Subject: New version Morpho (2.0.1) on CRAN; Rvcg (0.7.1) now on CRAN
To: [email protected]

Dear all,

I released a new version of Morpho (2.0.1) on CRAN. The most important change is that you won't need to install the additional command line tools anymore (with significant speed gains).

Other changes are:
  • 'createAtlas' has new option "keep.fix" to specifiy landmarks that should be kept from sliding in case corrCurves are defined.
  • wrote C++ implementation of 'covPCA' (much faster) to calculate PC-scores from distances between covariance matrices and added bootstrapping option to compute confidence intervals for PC-scores (removed obsolete options "mc.cores" and "scores")
  • all functions calling trimesh-tools are now wrappers for much faster implementations from Rvcg
  • placePatch now runs in parallel
  • warpmovie3d now allows make movie of deformed mesh AND landmark

My new package Rvcg (version 0.7.1) is now on CRAN and takes care of most of the meshing stuff involved (it is quite fast and based on the C++ routines from MeshLab - http://vcg.sf.net/). Currently, it is sporting the following functions:

vcgBary

get barycenters of all faces of a triangular mesh

vcgBorder

find all border vertices and faces of a triangular mesh

vcgClean

Clean triangular surface meshes

vcgClost

Project coordinates onto a target triangular surface mesh.

vcgClostKD

Project coordinates onto a target triangular surface mesh using KD-tree search

vcgCurve

calculate curvature of a triangular mesh

vcgGetEdge

Get all edges of a triangular mesh

vcgImport

Import common mesh file formats (e.g. OBJ, STL, PLY)

vcgIsolated

Remove isolated pieces from a surface mesh.

vcgKDtree

perform kdtree search for 3D-coordinates.

vcgMeshres

calculates the average edge length of a triangular mesh

vcgNonBorderEdge

Get all non-border edges

vcgPlyRead

Import ascii or binary PLY files.

vcgPlyWrite

Export meshes to PLY-files

vcgQEdecim

Performs Quadric Edge Decimation on triangular meshes.

vcgRaySearch

check if a mesh is intersected by a set of rays

vcgSample

Subsample points on a mesh surface

vcgSmooth

Smooth a triangular mesh

vcgUpdateNormals

update vertex normals of a triangular meshes or point clouds

vcgVFadj

find all faces belonging to each vertex in a mesh



And, as always, you can track the ongoing development on github (https://github.com/zarquon42b) or sourceforge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/morpho-rpackage/)
and install it with the R-package "devtools" by issueing the command install_github("zarquon42b/Morpho") or install_github("zarquon42b/Rvcg") resepctively.

All the best
Stefan
