OpenMesh is a generic and efficient data structure for representing and manipulating polygonal meshes. It was designed with the following goals in mind:

  • Flexibility: provide a basis for many different algorithms without the need for adaptation.

  • Efficiency: maximize time efficiency while keeping memory usage as low as possible.

  • Ease of use: wrap complex internal structure in an easy-to-use interface.

OpenMesh provides the following features:

  • Representation of arbitrary polygonal (the general case) and pure triangle meshes (providing more efficient, specialized algorithms)

  • Explicit representation of vertices, halfedges, edges and faces.

  • Fast neighborhood access, especially the one-ring neighborhood

  • Highly customizable

    • Choose your coordinate type (dimension and scalar type)
    • Attach user-defined elements/functions to the mesh elements.
    • Attach and check for attributes
    • Attach data at runtime using dynamic properties.
