CanonicalizePolyhedron

CanonicalizePolyhedron[poly]

gives a canonical representation of the polyhedron poly with shared coordinates and with inner and outer boundaries.

Details

  • CanonicalizePolyhedron is used to get a simple standard representation of a polyhedron from various representations and descriptions.
  • CanonicalizePolyhedron converts a polyhedron to an optimized standard form Polyhedron[{p1,p2,…},{outer1,outer2inner2,…}].
  • The points pi are the vertex points of non-intersecting polygonal faces and sorted into Sort order.
  • An outer boundary outeri is a closed surface with polygonal faces {fi1,fi2,…}, possibly touching at edges.
  • An inner boundary inneri is a closed surface with polygonal faces {fj1,fj2,…}, possibly touching at edges.
