Because there are two packages about geometry
- Meshes.jl - the future geometry package.
- GeometryBasics.jl - the current main geometry package.
These two are not compatible now. This package is use to convert types between these two packages.
Thanks Felipe Kersting write the code and Manuel Schmid write the code from GeometryBasics.Mesh to Meshes.Mesh.
NOTE: YOU SHOULD NOT USE BOTH TWO PACKAGE IN YOUR CODE. BECAUSE THE CONVERSION IS VERY SLOW. IT IS JUST WORK WITH OUT ANY PERFORMANCE.
Via convert method.
using MeshIO
using FileIO
using Meshes
using GeometryBasics: GeometryBasics
old_mesh = load("bunny.stl") # This file is not in package. Just for sample.
new_mesh = convert(Mesh, old_mesh)
convert_back_mesh = convert(GeometryBasics.Mesh, new_mesh)
old_triangle = old_mesh[1]
new_triangle = convert(Triangle, old_triangle)
convert_back_triangle = convert(GeometryBasics.Triangle, new_triangle)
old_point = old_triangle[1]
new_point = convert(Point, old_point)
convert_back_point = convert(GeometryBasics.Point, new_point)note: using two packages at the same time will get conflict. Just import the one you use in your inner code.
using GeometryBasics
using Meshes # Get conflict here.The above will get conflict. Use the below code.
using GeometryBasics: GeometryBasics # The one just for compatible
using Meshes # The one real used
