librip is a c++-library to interpolate two regions to a moving region.
Prerequisites:
lua5.1 or lua5.2 (for matchFaces-scripting)
(adapt LIBS in lib/Makefile and lib/config.h accordingly)
libboost (for polygon intersection)
If boost is not available, an alternative implementation can be chosen in lib/Makefile.
Please run "make clean" after changing.
The main function is:
RList regioninterpolate (RList src, RList dst, string srctime, string dsttime, string args);
src and dst are regions in nested list representation.
The format is:
region: '(' face* ')'
face: '(' cycle holecycle* ')'
cycle: '(' point point point+ ')'
point: '(' real real ')'
holecycle: cycle
The class RList can be used to construct suitable representations of regions.
Example:
RList nl;
RList *ptr = nl->nest()->nest();
ptr->point(0,0);
ptr->point(10,0);
ptr->point(10,10);
srctime and dsttime are the timestamps of the two regions to be interpolated in the format
YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS (e.g. "2014-07-09 15:30:22")
A file-based example can be found in the directory "example/"
Usage: ./rip objects/box1 objects/box2 "2014-01-01 00:00" "2014-01-02 12:00" Distance
Some objects to test with reside in "example/objects/"
