cellcomplex.property_topomesh.io.save_ply_property_topomesh

cellcomplex.property_topomesh.io.save_ply_property_topomesh(topomesh, ply_filename, properties_to_save={0: [], 1: ['length'], 2: ['area', 'epidermis'], 3: []}, position_name='barycenter', verbose=True)[source]

Write a PropertyTopomesh as a standard PLY file.

Save a PropertyTopomesh object into a ASCII-formatted PLY file with a subset of element properties written into the file. The written file is readable by other mesh processing tools, and contains all the necessary information to reconstruct the PropertyTopomesh including all topological relationships and element properties.

Parameters

  • topomesh (cellcomplex.property_topomesh.PropertyTopomesh) – The PropertyTopomesh instance to save

  • ply_filename (str) – Path to the PLY file to write to

  • properties_to_save (dict) – Dictionary containing ,for each degree, the list of properties to write in the file

  • position_name (str) – Property name used to define the XYZ position of vertices (default : barycenter)

  • verbose (bool) – Whether to print information while writing the file
