<p>Libigl is an open source C++ library for geometry processing research and
development. Dropping the heavy data structures of tradition geometry
libraries, libigl is a simple header-only library of encapsulated functions.
This combines the rapid prototyping familiar to Matlab or Python programmers
with the performance and versatility of C++. The tutorial is a self-contained,
hands-on introduction to libigl. Via interactive, step-by-step examples, we
demonstrate how to accomplish common geometry processing tasks such as
computation of differential quantities and operators, real-time deformation,
parametrization, numerical optimization and remeshing. Each section of the
lecture notes links to a cross-platform example application.</p>

<h1 id="chapter1:introductiontolibigl">Chapter 1</h1>
<p>We introduce libigl with a series of self-contained examples. The purpose of
each example is to showcase a feature of libigl while applying to a practical
problem in geometry processing. In this chapter, we will present the basic
concepts of libigl and introduce a simple mesh viewer that allows to
visualize a surface mesh and its attributes. All the tutorial examples are
cross-platform and can be compiled on MacOSX, Linux and Windows.</p>
<h2 id="libigldesignprinciples">libigl design principles</h2>
<p>Before getting into the examples, we summarize the main design principles in
libigl:</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>No complex data types.</strong> We mostly use matrices and vectors. This greatly
favors code reusability and forces the function authors to expose all the
parameters used by the algorithm. </p></li>
<li><p><strong>Minimal dependencies.</strong> We use external libraries only when necessary and
we wrap them in a small set of functions.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Header-only.</strong> It is straight forward to use our library since it is only
one additional include directory in your project. (if you are worried about
compilation speed, it is also possible to build the library as a <a href="../optional/">static
library</a>)</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Function encapsulation.</strong> Every function (including its full
implementation) is contained in a pair of .h/.cpp files with the same name of
the function.</p></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="downloadinglibigl">Downloading libigl</h3>
<p>libigl can be downloaded from our <a href="https://github.com/libigl/libigl">github
repository</a> or cloned with git:</p>
<pre><code class="bash">git clone --recursive https://github.com/libigl/libigl.git
</code></pre>
<p>The core libigl functionality only depends on the C++ Standard Library and
Eigen.</p>
<p>To build all the examples in the tutorial, you can use the CMakeLists.txt in
the tutorial folder:</p>
<pre><code class="bash">cd tutorial
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
make
</code></pre>
<p>The examples can also be built independently using the CMakeLists.txt
inside each example folder.</p>
<p>A few examples in Chapter 5 requires the <a href="http://www.graphics.rwth-aachen.de/software/comiso">CoMiSo
solver</a> which has to be
downloaded and compiled separately.</p>
<h2 id="meshrepresentation">Mesh representation</h2>
<p>libigl uses the <a href="http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/">Eigen</a> library to encode vector
and matrices. We suggest that you keep the
<a href="http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__QuickRefPage.html">dense</a> and
<a href="http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/dox/group__SparseQuickRefPage.html">sparse</a> quick
reference guides at hand while you read the examples in this tutorial.</p>
<p>A triangular mesh is encoded as a pair of matrices:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">Eigen::MatrixXd V;
Eigen::MatrixXi F;
</code></pre>
<p><code>V</code> is a #N by 3 matrix which stores the coordinates of the vertices. Each
row stores the coordinate of a vertex, with its x,y and z coordinates in the first,
second and third column, respectively. The matrix <code>F</code> stores the triangle
connectivity: each line of <code>F</code> denotes a triangle whose 3 vertices are
represented as indices pointing to rows of <code>V</code>.</p>
<figure>
<img src="images/VF.png" alt="A simple mesh made of 2 triangles and 4 vertices." />
<figcaption>A simple mesh made of 2 triangles and 4 vertices.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Note that the order of the vertex indices in <code>F</code> determines the orientation of
the triangles and it should thus be consistent for the entire surface.
This simple representation has many advantages:</p>
<ol>
<li>it is memory efficient and cache friendly</li>
<li>the use of indices instead of pointers greatly simplifies debugging</li>
<li>the data can be trivially copied and serialized</li>
</ol>
<p>libigl provides input [output] functions to read [write] many common mesh formats.
