Theory Guide

Note

This section is a work in progress.

The aim here is to provide explanations of how and why some of the important algorithms in MyMesh work. While the user guide and API reference are intended to show users how to use MyMesh, the theory guide is for helping users to understand MyMesh, and more specifically, the algorithms which it employs. Most users won’t need this guide, but it aims to serve an educational purpose and lessen the “blackbox” nature of some important and complex meshing operations as well as help to bridge the gap between the idea behind an algorithm and the implementation of that algorithm. Citations to the original authors and/or implementations of algorithms discussed in this guide will always be provided when available.
