simplify-2d-complex

Simplifies a 2D simplicial complex by removing small or nearly flat corners.

Example

var simplify = require("simplify-2d-complex")
 
//Create a circle
var points = []
var cells = []
for(var i=0; i<100; ++i) {
  var theta = i / 100 * Math.PI * 2.0
  points.push([Math.cos(theta), Math.sin(theta)])
  cells.push([i, (i+1)%100])
}
 
//Simplify it
console.log(simplify(points, cells, 0.1))

Output:

{ positions:
   [ [ 0.6845471059286886, 0.7289686274214116 ],
     [ 0.24868988716485496, 0.9685831611286311 ],

Install

npm install simplify-2d-complex

API

require("simplify-2d-complex")(cells, positions, minArea)

Simplies the 2D mesh to a fixed tolerance

• cells is a collection of edges in the 2D mesh represented as pairs of indices into the vertices
• positions is a list of vertex coordinates encoded as an array of 2D arrays
• minArea is the area of the smallest corner in the resulting polygonal region

Returns A simplicial complex with two properties:

• positions is an array of positions for the simplicial complex
• cells is an array of edges encoding the cells of the mesh