The IO functions are contained in the files read*.h and write*.h. As a general
rule each libigl function is contained in a pair of .h/.cpp files with the same name.
By default, the .h files include the corresponding cpp files, making the library header-only.</p>
<p>Reading a mesh from a file requires a single libigl function call:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::readOFF("../shared/cube.off", V, F);
</code></pre>
<p>The function reads the mesh cube.off and it fills the provided <code>V</code> and <code>F</code> matrices.
Similarly, a mesh can be written in an OBJ file using:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::writeOBJ("cube.obj",V,F);
</code></pre>
<p><a href="101_FileIO/main.cpp">Example 101</a> contains a simple mesh
converter from OFF to OBJ format.</p>
<h2 id="visualizingsurfaces">Visualizing surfaces</h2>
<p>Libigl provides an glfw-based OpenGL 3.2 viewer to visualize surfaces, their
properties and additional debugging informations.</p>
<p>The following code (<a href="102_DrawMesh/main.cpp">Example 102</a>) is a basic skeleton
for all the examples that will be used in the tutorial.
It is a standalone application that loads a mesh and uses the viewer to
render it.</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">#include <igl/readOFF.h>
#include <igl/viewer/Viewer.h>
Eigen::MatrixXd V;
Eigen::MatrixXi F;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// Load a mesh in OFF format
igl::readOFF("../shared/bunny.off", V, F);
// Plot the mesh
igl::Viewer viewer;
viewer.data.set_mesh(V, F);
viewer.launch();
}
</code></pre>
<p>The function <code>set_mesh</code> copies the mesh into the viewer.
<code>Viewer.launch()</code> creates a window, an OpenGL context and it starts the draw loop.
Additional properties can be plotted on the mesh (as we will see later),
and it is possible to extend the viewer with standard OpenGL code.
Please see the documentation in
<a href="../include/igl/Viewer/Viewer.h">Viewer.h</a> for more details.</p>
<figure>

mesh." />

<h2 id="interactionwithkeyboardandmouse">Interaction with keyboard and mouse</h2>
<p>Keyboard and mouse events triggers callbacks that can be registered in the
viewer. The viewer supports the following callbacks:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">bool (*callback_pre_draw)(Viewer& viewer);
bool (*callback_post_draw)(Viewer& viewer);
bool (*callback_mouse_down)(Viewer& viewer, int button, int modifier);
bool (*callback_mouse_up)(Viewer& viewer, int button, int modifier);
bool (*callback_mouse_move)(Viewer& viewer, int mouse_x, int mouse_y);
bool (*callback_mouse_scroll)(Viewer& viewer, float delta_y);
bool (*callback_key_down)(Viewer& viewer, unsigned char key, int modifiers);
bool (*callback_key_up)(Viewer& viewer, unsigned char key, int modifiers);
</code></pre>
<p>A keyboard callback can be used to visualize multiple meshes or different
stages of an algorithm, as demonstrated in <a href="103_Events/main.cpp">Example 103</a>, where
the keyboard callback changes the visualized mesh depending on the key pressed:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">bool key_down(igl::Viewer& viewer, unsigned char key, int modifier)
{
if (key == '1')
{
viewer.data.clear();
viewer.data.set_mesh(V1, F1);
viewer.core.align_camera_center(V1,F1);
}
else if (key == '2')
{
viewer.data.clear();
viewer.data.set_mesh(V2, F2);
viewer.core.align_camera_center(V2,F2);
}
return false;
}
</code></pre>
<p>The callback is registered in the viewer as follows:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.callback_key_down = &key_down;
</code></pre>
<p>Note that the mesh is cleared before using set_mesh. This has to be called
every time the number of vertices or faces of the plotted mesh changes. Every
callback returns a boolean value that tells the viewer if the event has been
handled by the plugin, or if the viewer should process it normally. This is
useful, for example, to disable the default mouse event handling if you want to
control the camera directly in your code.</p>
<p>The viewer can be extended using plugins, which are classes that implements all
the viewer’s callbacks. See the
<a href="../include/igl/viewer/ViewerPlugin.h">Viewer_plugin</a> for more details.</p>
<h2 id="scalarfieldvisualization">Scalar field visualization</h2>
<p>Colors and normals can be associated to faces or vertices using the
set_colors function:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.data.set_colors(C);
</code></pre>
<p><code>C</code> is a #C by 3 matrix with one RGB color per row. <code>C</code> must have as many
rows as the number of faces <strong>or</strong> the number of vertices of the mesh.
