createMesh

public PolygonalMesh createMesh(double[] vals,
                                Vector3d minCoord,
                                Vector3d cellWidths,
                                Vector3i res,
                                double iso)

Creates an isosurface mesh from a 3D grid of values. The grid has a resolution of res.x X res.y X res.z cells, with the x, y, and z widths of each cell given by cellWidths, and a minimum vertex located at minCoord. The number of vertices along the x, y, and z axes is hence numVX = res.x+1, numVY = res.y+1, and numVZ = res.z+1. The values at each vertex are stored in the array vals, and arranged, for the vertex at (i, j, k) by

   val[vertex(i,j,k)] = [i + j*numVY + k*numVY*numVZ];
 

Parameters:

vals - contains grid values at each vertex

minCoord - value of minimum vertex at (0, 0, 0)

cellWidths - widths of each grid cell along the x, y, and z axes

res - number of cells along each of the x, y, and z axes

iso - value to be used to create the isosurface

Returns:

mesh corresponding to the iso surface
