Syntax

[Fn,Vn]=subTriCentre(F,V,L);

Description

The subTriCentre function splits the faces defined by L up into three by introducing a central node.

Examples

clear; close all; clc;

Plot settings

fontSize=10;
faceAlpha=1;
edgeColor=0.3*ones(1,3);
edgeWidth=1.5;

Example: Splitting a selection of triangles

Building example patch data

[V,F]=platonic_solid(4,1);

Create logic for faces to split

L=false(size(F,1),1);
L(6:8)=1; %e.g. the first 3 faces

Splitting selected triangles

[Fn,Vn]=subTriCentre(F,V,L);

Plotting results

C=[ones(size(F,1),1) zeros(size(F,1),1) zeros(size(F,1),1)];
C(L,1)=0;
C(L,2)=1;

EXAMPLE SURFACE AREA BASED RESAMPLING

Load example patch data

[F,V]=parasaurolophus;

Split large triangles according to area threshold

[A]=patch_area(F,V); % Calculate triangle surface areas
max_A=mean(A(:))+2*std(A(:)); %Set a max treshold

%Loop until all are within treshold
An=A;
Vn=V;
Fn=F;
Ln=false(size(Fn,1),1);
while 1
    L=An>max_A;
    Ln(L)=1;
    if nnz(L)>0
        [Fn,Vn]=subTriCentre(Fn,Vn,L);
        [An]=patch_area(Fn,Vn);
    else
        break
    end
end