Depending on the size of <code>C</code>, the viewer applies the color to the faces or to
the vertices.</p>
<p>Colors can be used to visualize a scalar function defined on a surface. The
scalar function is converted to colors using a color transfer function, which
maps a scalar value between 0 and 1 to a color. A simple example of a scalar
field defined on a surface is the z coordinate of each point, which can be
extract from our mesh representation by taking the last column of <code>V</code>
(<a href="104_Colors/main.cpp">Example 104</a>). The function <code>igl::jet</code> can be used to
convert it to colors:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">Eigen::VectorXd Z = V.col(2);
igl::jet(Z,true,C);
</code></pre>
<p>The first row extracts the third column from <code>V</code> (the z coordinate of each
vertex) and the second calls a libigl functions that converts a scalar field to colors. The second parameter of jet normalizes the scalar field to lie between 0 and 1 before applying the transfer function.</p>
<figure>
<img src="images/104_Colors.png" alt="(Example 104) igl::jet converts a scalar field to a
color field." />
<figcaption>(<a href="104_Colors/main.cpp">Example 104</a>) igl::jet converts a scalar field to a
color field.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p><code>igl::jet</code> is an example of a standard function in libigl: it takes simple
types and can be easily reused for many different tasks. Not committing to
heavy data structures types favors simplicity, ease of use and reusability.</p>
<h2 id="overlays">Overlays</h2>
<p>In addition to plotting the surface, the viewer supports the visualization of points, lines and text labels: these overlays can be very helpful while developing geometric processing algorithms to plot debug informations.</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.data.add_points(P,Eigen::RowVector3d(r,g,b));
</code></pre>
<p>Draws a point of color r,g,b for each row of P. The point is placed at the coordinates specified in each row of P, which is a #P by 3 matrix.</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.data.add_edges(P1,P2,Eigen::RowVector3d(r,g,b);
</code></pre>
<p>Draws a line of color r,g,b for each row of P1 and P2, which connects the 3D point in to the point in P2. Both P1 and P2 are of size #P by 3.</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.data.add_label(p,str);
</code></pre>
<p>Draws a label containing the string str at the position p, which is a vector of length 3.</p>
<p>These functions are demonstrate in <a href="105_Overlays/main.cpp">Example 105</a> where
the bounding box of a mesh is plotted using lines and points.
