Loop-cgal

Loop-cgal is a Python package for mesh processing operations using the CGAL (Computational Geometry Algorithms Library). It is designed for efficient geometric computations using pyvista objects.

Features

• Python bindings for CGAL using pybind11.
• Current features:
  • clipping of 3D triangular surfaces
• Future features:
  • Marching cubes algorithm for isosurface extraction
  • Boolean operations on marching cube meshes.

Installation

Prerequisites

• C++17 or later
• Python 3.11 or later
• CGAL library
• Boost library
• CMake 3.15 or later
• pybind11
• scikit-build
• pyvista

Build and Install

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Loop3D/loop-cgal.git
