edge_indices

edge_indices(n, closed=False)

Returns matrix of edge indices

Given an ordered polyline, this returns the edge indeces in a similar way to how the face indeces of a triangle mesh are given.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
n int

Number of vertices in polyline

 required
closed boolean, optional (default False)

Matrix of triangle indices

 False

Returns:

Name Type Description
EC numpy int array

Matrix of edge indeces

Notes

Examples:

TO-DO