Using matrices to encode the mesh and its attributes allows to write short and
efficient code for many operations, avoiding to write for loops. For example,
the bounding box of a mesh can be found by taking the colwise maximum and minimum of <code>V</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">Eigen::Vector3d m = V.colwise().minCoeff();
Eigen::Vector3d M = V.colwise().maxCoeff();
</code></pre>
<figure>
<img src="images/105_Overlays.png" alt="(Example 105) The bounding box of a mesh is shown
using overlays." />
<figcaption>(<a href="105_Overlays/main.cpp">Example 105</a>) The bounding box of a mesh is shown
using overlays.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="viewermenu">Viewer Menu</h2>
<p>As of version 1.2 the viewer uses a new menu and completely replaces <a href="http://anttweakbar.sourceforge.net/doc/">AntTweakBar</a>. It is based on the open-source projects <a href="https://github.com/memononen/nanovg">nanovg</a> and <a href="https://github.com/wjakob/nanogui">nanogui</a>. To extend the default menu of the viewer and to expose more user defined variables you have to define a callback function:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::viewer::Viewer viewer;
bool boolVariable = true;
float floatVariable = 0.1f;
// extend viewer menu
viewer.callback_init = [&](igl::viewer::Viewer& viewer)
{
// add new group
viewer.ngui->addNewGroup("New Group");
// expose variables
viewer.ngui->addVariable(boolVariable,"bool");
viewer.ngui->addVariable(floatVariable,"float");
// add button
viewer.ngui->addButton("Print Hello",[](){ cout << "Hello\n"; });
// call to generate menu
viewer.ngui->layout();
return false;
};
// start viewer
viewer.launch();
</code></pre>
<p>If you need a separate new menu window use:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.ngui->addNewWindow(Eigen::Vector2i(220,10),"New Window");
</code></pre>
<p>You can also switch between different orientation of the layout:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">// horizontal alignment
viewer.ngui->addNewGroup("New Group",nanogui::FormScreen::Layout::Horizontal);
viewer.ngui->addButton("Print Test1",[](){ cout << "Test1\n"; });
viewer.ngui->addButton("Print Test2",[](){ cout << "Test2\n"; });
// vertical alignment
viewer.ngui->setCurrentLayout(nanogui::FormScreen::Layout::Vertical);
viewer.ngui->addVariable(boolVariable,"bool");
viewer.ngui->addVariable(floatVariable,"float");
</code></pre>
<p>If you do not want to expose variables directly but rather use the get/set functionality:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">viewer.ngui->addVariable([&](bool val) {
boolVariable = val; // set
},[&]() {
return boolVariable; // get
},"bool",true);
</code></pre>
<figure>
<img src="images/106_ViewerMenu.png" alt="(Example 106) The UI of the viewer can be easily customized." />
<figcaption>(<a href="106_ViewerMenu/main.cpp">Example 106</a>) The UI of the viewer can be easily customized.</figcaption>

<h1 id="chapter2:discretegeometricquantitiesandoperators">Chapter 2: Discrete Geometric Quantities and Operators</h1>
<p>This chapter illustrates a few discrete quantities that libigl can compute on a
mesh and the libigl functions that construct popular discrete differential
geometry operators. It also provides an introduction to basic drawing and coloring routines of our viewer.</p>
<h2 id="normals">Normals</h2>
<p>Surface normals are a basic quantity necessary for rendering a surface. There
are a variety of ways to compute and store normals on a triangle mesh. <a href="201_Normals/main.cpp">Example 201</a> demonstrates how to compute and visualize normals with libigl.</p>
<h3 id="per-face">Per-face</h3>
<p>Normals are well defined on each triangle of a mesh as the vector orthogonal to
triangle’s plane. These piecewise-constant normals produce piecewise-flat
renderings: the surface appears non-smooth and reveals its underlying
discretization.</p>
<h3 id="per-vertex">Per-vertex</h3>
<p>Normals can be computed and stored on vertices, and interpolated in the interior of the triangles to produce smooth renderings (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phong_shading">Phong shading</a>).
