Mesh with tris and quads?

[RibeiroAndre]

Hi!
Any way to create a mesh of mixed element types? I don't see any way of mixing tris and quads in the same mesh.
Thanks a lot!

Take a look at Meshes.jl for mixed element meshes. We have a simple UnstructuredMesh representation and will be adding other data structures soon for fast navigation over the faces of any kind.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Would the meshes from Meshes.jl be compatible with Makie?
Thanks!

Not yet but we are working on recipes and trying to provide feedback to improve the Makie recipe system.

Ok, thanks!

There is an overload missing to create the correct polytope type:

using GeometryBasics
using GeometryBasics: AbstractNgonFace, AbstractPoint, Ngon
function GeometryBasics.Polytope(P::Type{<:AbstractPoint{Dim,T}},
                  ::Type{<:AbstractNgonFace{N,IT} where N}) where {Dim,T,IT}
    return Ngon{Dim,T,N,P} where N
end

f = [TriangleFace(1, 2, 3), QuadFace(1, 2, 3, 4)]

p = Point2f0[(0, 1), (1, 2), (3, 4), (4, 5)]
Mesh(p, x);

There seem to be some more overloads missing for when there are faces with different Ns, so display errors as well...

Hi @SimonDanisch , I just stumbled upon this very issue, is there a plan to implement a correction for this issue ?

I also tried your fix (just correcting x by f in Mesh(p,x) and it shows no error as long as the output is omitted with ; as you proposed.
However, if i remove the trailing ; an exception occurs

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching (Ngon{2, Float32, N, Point{2, Float32}} where N)(::QuadFace{Point{2, Float32}})

I'm working with

• GeometryBasics v0.4.1
• Julia v1.7.1
