured mesh along with vertex buffer which can be used for full-screen post-processing effects. The mesh is a single triangle covering whole screen area ( in both dimensions) and provides only vertex positions, as other attributes (such as texture coordinates) can be calculated from them. The vertex positions are, in order:

Based on the version parameter, on OpenGL 2.1, OpenGL ES 2.0 and WebGL 1 the vertex positions are passed explicitly as attribute 0, contained in a vertex buffer owned by the mesh. On OpenGL 3.0+, OpenGL ES 3.0+ and WebGL 2 the mesh is attribute-less and the vertex positions can be calculated using the gl_VertexID builtin shader variable.

Calculating positions in the shader in a portable way can be done like this. For OpenGL 2.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 you then need to bind location of the position attribute to 0.

#if (!defined(GL_ES) && __VERSION__ >= 130) || (defined(GL_ES) && __VERSION__ >= 300)

UnsignedInt Magnum::MeshTools::primitiveCount(MeshPrimitive primitive, UnsignedInt elementCount) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateIndices.h>

Actual primitive count for given primitive type and element count.

Returns how many primitives is generated for given primitive and elementCount, for example for MeshPrimitive::Triangles returns elementCount/3. Expects that primitive is valid, return value is rounded down if there's not enough elements for given primitive type (so for 14 vertices you get just 4 triangles, for example).

Containers::Array<UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::generateLineStripIndices(UnsignedInt vertexCount) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateIndices.h>

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateIndices.h>

Create index buffer for a line strip primitive into an existing array.

A variant of generateLineStripIndicesInto() that fills existing memory instead of allocating a new array. The vertexCount is expected to be at least 2, the indices array is expected to have a size of 2*(vertexCount - 1). Primitive restart is not supported.

A variant of generateTriangleFanIndicesInto() that fills existing memory instead of allocating a new array. The vertexCount is expected to be at least 3, the indices array is expected to have a size of 3*(vertexCount - 2). Primitive restart is not supported.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::generateIndices(const Trade::MeshData& mesh) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateIndices.h>

Convert a mesh to plain indexed lines or triangles.

Expects that mesh is not indexed and is one of MeshPrimitive::LineStrip, MeshPrimitive::LineLoop, MeshPrimitive::TriangleStrip, MeshPrimitive::TriangleFan primitives. If your mesh is indexed, call duplicate(const Trade::MeshData& data, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>) on it first.

The resulting mesh always has MeshIndexType::UnsignedInt, call compressIndices(const Trade::MeshData&, MeshIndexType) on the result to compress it to a smaller type, if desired. This function will unconditionally make a copy of all vertex data, use generateIndices(Trade::MeshData&&) to avoid that copy.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::generateIndices(Trade::MeshData&& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateIndices.h>

Convert a mesh to plain indexed lines or triangles.

Compared to generateIndices(const Trade::MeshData&) this function can transfer ownership of data vertex buffer (in case it is owned) to the returned instance instead of making a copy of it. Attribute data is copied always.

Containers::Array<Vector3> Magnum::MeshTools::generateFlatNormals(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>& positions) new in 2019.10

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate flat normals.

All vertices in each triangle face get the same normal vector. Expects that the position count is divisible by 3. If you need to generate flat normals for an indexed mesh, duplicate() the vertices first, after the operation you might want to remove the duplicates again using removeDuplicatesInPlace(). Example usage:

Containers::ArrayView<UnsignedInt> indices;
Containers::ArrayView<Vector3> indexedPositions;

Containers::Array<Vector3> positions =
    MeshTools::duplicate<UnsignedInt, Vector3>(indices, indexedPositions);

Containers::Array<Vector3> normals =
    MeshTools::generateFlatNormals(positions);

void Magnum::MeshTools::generateFlatNormalsInto(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>& positions, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>& normals) new in 2019.10

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate flat normals into an existing array.

A variant of generateFlatNormals() that fills existing memory instead of allocating a new array. The normals array is expected to have the same size as positions.