Most techniques for computing per-vertex normals take an average of incident face normals. The main difference between these techniques is their weighting scheme: Uniform
weighting is heavily biased by the discretization choice, whereas area-based
or angle-based weighting is more forgiving.</p>
<p>The typical half-edge style computation of area-based weights has this structure:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">N.setZero(V.rows(),3);
for(int i : vertices)
{
for(face : incident_faces(i))
{
N.row(i) += face.area * face.normal;
}
}
N.rowwise().normalize();
</code></pre>
<p>At first glance, it might seem inefficient to loop over incident faces—and thus constructing the per-vertex normals— without using an half-edge data structure. However, per-vertex normals may be <em>throwing</em> each face normal to
running sums on its corner vertices:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">N.setZero(V.rows(),3);
for(int f = 0; f < F.rows();f++)
{
for(int c = 0; c < 3;c++)
{
N.row(F(f,c)) += area(f) * face_normal.row(f);
}
}
N.rowwise().normalize();
</code></pre>
<h3 id="per-corner">Per-corner</h3>
<p>Storing normals per-corner is an efficient and convenient way of supporting both
smooth and sharp (e.g. creases and corners) rendering. This format is common to
OpenGL and the .obj mesh file format. Often such normals are tuned by the mesh
designer, but creases and corners can also be computed automatically. Libigl
implements a simple scheme which computes corner normals as averages of
normals of faces incident on the corresponding vertex which do not deviate by more than a specified dihedral angle (e.g. 20°).</p>
<figure>

per-corner (right) normals" />
<figcaption>The <code>Normals</code> example computes per-face (left), per-vertex (middle) and
per-corner (right) normals</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="gaussiancurvature">Gaussian curvature</h2>
<p>Gaussian curvature on a continuous surface is defined as the product of the
principal curvatures:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(k_G = k_1 k_2.\)</span></p>
<p>As an <em>intrinsic</em> measure, it depends on the metric and
not the surface’s embedding.</p>
<p>Intuitively, Gaussian curvature tells how locally spherical or <em>elliptic</em> the
surface is ( <span class="math">\(k_G>0\)</span> ), how locally saddle-shaped or <em>hyperbolic</em> the surface
is ( <span class="math">\(k_G<0\)</span> ), or how locally cylindrical or <em>parabolic</em> ( <span class="math">\(k_G=0\)</span> ) the
surface is.</p>
<p>In the discrete setting, one definition for a “discrete Gaussian curvature”
on a triangle mesh is via a vertex’s <em>angular deficit</em>:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(k_G(v_i) = 2π - \sum\limits_{j\in N(i)}θ_{ij},\)</span></p>
<p>where <span class="math">\(N(i)\)</span> are the triangles incident on vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span> and <span class="math">\(θ_{ij}\)</span> is the angle
at vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span> in triangle <span class="math">\(j\)</span> <a class="citation" href="#fn:1" title="Jump to citation">[1]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">meyer_2003</span></a>.</p>
<p>Just like the continuous analog, our discrete Gaussian curvature reveals
elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic vertices on the domain, as demonstrated in <a href="202GaussianCurvature/main.cpp">Example 202</a>.</p>
<figure>
<img src="images/bumpy-gaussian-curvature.jpg" alt="The GaussianCurvature example computes discrete Gaussian curvature and
visualizes it in pseudocolor." />
<figcaption>The <code>GaussianCurvature</code> example computes discrete Gaussian curvature and
visualizes it in pseudocolor.</figcaption>
</figure>
<h2 id="curvaturedirections">Curvature directions</h2>
<p>The two principal curvatures <span class="math">\((k_1,k_2)\)</span> at a point on a surface measure how
much the surface bends in different directions. The directions of maximum and
minimum (signed) bending are called principal directions and are always
orthogonal.</p>
<p>Mean curvature is defined as the average of principal curvatures:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(H = \frac{1}{2}(k_1 + k_2).\)</span></p>
<p>One way to extract mean curvature is by examining the Laplace-Beltrami operator
applied to the surface positions. The result is a so-called mean-curvature
normal:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(-\Delta \mathbf{x} = H \mathbf{n}.\)</span></p>
<p>It is easy to compute this on a discrete triangle mesh in libigl using the
cotangent Laplace-Beltrami operator <a class="citation" href="#fn:1" title="Jump to citation">[1]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">meyer_2003</span></a>.</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">#include <igl/cotmatrix.h>
#include <igl/massmatrix.h>
#include <igl/invert_diag.h>
...
