[Changes from 07.05.2025 by MarcusTU]
[Added]
bool Element::hasListPropertyType
(const std::string& target)
[Reason]
There was no analogon to hasPropertyType for list properties
[Added]
std::string PLYData::getPropertyTypeName
(const std::string & propertyName)
[Reason]
There was no possibility to get the property type name from the outside
[Added]
bool Element::isListProperty
(const std::string & propertyName)
[Reason]
There was no possibility to check if a property is a list property from the outside
[Added]
std::vector<std::array<PositionT, 3>> PLYData::getVertexNormals
(const std::string& vertexElementName = "vertex")
[Reason]
There is a wrapper for positions (getVertexPositions) but the one for normals was missing
[Added]
void PLYData::addElementNormals
(std::string const& elementName, std::vector<std::array<PositionT, 3>>& elementNormals)
[Reason]
There is a wrapper for positions (addVertexPositions) but the one for normals was missing
[Added]
void PLYData::addElementProperty
(std::vector<T> const & data, std::string const & elementName, std::string const & propertyName)
[Reason]
There was no wrapper for adding data to element properties in a smooth way
[Added]
void PLYData::addElementListProperty
(std::vector<std::vector<T>> const & data, std::string const & elementName, std::string const & listPropertyName)
[Reason]
There was no wrapper for adding data to element list properties in a smooth way
[Changed]
void PLYData::addElementColors
(std::string const& elementName, std::vector<std::array<double, 3>>& colors)
[InsteadOf]
void PLYData::addVertexColors
(std::vector<std::array<double, 3>>& colors)
[Reason]
More general version of the same function that can set colors to any element and not only to vertices
[Changed]
void PLYData::addElementColors
(std::string const& elementName, std::vector<std::array<unsigned char, 3>>& colors)
[InsteadOf]
void PLYData::addVertexColors
(std::vector<std::array<unsigned char, 3>>& colors)
[Reason]
More general version of the same function that can set colors to any element and not only to vertices
[Changed]
void PLYData::addVertexPositions
(std::vector<std::array<PositionT, 3>>& vertexPositions)
[InsteadOf]
void PLYData::addVertexPositions
(std::vector<std::array<double, 3>>& vertexPositions)
[Reason]
This allows for float and double positions instead of only double ones
[Fixed C4702]
S* addressIfSame
(T&, char)
[Added]
template<typename T> bool PLYData::hasElementPropertyType
(const std::string & elementName, const std::string & propertyName)
[Reason]
There was no smooth way to check if an element with property of type T exists
[Added]
template<typename T> bool PLYData::hasElementListPropertyType
(const std::string & elementName, const std::string & listPropertyName)
[Reason]
There was no smooth way to check if an element with list property of type T exists
[Added]
bool PLYData::hasDoublePrecisionVertices
()
[Reason]
Allows for a check if the vertices are stored with double precision
[Added]
bool PLYData::hasDoublePrecisionNormals
()
[Reason]
Allows for a check if the normals are stored with double precision