Useful when you need to interface for example with STL containers — in that case #include Corrade/Containers/ArrayViewStl.h to get implicit conversions:

#include <Corrade/Containers/ArrayViewStl.h>

// …

std::vector<Vector3> positions;

std::vector<Vector3> normals{positions.size()};
MeshTools::generateFlatNormalsInto(positions, normals);

std::pair<std::vector<UnsignedInt>, std::vector<Vector3>> Magnum::MeshTools::generateFlatNormals(const std::vector<UnsignedInt>& indices, const std::vector<Vector3>& positions)

Containers::Array<Vector3> Magnum::MeshTools::generateSmoothNormals(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const UnsignedInt>& indices, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>& positions) new in 2019.10

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate smooth normals.

Uses the indices array to discover adjacent triangles and then for each vertex position calculates a normal averaged from all triangles that share it. The normal is weighted according to adjacent triangle area and angle at given vertex; hard edges are preserved where adjacent triangles don't share vertices. Triangles with zero area or triangles containing invalid positions (NaNs) don't contribute to calculated vertex normals.

Implementation is based on the article Weighted Vertex Normals by Martijn Buijs.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate smooth normals using a type-erased index array.

Expects that the second dimension of indices is contiguous and represents the actual 1/2/4-byte index type. Based on its size then calls one of the generateSmoothNormals(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>&) etc. overloads.

void Magnum::MeshTools::generateSmoothNormalsInto(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const UnsignedInt>& indices, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>& positions, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>& normals) new in 2019.10

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate smooth normals into an existing array.

A variant of generateSmoothNormals() that fills existing memory instead of allocating a new array. The normals array is expected to have the same size as positions. Note that even with the output array this function isn't fully allocation-free — it still allocates three additional internal arrays for adjacent face calculation.

Useful when you need to interface for example with STL containers — in that case #include Corrade/Containers/ArrayViewStl.h to get implicit conversions:

#include <Corrade/Containers/ArrayViewStl.h>

// …

std::vector<UnsignedInt> indices;

std::vector<Vector3> normals{positions.size()};
MeshTools::generateSmoothNormalsInto(indices, positions, normals);

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void Magnum::MeshTools::generateSmoothNormalsInto(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<const char>& indices, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>& positions, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>& normals) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/GenerateNormals.h>

Generate smooth normals into an existing array using a type-erased index array.

Expects that normals has the same size as positions and that the second dimension of indices is contiguous and represents the actual 1/2/4-byte index type. Based on its size then calls one of the generateSmoothNormalsInto(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<const Vector3>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vector3>&) etc. overloads.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

template<class T, class ... U>

Containers::Array<char> Magnum::MeshTools::interleave(const T& first, const U&... next)

Interleave vertex attributes.

This function takes list of attribute arrays and returns them interleaved, so data for each attribute are in continuous place in memory. Expects that all attributes have the same element count.

Example usage:

Containers::ArrayView<const Vector3> positions;
Containers::ArrayView<const Vector2> textureCoordinates;

GL::Buffer vertexBuffer;
vertexBuffer.setData(MeshTools::interleave(positions, textureCoordinates));

GL::Mesh mesh;
mesh.setCount(positions.size())
    .addVertexBuffer(vertexBuffer, 0, MyShader::Position{},
                                      MyShader::TextureCoordinates{});

It's often desirable to align data for one vertex on 32bit boundaries. To achieve that, you can specify gaps between the attributes:

Containers::ArrayView<const Vector4> positions;
Containers::ArrayView<const UnsignedShort> weights;
Containers::ArrayView<const Color3ub> vertexColors;

auto data = MeshTools::interleave(positions, weights, 2, vertexColors, 1);

All gap bytes are set zero. This way vertex stride is 24 bytes, without gaps it would be 21 bytes, causing possible performance loss.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

template<class T, class ... U>

void Magnum::MeshTools::interleaveInto(Containers::ArrayView<char> buffer, const T& first, const U&... next)

Interleave vertex attributes into existing buffer.