MatrixXd HN;
SparseMatrix<double> L,M,Minv;
igl::cotmatrix(V,F,L);
igl::massmatrix(V,F,igl::MASSMATRIX_TYPE_VORONOI,M);
igl::invert_diag(M,Minv);
HN = -Minv*(L*V);
H = HN.rowwise().norm(); //up to sign
</code></pre>
<p>Combined with the angle defect definition of discrete Gaussian curvature, one
can define principal curvatures and use least squares fitting to find
directions <a class="citation" href="#fn:1" title="Jump to citation">[1]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">meyer_2003</span></a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively, a robust method for determining principal curvatures is via
quadric fitting <a class="citation" href="#fn:2" title="Jump to citation">[2]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">panozzo_2010</span></a>. In the neighborhood around every vertex, a
best-fit quadric is found and principal curvature values and directions are
analytically computed on this quadric (<a href="203_curvatureDirections/main.cpp">Example
203</a>).</p>
<figure>
<img src="images/fertility-principal-curvature.jpg" alt="The CurvatureDirections example computes principal curvatures via quadric
fitting and visualizes mean curvature in pseudocolor and principal directions
with a cross field." />
<figcaption>The <code>CurvatureDirections</code> example computes principal curvatures via quadric
fitting and visualizes mean curvature in pseudocolor and principal directions

</figure>
<h2 id="gradient">Gradient</h2>
<p>Scalar functions on a surface can be discretized as a piecewise linear function
with values defined at each mesh vertex:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(f(\mathbf{x}) \approx \sum\limits_{i=1}^n \phi_i(\mathbf{x})\, f_i,\)</span></p>
<p>where <span class="math">\(\phi_i\)</span> is a piecewise linear hat function defined by the mesh so that
for each triangle <span class="math">\(\phi_i\)</span> is <em>the</em> linear function which is one only at
vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span> and zero at the other corners.</p>
<figure>
<img src="images/hat-function.jpg" alt="Hat function $\phi_i$ is one at vertex $i$, zero at all other vertices, and
linear on incident triangles." />
<figcaption>Hat function <span class="math">\(\phi_i\)</span> is one at vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span>, zero at all other vertices, and
linear on incident triangles.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Thus gradients of such piecewise linear functions are simply sums of gradients
of the hat functions:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\nabla f(\mathbf{x}) \approx
\nabla \sum\limits_{i=1}^n \phi_i(\mathbf{x})\, f_i =
\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \nabla \phi_i(\mathbf{x})\, f_i.\)</span></p>
<p>This reveals that the gradient is a linear function of the vector of <span class="math">\(f_i\)</span>
values. Because the <span class="math">\(\phi_i\)</span> are linear in each triangle, their gradients are
<em>constant</em> in each triangle. Thus our discrete gradient operator can be written
as a matrix multiplication taking vertex values to triangle values:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\nabla f \approx \mathbf{G}\,\mathbf{f},\)</span></p>
<p>where <span class="math">\(\mathbf{f}\)</span> is <span class="math">\(n\times 1\)</span> and <span class="math">\(\mathbf{G}\)</span> is an <span class="math">\(md\times n\)</span> sparse
matrix. This matrix <span class="math">\(\mathbf{G}\)</span> can be derived geometrically, e.g.
<a class="citation" href="#fn:3" title="Jump to citation">[<span class="locator">ch. 2</span>, 3]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">jacobson_thesis_2013</span></a>.
Libigl’s <code>grad</code> function computes <span class="math">\(\mathbf{G}\)</span> for
triangle and tetrahedral meshes (<a href="204_Gradient/main.cpp">Example 204</a>):</p>

</figure>
<h2 id="laplacian">Laplacian</h2>
<p>The discrete Laplacian is an essential geometry processing tool. Many
interpretations and flavors of the Laplace and Laplace-Beltrami operator exist.</p>
<p>In open Euclidean space, the <em>Laplace</em> operator is the usual divergence of
gradient (or equivalently the Laplacian of a function is the trace of its
Hessian):</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\Delta f =
\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} +
\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} +
\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z^2}.\)</span></p>
<p>The <em>Laplace-Beltrami</em> operator generalizes this to surfaces.</p>
<p>When considering piecewise-linear functions on a triangle mesh, a discrete
Laplacian may be derived in a variety of ways. The most popular in geometry
processing is the so-called “cotangent Laplacian” <span class="math">\(\mathbf{L}\)</span>, arising
simultaneously from FEM, DEC and applying divergence theorem to vertex
one-rings. As a linear operator taking vertex values to vertex values, the
Laplacian <span class="math">\(\mathbf{L}\)</span> is a <span class="math">\(n\times n\)</span> matrix with elements:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(L_{ij} = \begin{cases}j \in N(i) &\cot \alpha_{ij} + \cot \beta_{ij},\\
j \notin N(i) & 0,\\
i = j & -\sum\limits_{k\neq i} L_{ik},
\end{cases}\)</span></p>
<p>where <span class="math">\(N(i)\)</span> are the vertices adjacent to (neighboring) vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span>, and
<span class="math">\(\alpha_{ij},\beta_{ij}\)</span> are the angles opposite to edge <span class="math">\({ij}\)</span>.
