trimesh.path.polygons.enclosure_tree(polygons)

Given a list of shapely polygons with only exteriors, find which curves represent the exterior shell or root curve and which represent holes which penetrate the exterior.

trimesh.path.polygons.medial_axis(polygon, resolution=None, clip=None)

Given a shapely polygon, find the approximate medial axis using a voronoi diagram of evenly spaced points on the boundary of the polygon.

Parameters

  • polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – The source geometry

  • resolution (float) – Distance between each sample on the polygon boundary

  • clip (None, or (2,) int) – Clip sample count to min of clip[0] and max of clip[1]

Returns

  • edges ((n, 2) int) – Vertex indices representing line segments on the polygon’s medial axis

  • vertices ((m, 2) float) – Vertex positions in space

trimesh.path.polygons.paths_to_polygons(paths, scale=None)

Given a sequence of connected points turn them into valid shapely Polygon objects.

Parameters

  • paths ((n,) sequence) – Of (m, 2) float closed paths

  • scale (float) – Approximate scale of drawing for precision

trimesh.path.polygons.plot(polygon, show=True, **kwargs)

Plot a shapely polygon using matplotlib.

Parameters

  • polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – Polygon to be plotted

  • show (bool) – If True will display immediately

  • **kwargs – Passed to plt.plot

trimesh.path.polygons.polygon_hash(polygon)

Return a vector containing values representitive of a particular polygon.

Parameters

polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – Input geometry

Returns

hashed – Representitive values representing input polygon

Return type

(6), float

trimesh.path.polygons.polygon_obb(polygon)

Find the oriented bounding box of a Shapely polygon.

The OBB is always aligned with an edge of the convex hull of the polygon.

Parameters

polygons (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – Input geometry

Returns

  • transform ((3, 3) float) – Transformation matrix which will move input polygon from its original position to the first quadrant where the AABB is the OBB

  • extents ((2,) float) – Extents of transformed polygon

trimesh.path.polygons.polygon_scale(polygon)

For a Polygon object return the diagonal length of the AABB.

Parameters

polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – Source geometry

Returns

scale – Length of AABB diagonal

Return type

float

trimesh.path.polygons.polygons_obb(polygons)

Find the OBBs for a list of shapely.geometry.Polygons

trimesh.path.polygons.projected(mesh, normal, origin=None, ignore_sign=True, rpad=1e-05, apad=None, tol_dot=0.01, max_regions=200)

Project a mesh onto a plane and then extract the polygon that outlines the mesh projection on that plane.

Note that this will ignore back-faces, which is only relevant if the source mesh isn’t watertight.

Also padding: this generates a result by unioning the polygons of multiple connected regions, which requires the polygons be padded by a distance so that a polygon union produces a single coherent result. This distance is calculated as: apad + (rpad * scale)

Parameters

  • mesh (trimesh.Trimesh) – Source geometry

  • check (bool) – If True make sure is flat

  • normal ((3,) float) – Normal to extract flat pattern along

  • origin (None or (3,) float) – Origin of plane to project mesh onto

  • ignore_sign (bool) – Allow a projection from the normal vector in either direction: this provides a substantial speedup on watertight meshes where the direction is irrelevant but if you have a triangle soup and want to discard backfaces you should set this to False.

  • rpad (float) – Proportion to pad polygons by before unioning and then de-padding result by to avoid zero-width gaps.

  • apad (float) – Absolute padding to pad polygons by before unioning and then de-padding result by to avoid zero-width gaps.

  • tol_dot (float) – Tolerance for discarding on-edge triangles.

  • max_regions (int) – Raise an exception if the mesh has more than this number of disconnected regions to fail quickly before unioning.

Returns

projected – Outline of source mesh

Return type

shapely.geometry.Polygon or None

Raises

ValueError – If max_regions is exceeded

trimesh.path.polygons.random_polygon(segments=8, radius=1.0)

Generate a random polygon with a maximum number of sides and approximate radius.

Parameters

  • segments (int) – The maximum number of sides the random polygon will have

  • radius (float) – The approximate radius of the polygon desired

Returns

polygon – Geometry object with random exterior and no interiors.

Return type

shapely.geometry.Polygon

trimesh.path.polygons.repair_invalid(polygon, scale=None, rtol=0.5)

Returns

repaired – Repaired polygon

Return type

Parameters
