@foxglove/wasm-edgesgeometry

THREE.js EdgesGeometry implementation in C++ compiled to WebAssembly

Introduction

This package provides a WebAssembly build of https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/geometries/EdgesGeometry, a helper method to generate a line list of edges from indexed or unindexed triangles. Run yarn bench to compare the performance of this library against the THREE.js implementation. It should be close to 10x faster for anything from a simple cube to >1MM triangles.

Usage

import { EdgesGeometry } from "@foxglove/wasm-edgesgeometry";

const positions = new Float32Array([
  0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
  1.0, 0.0, 0.0,
  0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
  0.0, 0.0, 1.0,
]);
const indices = new Uint32Array([
  0, 1, 2,
  0, 2, 3,
]);

const edgesGeometry = await EdgesGeometry.init();

try {
  // Generate edges from positions and indices with a threshold angle of 40
  // degrees. If positions is unindexed, set indices to undefined
  const result = edgesGeometry.createEdges(positions, indices, 40);
  // The returned Float32Array is a view into WASM memory that will be
  // overwritten on the next call to createEdges. We create a copy here to avoid
  // the underlying memory being overwritten
  const lineListBuffer = result.slice();
  // This should print 30: 5 lines made up of <XYZ><XYZ>
  console.log(lineListBuffer.length);
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}
