write_ma

write_ma(path, V, R, E=None, F=None)

Write a medial mesh to a .ma file.

See read_ma for a description of the format.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
path	str	Output path (overwritten if it exists).	required
V	(n,3) numpy double array	Medial sphere centers.	required
R	(n,) numpy double array	Medial sphere radii.	required
E	(e,2) numpy int array, optional (default None)	Medial edges.	None
F	(f,3) numpy int array, optional (default None)	Medial faces.	None

Raises:

Type	Description
ValueError	If the inputs are inconsistent or the file cannot be written.

Notes

C++: bool libmat::write_ma(path, V, R, E, F) in <libmat/write_ma.h>.

Examples:

import libmat
V, F = libmat.read_surface_mesh("data/mesh_69058.obj")
C, R, _ = libmat.shrink_spheres(V, F, num_spheres=500)
libmat.write_ma("spheres.ma", C, R)   # spheres only, no edges/faces

C++

#include <libmat/write_ma.h>

// Write a medial mesh to a .ma file (see read_ma for the format).
//
// Inputs:
//   path  output path (overwritten)
//   V  #V by 3 medial sphere centers
//   R  #V medial sphere radii
//   E  #E by 2 medial edges
//   F  #F by 3 medial faces
// Returns true on success.
