13. 2D Polygons

13.1. ccFacets

class cloudComPy.ccFacet

Bases: ccHObject

Facet: Composite object: point cloud + 2D1/2 contour polyline + 2D1/2 surface mesh

static Create(cloud: _cloudComPy.GenericIndexedCloudPersist, maxEdgeLength: float = 0, transferOwnership: bool = False, planeEquation: List[float] = []) _cloudComPy.ccFacet

Creates a facet from a set of points.

The facet boundary can either be the convex hull (maxEdgeLength = 0) or the concave hull (maxEdgeLength > 0).

Parameters
  • cloud (GenericIndexedCloudPersist) – cloud from which to create the facet

  • maxEdgeLength (int,optional) – max edge length (if possible - ignored if 0), default 0.

  • transferOwnership (bool,optional) – if true and the input cloud is a ccPointCloud, it will be ‘kept’ as ‘origin points’. default False.

  • planeEquation (tuple(float),optional) – to input a custom plane equation: [a, b, c, d] as ‘ax+by+cz=d’, default []

Returns

a facet (or 0 if an error occurred)

Return type

ccFacet

__init__(*args, **kwargs)
addChild(self: _cloudComPy.ccHObject, child: _cloudComPy.ccHObject, dependencyFlags: int = <DEPENDENCY_FLAGS.DP_NONE: 0>, insertIndex: int = -1) bool

Adds a child.

warning the C++ default for DEPENDENCY_FLAGS (DP_PARENT_OF_OTHER) is replaced by DP_NONE in Python: The other values may induce a delete of the original child object in C++, not handled correctly on the Python side.

Parameters
  • child (ccHObject) – child instance to append to the child list

  • dependencyFlags (DEPENDENCY_FLAGS,optional) – dependency flags, default DP_NONE

  • insertIndex (int,optional) – insertion index, default -1: if <0, child is simply appended to the children list.
