Parameterizing a surface amounts to finding a one-to-one mapping from a suitable domain to the surface. In this package, we focus on triangulated surfaces that are homeomorphic to a disk and on piecewise linear mappings into a planar domain. This package implements several surface mesh parameterization methods, such as As Rigid As Possible Parameterization, Discrete Authalic Parameterization, Discrete Conformal Map, Floater Mean Value Coordinates, Least Squares Conformal Maps, Orbifold Tutte Embedding, or Tutte Barycentric Mapping. The code is generic and works with any model of the FaceGraph concept.

Surface Parameterization Methods

This CGAL package implements several parameterization methods:

The following classes implement the methods listed above:

Border Parameterization Methods

Border parameterization methods define a set of constraints (a constraint specifies two (u,v) coordinates for each instance of a vertex along the border).

This package implements common border parameterization methods:

The following classes implement the methods listed above:

Mesh

The general definition of input meshes handled directly by CGAL::Surface_mesh_parameterization::parameterize() is a triangulated surface mesh model of FaceGraph that is homeomorphic to a disc (may have holes). In particular, it means that it must be 2-manifold and oriented.
