NOTE on how to use Append::MEsh with selected elements:
If we want to append only the selected faces of the mesh and call the Append::Mesh
with selected parameter = true, we must ensure that also the cofaces of inferior
order are selected (vertices and edges).
Otherwise what happen is that the vertices are NOT appended and then the appended
(selected) faces cannot be built.
On the other ahnd Append::Mesh will NOT change the selected flag of the input mesh, it must be done
before calling it. (check tri::UpdateSelection<CMeshO>::VertexFromFaceLoose(currentMesh->cm); )
The same problem for the adjacencies with higher order simplexes. In this cases they are simply not updated . For example, if only a few vertices are selected, and they have, say, VFAdj, it is ignored.
the rarely used frompolar and topolar returns angles in RADIANTS
changed the function names to clarify, avoid stupid bugs, and to adequate to the standard
No modification should be necessary for the existing code.
most relevant changes:
creation of folder:
vcg/connectors
vcg/connectors/hedge.h
vcg/connectors/hedge_component.h
addition to the container of half edges to the trimesh:
HEdgeContainer hedge; // container
int hn; // number of half edges
addition of
vcg/trimesh/update/halfedge_indexed.h
which contains:
- the functions to compute the half edge representation from the indexed and vivecersa
- the functions to add or remove an half edge

and their type, so that one can add an attribute without knowing its type. It is useful
when working with plugin.
example:
vcg::tri::NameTypeScope myScope;
AddNameTypeBound<int>(myScope,std::string("number");
AddNameTypeBound<float>(myScope,std::string("incoming_light"));
we have crated a scope myScope where "number" is bound a int and incoming_light is a float
In another part of code where I may not know the type of "number", I can still do:
AddPerVertexAttribute(myScope, mesh, "number");
and an int attibute name "number" will be added.
