cotangent_weights

cotangent_weights(V, F)

Builds the cotangent weights (cotangent/2) for each halfedge.

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
V (n,d) numpy array

vertex list of a triangle mesh

 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