Unlike interleave() this function interleaves the data into existing buffer and leaves gaps untouched instead of zero-initializing them. This function can thus be used for interleaving data depending on runtime parameters. Expects that all arrays have the same size and the passed buffer is large enough to contain the interleaved data.

bool Magnum::MeshTools::isInterleaved(const Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

If the mesh data is interleaved.

Returns true if all attributes have the same stride and the difference between minimal and maximal offset is not larger than the stride, false otherwise. In particular, returns true also if the mesh has just one or no attributes.

Containers::StridedArrayView2D<const char> Magnum::MeshTools::interleavedData(const Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Type-erased view on interleaved mesh data.

Returns a 2D view on Trade::MeshData::vertexData() that spans all interleaved attributes, with the first dimension being the vertex count and the second being the attribute stride that's common for all attributes. Expects that the mesh is interleaved.

Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char> Magnum::MeshTools::interleavedMutableData(Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Mutable type-erased view on interleaved mesh data.

Same as interleavedData(), but returns a mutable view. Expects that the mesh is interleaved and vertex data is mutable.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::interleavedLayout(const Trade::MeshData& data, UnsignedInt vertexCount, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData> extra = {}) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Create an interleaved mesh layout.

Returns a Trade::MeshData instance with its vertex data allocated for vertexCount vertices containing attributes from both data and extra interleaved together. No data is actually copied, only an interleaved layout is created. If data is already interleaved, keeps the attributes in the same layout, potentially extending them with extra. The extra attributes, if any, are interleaved together with existing attributes. Returned instance vertex data flags have both Trade::DataFlag::Mutable and Trade::DataFlag::Owned, so mutable attribute access is guaranteed.

For greater control you can also pass an empty Trade::MeshData instance and fill extra with attributes cherry-picked using Trade::MeshData::attributeData(UnsignedInt) const on an existing instance. By default the attributes are tightly packed, you can add arbitrary padding using instances constructed via Trade::MeshAttributeData::MeshAttributeData(Int). Example:

Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData> attributes =
    data.attributeData();

/* Take just positions and normals and add a four-byte padding in between */
Trade::MeshData layout = MeshTools::interleavedLayout(
    Trade::MeshData{MeshPrimitive::Triangles, 0}, vertexCount, {
        attributes[data.attributeId(Trade::MeshAttribute::Position)],
        Trade::MeshAttributeData{4},
        attributes[data.attributeId(Trade::MeshAttribute::Normal)]
    });

This function doesn't preserve index data information in any way, making the output non-indexed. If you want to preserve index data, create a new indexed instance with attribute and vertex data transferred from the returned instance:

Trade::MeshData layout =
    MeshTools::interleavedLayout(data, vertexCount, extraAttributes);

Trade::MeshIndexData indices;
Trade::MeshData indexed{data.primitive(),
    std::move(indexData), indices,
    layout.releaseVertexData(), layout.releaseAttributeData()};

This function will unconditionally allocate a new array to store all Trade::MeshAttributeData, use interleavedLayout(Trade::MeshData&&, UnsignedInt, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>) to avoid that allocation.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::interleavedLayout(const Trade::MeshData& data, UnsignedInt vertexCount, std::initializer_list<Trade::MeshAttributeData> extra) new in 2020.06

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::interleavedLayout(Trade::MeshData&& data, UnsignedInt vertexCount, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData> extra = {}) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Create an interleaved mesh layout.

Compared to interleavedLayout(const Trade::MeshData&, UnsignedInt, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>) this function can reuse the Trade::MeshAttributeData array from data instead of allocating a new one if there are no attributes passed in extra and the attribute array is owned by the mesh.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::interleave(const Trade::MeshData& data, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData> extra = {}) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Interleave mesh data.

Returns a copy of data with all attributes interleaved. Indices (if any) are kept as-is. The extra attributes, if any, are interleaved together with existing attributes (or, in case the attribute view is empty, only the corresponding space for given attribute type is reserved, with memory left uninitialized). The data layouting is done by interleavedLayout(), see its documentation for detailed behavior description. Note that offset-only Trade::MeshAttributeData instances are not supported in the extra array.

Expects that each attribute in extra has either the same amount of elements as data vertex count or has none. This function will unconditionally make a copy of all data even if data is already interleaved and needs no change, use interleave(Trade::MeshData&&, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>) to avoid that copy.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

Interleave mesh data.

Compared to interleave(const Trade::MeshData&, Containers::ArrayView<const Trade::MeshAttributeData>) this function can transfer ownership of data index buffer (in case it is owned) and vertex buffer (in case it is owned, already interleaved and there's no extra attributes) to the returned instance instead of making copies of them.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::interleave(Trade::MeshData&& data, std::initializer_list<Trade::MeshAttributeData> extra) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Interleave.h>

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::reference(const Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Reference.h>

Create an immutable reference on a Trade::MeshData.

The returned instance has empty Trade::MeshData::indexDataFlags() and Trade::MeshData::vertexDataFlags() and references attribute data from the data as well. The function performs no allocation or data copy. Use owned() for an inverse operation.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::mutableReference(Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Reference.h>

Create a mutable reference on a Trade::MeshData.

The returned instance has Trade::MeshData::indexDataFlags() and Trade::MeshData::vertexDataFlags() set to Trade::DataFlag::Mutable. The function performs no allocation or data copy. Use owned() for an inverse operation. Expects that data is mutable.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::owned(const Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Reference.h>

Create an owned Trade::MeshData.

The returned instance owns its index, vertex and attribute data — both Trade::MeshData::indexDataFlags() and Trade::MeshData::vertexDataFlags() have Trade::DataFlag::Mutable and Trade::DataFlag::Owned set. This function unconditionally does an allocation and a copy even if the data is already owned, use owned(Trade::MeshData&&) to make an owned copy only if the instance isn't already owned.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::owned(Trade::MeshData&& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/Reference.h>

Create an owned Trade::MeshData, if not already.

The returned instance owns its index, vertex and attribute data — both Trade::MeshData::indexDataFlags() and Trade::MeshData::vertexDataFlags() have Trade::DataFlag::Mutable and Trade::DataFlag::Owned set. Index, vertex and attribute data that are already owned are simply moved to the output, otherwise the data get copied into newly allocated arrays.

std::pair<Containers::Array<UnsignedInt>, std::size_t> Magnum::MeshTools::removeDuplicatesInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char>& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/RemoveDuplicates.h>

Remove duplicate data from given array in-place.

Removes duplicate data from given array by comparing the second dimension of each item, the second dimension is expected to be contiguous. A plain bit-exact matching is used, if you need fuzzy comparison for floating-point data, use removeDuplicatesFuzzyInPlace() instead. If you want to remove duplicate data from an already indexed array, use removeDuplicatesIndexedInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char>&) instead. Usage example:

Containers::ArrayView<Vector3i> data;

std::size_t size;
Containers::Array<UnsignedInt> indices;
std::tie(indices, size) = MeshTools::removeDuplicatesInPlace(
    Containers::arrayCast<2, char>(data));
data = data.prefix(size);

See removeDuplicates(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<const char>&) for a variant that doesn't modify the input data in any way but instead returns an index array pointing to original data locations.

Remove duplicates from indexed data in-place on a type-erased index array.

Expects that the second dimension of indices is contiguous and represents the actual 1/2/4-byte index type. Based on its size then calls one of the removeDuplicatesIndexedInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char>&) etc. overloads.

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/RemoveDuplicates.h>

Remove duplicate data from given array using fuzzy comparison in-place.

Removes duplicate data from the array by collapsing them into buckets of size epsilon. First vector in given bucket is used, other ones are thrown away, no interpolation is done. Note that this function is meant to be used for floating-point data (or generally with non-zero epsilon), for data where bit-exact matching is sufficient use removeDuplicatesInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<char>&) instead.

