  • Implicit shapes can be constructed from point clouds using generalized winding numbers from libIGL.
  • SurfaceMesh instances can be updated through flip operations.
  • Lattice polytopes describing segments or triangles can be constructed in a much more efficient manner.
  • Update of the Discrete Polygonal Calculus module to construct a calculus on a corrected geometry (when the discrete tangent planes are given by user-provided normal vectors).
  • A brand new style for the DGtal documentation.
  • DGtal now requires C++17 compilers.

• DGtalTools/DGtalTools-contrib:

  • New volscope tool in DGtalTools for quick visualization of VOL files.
  • New tools to edit and color meshes in DGtaltools-contrib (polyMeshEdit and polyMeshColorize)

Release 1.1

Blog Post of the release 🎉

DGtal 1.1

New Features / Critical Changes

• Project

  • For this release, we have cleaned up the git history (using bfg),
    removing old deprecated files or commit errors. For a complete description,
    please follow the discussion of Issue #1477.
    If you are doing a clean git clone of the project, or use the release archive,
    everything should be fine. If you have branches on the release 1.1beta, you
    would need to reset your current working copy. For instance, if
    you have cloned the DGtal-team/DGtal repository, just reset your
    master branch using:

    git fetch origin
    git reset --hard origin/master
    

    If you have cloned a fork of DGtal-team/DGtal (i.e. the origin
    remote correspond to your fork and not the DGtal-team one), Fetch
    the DGtal-team remote (nammed DGtal here):

    git fetch DGtal
    git reset --hard DGtal/master
    

    For advanced developers
    If there are some branches out there you want to "update" to the new history:
    First go to unmerged branch and copy the SHA of the commits you want to get. Or, if they are consecutive, copy the oldest and newest SHA.

    git checkout master #Updated to new history
    git checkout -b myOpenPR_after_new_history
    git cherry-pick oldestSha^..newestSha

• Image package

  • Adding ConstImageFunctorHolder to transform any callable object
    (e.g. function, functor, lambda function,...) into a CConstImage model.
