Added parameters to control the gutter size of the outlines, the possibility to track space between previously placed polygons when evaluating new moves (inner horizons), and the possibility to try a small number of permutations of the packing sequence in order to improve the overall efficiency. Cleaned up QtOutline2Rasterizer. Updated the relevant samples. |

README.md
The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library (VCGlib for short) is a open source, portable, C++, templated, no dependency, library for manipulation, processing, cleaning, simplifying triangle meshes.
The library, composed by more than 100k lines
of code, is released under the GPL license, and it is the base of most
of the software tools of the Visual
Computing Lab of the Italian National Research Council Institute
ISTI , like MeshLab, metro and many others.
The VCG library is tailored to mostly manage triangular meshes: The library is fairly large and offers many state of the art functionalities for processing meshes, like:
- high quality quadric-error edge-collapse based simplfication,
- efficient spatial query structures (uniform grids, hashed grids, kdtree, …) ,
- advanced smoothing and fairing algorithms,
- computation of curvature,
- optimization of texture coordinates,
- Hausdorff distance computation,
- geodesic paths,
- mesh repairing capabilities,
- isosurface extraction and advancing front meshing algorithms,
- Poisson Disk sampling and other tools to sample point distributions over meshes,
- subdivision surfaces
Notable Applications
A number of applications have been developed using the vcglib:
- MeshLab: the renowed open source mesh processing is based on this library.
- Metro, the tool for measuring differences between meshes
- The first high quality out-of-core mesh simplifier that was used by the Stanford Digital Michelangelo project to process their huge 3D scanned models.