This formula leads to a typical half-edge style implementation for
constructing <span class="math">\(\mathbf{L}\)</span>:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">for(int i : vertices)
{
for(int j : one_ring(i))
{
for(int k : triangle_on_edge(i,j))
{
L(i,j) = cot(angle(i,j,k));
L(i,i) -= cot(angle(i,j,k));
}
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Similarly as before, it may seem to loop over one-rings without having an half-edge data structure. However, this is not the case, since the Laplacian may be built by summing together contributions for each triangle, much in spirit with its FEM discretization
of the Dirichlet energy (sum of squared gradients):</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">for(triangle t : triangles)
{
for(edge i,j : t)
{

<p>Libigl implements discrete “cotangent” Laplacians for triangles meshes and
tetrahedral meshes, building both with fast geometric rules rather than “by the
book” FEM construction which involves many (small) matrix inversions, cf.
<a class="citation" href="#fn:4" title="Jump to citation">[4]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">sharf_2007</span></a>.</p>
<p>The operator applied to mesh vertex positions amounts to smoothing by <em>flowing</em>
the surface along the mean curvature normal direction (<a href="205_Laplacian/main.cpp">Example 205</a>). Note that this is equivalent to minimizing surface area.</p>

<h3 id="massmatrix">Mass matrix</h3>
<p>The mass matrix <span class="math">\(\mathbf{M}\)</span> is another <span class="math">\(n \times n\)</span> matrix which takes vertex
values to vertex values. From an FEM point of view, it is a discretization of
the inner-product: it accounts for the area around each vertex. Consequently,
<span class="math">\(\mathbf{M}\)</span> is often a diagonal matrix, such that <span class="math">\(M_{ii}\)</span> is the barycentric
or voronoi area around vertex <span class="math">\(i\)</span> in the mesh <a class="citation" href="#fn:1" title="Jump to citation">[1]<span class="citekey" style="display:none">meyer_2003</span></a>. The inverse of
this matrix is also very useful as it transforms integrated quantities into
point-wise quantities, e.g.:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\Delta f \approx \mathbf{M}^{-1} \mathbf{L} \mathbf{f}.\)</span></p>
<p>In general, when encountering squared quantities integrated over the surface,
the mass matrix will be used as the discretization of the inner product when
sampling function values at vertices:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\int_S x\, y\ dA \approx \mathbf{x}^T\mathbf{M}\,\mathbf{y}.\)</span></p>
<p>An alternative mass matrix <span class="math">\(\mathbf{T}\)</span> is a <span class="math">\(md \times md\)</span> matrix which takes
triangle vector values to triangle vector values. This matrix represents an
inner-product accounting for the area associated with each triangle (i.e. the
triangles true area).</p>
<h3 id="alternativeconstructionoflaplacian">Alternative construction of Laplacian</h3>
<p>An alternative construction of the discrete cotangent Laplacian is by
“squaring” the discrete gradient operator. This may be derived by applying
Green’s identity (ignoring boundary conditions for the moment):</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\int_S \|\nabla f\|^2 dA = \int_S f \Delta f dA\)</span></p>
<p>Or in matrix form which is immediately translatable to code:</p>
<p><span class="math">\(\mathbf{f}^T \mathbf{G}^T \mathbf{T} \mathbf{G} \mathbf{f} =
\mathbf{f}^T \mathbf{M} \mathbf{M}^{-1} \mathbf{L} \mathbf{f} =
\mathbf{f}^T \mathbf{L} \mathbf{f}.\)</span></p>
<p>So we have that <span class="math">\(\mathbf{L} = \mathbf{G}^T \mathbf{T} \mathbf{G}\)</span>. This also
