【OpenMesh】创建一个正方体

原文出处： http://openmesh.org/Documentation/OpenMesh-Doc-Latest/tutorial.html
这个例程演示了：

• 如何声明MyMesh
• 如何添加顶点和面到Mesh中
• 如何使用IO函数写入网格数据

每一个程序第一步都是定义MyMesh类型。OpenMesh支持常见的多边形网格（面由可变顶点数的多边形组成）以及特殊的三角网格（所有面都是三角形的）。在这个例子中我们希望构建一个六面的正方体，因此我们选择多边形网格。
OpenMesh同样支持不同的网格内核，指定顶点、边和面是如何存储的（参考Mesh Kernels）。然而，存储器必须提供一个阵列接口。在这篇指南中我们使用提供的ArrayKernel。预先定义的TriMesh/PolyMesh和内核包含在OpenMesh/src/OpenMesh/Core/Mesh中，我们使用PolyMesh_ArrayKernelT。

#include <OpenMesh/Core/Mesh/PolyMesh_ArrayKernelT.hh>
typedef OpenMesh::PolyMesh_ArrayKernelT<> MyMesh;

限制我们定义了MyMesh类型，我们只用添加8个顶点和6个四边形来构建一个正方体。使用add_vertex方法添加顶点。这个函数获取坐标值返回添加顶点的handle。我们保存所有的顶点到array中，我们需要这些顶点指定面。

vhandle[0] = mesh.add_vertex(MyMesh::Point(-1, -1, 1));
vhandle[1] = mesh.add_vertex(MyMesh::Point( 1, -1, 1));
vhandle[2] = mesh.add_vertex(MyMesh::Point( 1, 1, 1));
vhandle[3] = mesh.add_vertex(MyMesh::Point(-1, 1, 1));

为了添加面到网格中，我们必须构建一个vector保存面的顶点的handle。这个vector当做add_face的参数被传入。下列的代码使用四个点创建一个面：

std::vector<MyMesh::VertexHandle> face_vhandles;
face_vhandles.clear();
face_vhandles.push_back(vhandle[0]);
face_vhandles.push_back(vhandle[1]);
face_vhandles.push_back(vhandle[2]);
face_vhandles.push_back(vhandle[3]);
mesh.add_face(face_vhandles);

面的方向由提供的点的方向来定义：如果你朝着多边形的前面看，这些点的方向是逆时针的。
当创建完所有的面的时候，我们希望将网格结果写入标准输出中。OpenMesh提供基本的输入输出方法，定义在名字空间OpenMesh::IO：

if ( !OpenMesh::IO::write_mesh(mesh, "output.off") )

使用IO的函数首先应包含MeshIO.hh

#include <OpenMesh/Core/IO/MeshIO.hh>
#include <OpenMesh/Core/Mesh/PolyMesh_ArrayKernelT.hh>
