Input file assumptions

[glennDittmann]

Hi again,
I have a quick question on the .pts input files.

I would like to execute the example compute_delaunay with dimension=2 and dimension=3, i.e. a 2d and a 3d delaunay triangulation.

I was passing an .pts file like this for dimension=2,

v 0 1 0
v 1 0 0
v 2 2 0
...

assuming the algorithm would then interpret the third column as the weights of the points (0) and therefore compute the 2d delaunay triangulation over the first two columns.

However, when I wanted to pass something like this for dimension=3,

v 0 1 1 0
v 1 1 0 0
v 2 2 2 0
...

I get a wrong number of fields error.

How do I then pass weights for 3d points ? And is my assumption for the 2d case correct?

The example program compute_delaunay does not compute weighted triangulations, see the documentation here for an example of weighted triangulation.
Regarding file formats:

• if you use the full geogram library, then all file formats supported by geogram will work.
• if you use the PSM (pluggable software module), then it is ASCII, with d coordinates per line (d = 2 or d = 3)