If you want to remove duplicate data from an already indexed array, use removeDuplicatesFuzzyIndexedInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<UnsignedInt>&, const Containers::StridedArrayView2D<Float>&, Float) and friends instead.

If you want to remove duplicates in multiple incidental arrays, first remove duplicates in each array separately and then combine the resulting index arrays back into a single one using combineIndexedAttributes().

template<class Vector>

std::vector<UnsignedInt> Magnum::MeshTools::removeDuplicates(std::vector<Vector>& data, typename Vector::Type epsilon = Math::TypeTraits<typename Vector::Type>::epsilon())

Remove duplicate data from a STL vector using fuzzy comparison in-place.

Similar to the above, except that it's operating on a std::vector, which gets shrunk as a result (instead of the prefix size being returned). This variant is useful together with combineIndexedArrays() to remove duplicates in multiple incidental arrays — first remove duplicates in each array separately and then combine the resulting index arrays to single index array, and reorder the data accordingly:

std::vector<Vector3> positions;
std::vector<Vector2> texCoords;

std::vector<UnsignedInt> positionIndices = MeshTools::removeDuplicates(positions);
std::vector<UnsignedInt> texCoordIndices = MeshTools::removeDuplicates(texCoords);

std::vector<UnsignedInt> indices = MeshTools::combineIndexedArrays(
    std::make_pair(std::cref(positionIndices), std::ref(positions)),
    std::make_pair(std::cref(texCoordIndices), std::ref(texCoords))
);

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::removeDuplicates(const Trade::MeshData& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/RemoveDuplicates.h>

Remove mesh data duplicates.

Equivalent to calling removeDuplicatesInPlace() (or removeDuplicatesIndexedInPlace(), in case the mesh is indexed) on a mutable copy of every attribute and then putting the unique prefix and newly generated index buffer into a new Trade::MeshData instance. If the mesh is indexed, the original index type is preserved, otherwise the mesh gets MeshIndexType::UnsignedInt indices. The resulting mesh is always interleaved and owned, if the input is already interleaved attribute offsets and paddings are preserved.

This function unconditionally copies and interleaves passed vertex and index data in order to operate on them in-place. If your data is interleaved and owned by the instance and you don't need the original data after the process, call removeDuplicates(Trade::MeshData&&) instead to avoid the extra copy.

Trade::MeshData Magnum::MeshTools::removeDuplicates(Trade::MeshData&& data) new in 2020.06

#include <Magnum/MeshTools/RemoveDuplicates.h>

Remove mesh data duplicates.

Same as removeDuplicates(const Trade::MeshData&), except that it operates in-place on the passed instance, avoiding an extra copy of vertex and index data.

Remove mesh data duplicates with fuzzy comparison for floating-point attributes.

Compared to removeDuplicates(const Trade::MeshData&), calls removeDuplicatesFuzzyInPlace() or removeDuplicatesFuzzyIndexedInPlace() on floating-point attributes. For attributes with a known range (such as Trade::MeshAttribute::Normal being always in each direction) the floatEpsilon / doubleEpsilon is scaled appropriately, otherwise it's scaled to calculated value range.

void Magnum::MeshTools::subdivideInPlace(const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<IndexType>& indices, const Containers::StridedArrayView1D<Vertex>& vertices, Interpolator interpolator) new in 2020.06

Subdivide a mesh in-place.

Assuming the original mesh has indices and vertices, expects the indices array to have a size of (as every triangle face would be divided into four new), with the original indices being in the first quarter, and the vertices array to have a size of (as every original triangle face will get three new vertices). Removing duplicate vertices in the mesh is up to the user.

Generally, for subsequent subdivisions, the resulting index and vertex array sizes and will be as following. To subdivide the mesh multiple times in-place, pass correctly sized prefix of the arrays to each step.
