GTS stands for the GNU Triangulated Surface Library. It is an Open Source
|
|
Free Software Library intended to provide a set of useful functions to deal
|
|
with 3D surfaces meshed with interconnected triangles.
|
|
|
|
The code is written entirely in C with an object-oriented approach based
|
|
mostly on the design of GTK+. Careful attention is paid to performance related
|
|
issues as the initial goal of GTS is to provide a simple and efficient library
|
|
to scientists dealing with 3D computational surface meshes.
|
|
|
|
A brief summary of its main features:
|
|
- Simple object-oriented structure giving easy access to topological
|
|
properties.
|
|
- 2D dynamic Delaunay and constrained Delaunay triangulations.
|
|
- Robust geometric predicates (orientation, in circle) using fast adaptive
|
|
floating point arithmetic.
|
|
- Robust set operations on surfaces (union, intersection, difference).
|
|
- Surface refinement and coarsening (multiresolution models).
|
|
- Dynamic view-independent continuous level-of-detail.
|
|
- Preliminary support for view-dependent level-of-detail.
|
|
- Bounding-boxes trees and Kd-trees for efficient point location and
|
|
collision/intersection detection.
|
|
- Graph operations: traversal, graph partitioning.
|
|
- Metric operations (area, volume, curvature ...).
|
|
- Triangle strips generation for fast rendering.
