edges

edges(F, return_boundary_indices=False, return_interior_indices=False, return_nonmanifold_indices=False)

Given a triangle mesh with face indices F, returns all unique unoriented edges as indices into the vertex array. There is no particular ordering convention for edges. Boundary edges are guaranteed to be oriented as in F.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
F (m,3) numpy int array

face index list of a triangle mesh

 required
return_boundary_indices bool, optional (default False)

whether to return a list of indices into E denoting the boundary edges

 False
return_interior_indices bool, optional (default False)

whether to return a list of indices into E denoting the interior edges

 False
return_nonmanifold_indices bool, optional (default False)

whether to return a list of indices into E denoting the nonmanifold edges

 False

Returns:

Name Type Description
E (e,2) numpy int array

indices of edges into the vertex array
boundary_indices if requested, (b,) numpy int array

list of indices into E of boundary edges
interior_indices if requested, (i,) numpy int array

list of indices into E of interior edges
nonmanifold_indices if requested, (nm,) numpy int array

list of indices into E of nonmanifold edges
