Introduction

This project is part of my siv.ing. degree at the Dept. of Informatics, the University of Oslo, 2002.

The paper contains an introduction to the Q-Morph algorithm, as described in the paper "Advancing Front Quadrilateral Meshing Using Triangle Transformations" by S.J. Owen, M.L. Staten, S.A. Canann, and S. Saigal, as well as important background material, discussions of aspects of the implementation, important results, figures of example meshes, references, etc.

The project also includes a Java implementation of the Q-Morph algorithm with a GUI I have called 'MeshDitor'. This was my first Java project.

Directory structure

The paper is found in the docs/ directory.

The source code is found in the src/ directory.

Source code documentation can be generated by running make javadoc in the root folder.

To ensure that the implementation works as described, it has been tested on a number of different meshes. Illustrations for some of the meshes are found in the paper, including discussion.

The meshes are found in the examples/ directory.

Building and running

Run make to build the source code and documentation.

To start the MeshDitor code, run java -jar meshditor.jar in the bin/ directory, or simply run

make run

in the src/ directory. To test the Java Native Interface code, run

make jnirun

or go to the bin/ directory and execute

./qmorph

with or without options or parameters.