hints that we may consider <span class="math">\(\mathbf{G}^T\)</span> as a discrete <em>divergence</em> operator,
since the Laplacian is the divergence of the gradient. Naturally, <span class="math">\(\mathbf{G}^T\)</span> is
a <span class="math">\(n \times md\)</span> sparse matrix which takes vector values stored at triangle faces
to scalar divergence values at vertices.</p>

<p>Libigl relies heavily on the Eigen library for dense and sparse linear algebra
routines. Besides geometry processing routines, libigl has linear algebra
routines which bootstrap Eigen and make it feel even more similar to a high-level
algebra library such as Matlab.</p>
<h2 id="slice">Slice</h2>
<p>A very familiar and powerful routine in Matlab is array slicing. This allows
reading from or writing to a possibly non-contiguous sub-matrix. Let’s consider
the Matlab code:</p>
<pre><code class="matlab">B = A(R,C);
</code></pre>
<p>If <code>A</code> is a <span class="math">\(m \times n\)</span> matrix and <code>R</code> is a <span class="math">\(j\)</span>-long list of row-indices
(between 1 and <span class="math">\(m\)</span>) and <code>C</code> is a <span class="math">\(k\)</span>-long list of column-indices, then as a
result <code>B</code> will be a <span class="math">\(j \times k\)</span> matrix drawing elements from <code>A</code> according to
<code>R</code> and <code>C</code>. In libigl, the same functionality is provided by the <code>slice</code>
function (<a href="301_Slice/main.cpp">Example 301</a>):</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">VectorXi R,C;
MatrixXd A,B;
...
igl::slice(A,R,C,B);
</code></pre>
<p>Note that <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> could also be sparse matrices.</p>
<p>Similarly, consider the Matlab code:</p>
<pre><code class="matlab">A(R,C) = B;
</code></pre>
<p>Now, the selection is on the left-hand side so the <span class="math">\(j \times k\)</span> matrix <code>B</code> is
being <em>written into</em> the submatrix of <code>A</code> determined by <code>R</code> and <code>C</code>. This
functionality is provided in libigl using <code>slice_into</code>:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::slice_into(B,R,C,A);
</code></pre>

<h2 id="sort">Sort</h2>
<p>Matlab and other higher-level languages make it very easy to extract indices of
sorting and comparison routines. For example in Matlab, one can write:</p>
<pre><code class="matlab">[Y,I] = sort(X,1,'ascend');
</code></pre>
<p>so if <code>X</code> is a <span class="math">\(m \times n\)</span> matrix then <code>Y</code> will also be an <span class="math">\(m \times n\)</span> matrix
with entries sorted along dimension <code>1</code> in <code>'ascend'</code>ing order. The second
output <code>I</code> is a <span class="math">\(m \times n\)</span> matrix of indices such that <code>Y(i,j) =
X(I(i,j),j);</code>. That is, <code>I</code> reveals how <code>X</code> is sorted into <code>Y</code>.</p>
<p>This same functionality is supported in libigl:</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::sort(X,1,true,Y,I);
</code></pre>
<p>Similarly, sorting entire rows can be accomplished in Matlab using:</p>
<pre><code class="matlab">[Y,I] = sortrows(X,'ascend');
</code></pre>
<p>where now <code>I</code> is a <span class="math">\(m\)</span> vector of indices such that <code>Y = X(I,:)</code>.</p>
<p>In libigl, this is supported with</p>
<pre><code class="cpp">igl::sortrows(X,true,Y,I);
</code></pre>
<p>where again <code>I</code> reveals the index of sort so that it can be reproduced with
<code>igl::slice(X,I,1,Y)</code>.</p>
<p>Analogous functions are available in libigl for: <code>max</code>, <code>min</code>, and <code>unique</code>.</p>
