## Important Tips

πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘ We also have 3D version of "TriWild" - **TetWild**! It's the parent of TriWild. TetWild can generate linear tetrahedral meshes robustly and automatically. Check it out πŸ‘‰ **[TetWild](https://github.com/Yixin-Hu/TetWild)**.

πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘ If you are interested in the algorithm details, please refer to our **[paper](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3306346.3323011)** first. We provide plenty of examples and statistics in the paper.

πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘Quickly try TriWild on some small exmaples here!!

### 20k Openclip Dataset

Input: [19686 meshes (.obj) each with a curved feature file (.json)](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yhrJtfCVMahwgPc0pmX0D8GAJgZ9M7v9/view?usp=sharing)

(For your reference, [here](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1RWzbLKqXeWIQeNYaAfzE8BEcqJZ0R6b6) is original 20k SVG images. Those with animation are not converted to obj/json.)

Output with curved constrains: [19685 meshes (.msh)](https://drive.google.com/open?id=189OP5v5EJNP9QMqpWw_XuGRK_MjMThuJ)

Output with linear constrains(todo James): [19686 meshes (.msh)]()

## Installation

You can use TriWild either by pulling a Docker image or compiling the source code with CMake.

### via Docker

Install Docker and run Docker. Pull TetWild Docker image and run the binary:

```bash
docker pull yixinhu/triwild
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/data yixinhu/triwild /app/TriWild/build/TriWild [TriWild arguments]
```

### via CMake
Our code was originally developed on MacOS and has been tested on Linux and Windows. We provide the commands for installing TriWild in Unix OS:

- Clone the repository into your local machine:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/wildmeshing/TriWild
```
- Compile the code using cmake (default in Release mode):

```bash
cd TriWild
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j
```

- Check the installation:

```bash
./TriWild --help
```
This command should show a list of TriWild parameters.

## Usage

**Input**:

- Linear constraints (required): segment soup in `.obj` format.

- Curved constraints: Bezier curves in `.json` format.

**Output**: Linear/high-order triangle mesh in `.msh` format.

Please check dataset above for examples.

### Quick Try

You can try TriWIld quickly with default parameters by running

```
./TriWild --input input.obj
```
for linear constrains, or

```
./TriWild --input input.obj --feature-input input.json
```
for curved constrains.

### Command Line Switches

```
Usage: ./TriWild [OPTIONS]

Options:
-h,--help Print this help message and exit
--input TEXT (REQUIRED) Input segments in .obj format.
--output TEXT Output path.
--postfix TEXT Add postfix into outputs' file name.
--feature-input TEXT Input feature json file.
--stop-quality FLOAT Specify max AMIPS energy for stopping mesh optimization.
--max-its INT Max number of mesh optimization iterations.
--stage INT Specify envelope stage
--envelope-r FLOAT relative envelope epsilon_r. Absolute epsilonn = epsilon_r * diagonal_of_bbox
--feature-envelope-r FLOAT Relative feature envelope mu_r. Absolute mu = mu_r * diagonal_of_bbox
--target-edge-length FLOAT Absolute target edge length l.
--target-edge-length-r FLOAT
Relative target edge length l_r. Absolute l = l_r * diagonal_of_bbox
--log-file TEXT Output a log file.
--min-angle FLOAT Desired minimal angle.
--mute-log Mute prints.
--cut-outside Remove "outside part".
--skip-eps Skip saving eps.
--cut-holes TEXT Input a .xyz file for specifying points inside holes you want to remove.
--output-linear-mesh Output linear mesh for curved pipeline.
```

More details about some important parameters:

* **`--feature-input`**

We provide a [python script](https://github.com/teseoch/svg2obj) for converting a svg to curves in `.json` format.

* **`--envelope`**

Relative surface envelope (1e-3 in default). Absolute surface envelope , where is the length of the diagonal of the bounding box of input.

* **`--feature-envelope`**

Relative feature envelope (1e-3 in default with linear constraints and 2e-3 for curved constraints). Absolute feature envelope .

* **`--target-edge-length-r`**

Relative targeted edge length (0.05 in default). Absolute targeted edge length .
