cotangent_weights_intrinsic

cotangent_weights_intrinsic(l_sq, F)

Builds the cotangent weights (cotangent/2) for each halfedge using only intrinsic information (squared halfedge edge lengths).

The ordering convention for halfedges is the following: [halfedge opposite vertex 0, halfedge opposite vertex 1, halfedge opposite vertex 2]

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
l_sq (m,3) numpy array

squared halfedge lengths as computed by halfedge_lengths_squared

 required
F (m,3) numpy int array

face index list of a triangle mesh

 required

Returns:

Name Type Description
C (m,3) numpy array

cotangent weights for each halfedge

Examples:
