README

        
The **_Visualization and Computer Graphics Library_** (VCGlib for short) is an open source, portable, and templated library written in C++, with no external dependencies, for manipulation, processing, cleaning, and simplifying triangle meshes.

[![BuildExamples](https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib/actions/workflows/BuildExamples.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/vcglib/actions/workflows/BuildExamples.yml)

The library, composed by more than 100k lines of code, is released under the GPL license, and it is the base of most of the software tools of the [Visual Computing Lab](http://vcg.isti.cnr.it) of the Italian National Research Council Institute - ISTI, like [MeshLab](http://www.meshlab.net/), [Metro](http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/vcglib/metro.html) and many others.

The VCG library is tailored to mostly manage triangular meshes: The library is fairly large and offers many state-of-the-art capabilities for processing meshes, such as:

- high quality quadric-error edge-collapse based simplfication

- efficient spatial query structures (uniform grids, hashed grids, kdtree, etc)

- advanced smoothing and fairing algorithms

- computation of curvature

- optimization of texture coordinates

- Hausdorff distance computation

- geodesic paths

- mesh repairing capabilities

- isosurface extraction and advancing front meshing algorithms

- Poisson Disk sampling and other tools to sample point distributions over meshes

- subdivision surfaces

## Notable Applications

A number of applications have been developed using the VCGlib:

- MeshLab: the renowed open source mesh processing software

- Metro, the tool for measuring differences between meshes

- The first high quality out-of-core mesh simplifier that was used by the Stanford Digital Michelangelo project to process their huge 3D scanned models.
