Mesh Utilities

This repository contains scripts for generating neuropil meshes for NeuroNLP and FlyBrainLab.

Installation Instructions

On a Python 3.6 environment, run

pip install pyvista

to install pyvista.

Examples

The file mesh_generator/stl_2_ffbo_mesh.py can be run as follows to convert a mesh from the .stl format to .json:

python stl_2_ffbo_mesh.py -i _temp_mesh.stl -o out.json

To generate a mesh from point cloud input, check out mesh_generator/example.py as a starting point:

python example.py

You may want to open the generated mesh _temp_mesh.stl in an application like MeshLab for further improvements before conversion to .json.
