lumeview
Introduction
lumeview (Lightweight Unstructured MEshes VIEWer) is a BSD licensed C++ application for the visualization of unstructured hybrid meshes (or unstructured hybrid grids).
Supported mesh-element types are: Vertices, Edges, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Tetrahedra, Pyramids, Prisms, Hexahedra.
lumeview is based on OpenGL and uses external libraries like glfw, and imgui for rendering and user interaction. The underlying mesh-library is lume (https://github.com/sreiter/lume).
lumeview comes as a self contained repository with all dependencies included. Building lumeview should thus be straight forward (see below for more details).
PLEASE NOTE: lumeview is still in development and not yet feature complete.
For a more versatile mesh viewer and editor, albeit more heavyweight and a bit slower, you may also want to consider ProMesh: www.promesh3d.com or https://github.com/sreiter/ProMesh
Building lumeview
lumeview requires a C++ 11 compatible compiler. In the lumeview root folder, create a 'build' directory. From that 'build' directory, execute the following commands to build and execute lumeview (example for unix-like environments):
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j
./lumeview
lumeview works with the Visual Studio Compilers on Windows, too. Instead of make -j you may open the generated project-files with Visual Studio and compile them there (or use nmake/jom).
Building lumeview for Java through JNI
lumeview can also be used as a mesh viewer inside Java applications through the Java Native Interface. To this end, lumeview has to be built with the JNI option enabled:
cmake -DJNI=ON ..
make -j
or similar on non-unix systems. A sample Java application is provided with lumeview in lumeview/java_binding_sample. Once lumeview has been built with -DJNI=ON, you may run the following command from inside lumeview/java_binding_sample to start a Java application based on lumeview:
gradlew run
