PPS
An Application to Generate Parametric Pseudo-Surfaces from Triangle Meshes
INTRODUCTION
The code is organized as follows:
- bin - subdirectory where the executables sample-pnt and sample-loop will be written to
- data - subdirectory where the example input files and empty output subdirectories are
- doc - subdirectory where doxygen documentation files are
- include - subdirectory where include files for the libraries ppsfrompnt and ppsfromloop will be written to
- lib - subdirectory where the lib file for the libraries ppsfrompnt and ppsfromloop will be written to
- CMakeLists.txt - cmake configuration file
- LICENSE.md - license file
- README.md - this file
- script - subdirectory containing a shell script to execute the examples
- src - subdirectory containing the source files of libraries and applications
In a nutshell, this code implements the surface representation described in the papers

INSTALLATION
You need cmake version 3.15 or higher and a C++ compiler that supports standard 17.
To build the code, open a terminal, enter directory PPS, and run cmake as follows:
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release
cmake --install build --prefix <full to the PPS directory or where else you want to have the executables>
If you have doxygen installed on your machine, the build will try to generate documentation too.
EXAMPLES
You can run the executables 'sample-pnt' and 'sample-loop' on the data files in subdirectory
<path to directory PPS>/examples
by executing the shell script 'run.sh' in subdirectory
<path to directory PPS>/script
