GEOMLib - 3D CSG Geometry Library for MATLAB® and GNU Octave
============================================================

**GEOMLib** is a 2D and 3D geometry library for MATLAB® and GNU Octave
allowing _mesh based_ CSG (Composite Solid Geometry) operations.

Originally developed for use with the [FEATool Multiphysics](https://www.featool.com)
FEA simulation toolbox, but now replaced with the OpenCASCADE geometry
kernel to support BREP CAD geometry support.

Installation
------------

Download and copy the library to a folder. Start MATLAB® or Octave and
start the `runtests` script (or `runtests 1` for verbose output) to
run the test and validation suite.

Examples
--------

1. 2D example of the union of a circle and unit square

% Create circle
c1 = gobj_circle([0, 0], 0.5, 'C1');
c1 = convert_gobj_polygons( c1, 1 );
c1 = csg_op( c1, 'b' );

% Create unit square
r1 = gobj_rectangle(0, 1, 0, 1, 'R1');
r1 = convert_gobj_polygons( r1, 2 );
r1 = csg_op( r1, 'b' );

% Join circle and square
[res,~,stat] = csg_op( c1, r1, '+' );

% Visualize result
csg_op(res, 'v')

2. 3D subtraction of a sphere from a unit cube

% Create sphere
s1 = gobj_sphere([0, 0, 1], 0.5, 'S1');
s1 = convert_gobj_polygons( s1, 1 );
s1 = csg_op( s1, 'b' );

% Create unit cube
b1 = gobj_block(0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 'B1');
b1 = convert_gobj_polygons( b1, 2 );
b1 = csg_op( b1, 'b' );

% Subtracting sphere from cube
[res,~,stat] = csg_op( b1, s1, '-' );

% Visualize result
csg_op(res, 'v')

3. For more examples see the tests in the _test_ directory.

Functions
---------

% Main CSG functions:

csg_op - apply CSG operation on polygons
csg_polygon_recombination - recombine and tessellate polygons
csg_polygon_tesselation - recombine and tessellate polygons

% Geometry object primitives:

gobj_block - create block
gobj_circle - create circle
gobj_cylinder - create cylinder
gobj_ellipse - create ellipse
gobj_polygon - create polygon
gobj_rectangle - create rectangle
gobj_sphere - create sphere

% Geometry utility and help functions:

convert_gobj_polygons - extract polygons from geometry object
deduplicate - remove duplicate rows or columns within tolerance
uunique - unsorted set unique
