spherical-triangulation v1.0.0

spherical-triangulation

Maintains a spherical triangulation under incremental vertex insertions. This module is meant to be used internally for various convex hull implementations.

This module should work for spheres in any dimension > 1, though it is probably quite slow once you get past 4D spheres.

All computations are performed using adaptive/exact arithmetic.

Example

var createTriangulation = require("spherical-triangulation")

var st = createTriangulation([
  [1,0,0],
  [0,1,0],
  [0,0,1],
  [-1,-1,-1]
])

st.insert([1,1,0])
st.insert([0,1,1])
st.insert([1,0,1])

Install

npm install spherical-triangulation

API

var createTriangulation = require("spherical-triangulation")

var st = createTriangulation(simplex)

Creates an initial spherical triangulation from a simplex

• simplex is an array of points encoding a simplex

Returns A new spherical triangulation object

st.insert(point)

Inserts a point into a spherical triangulation

• point is the point which is being inserted

st.locate(point)

Locates a point in the triangulation

• point is a test point

Returns The cell containing point

st.points

The list of all points in the cell complex

st.cells

An array of all the cells in the complex. Cells are all positively oriented according to the convention used in robust-orientation.
