Scalar Quantities
Visualize scalar (real or integer)-valued data at the points of a point cloud.
Example:
#include "polyscope/point_cloud.h"
std::vector<double> xC(points.size());
for (size_t i = 0; i < points.size(); i++) {
xC[i] = points[i].x;
}
// visualize
polyscope::getPointCloud(pointCloudName)->addScalarQuantity("xC", xC);
PointCloud::addScalarQuantity(std::string name, const T& values, DataType type = DataType::STANDARD)
Add a scalar quantity to the point cloud.
valuesis the array of scalars at points. The type should be adaptable to afloatscalar array. The length should be the number of points in the point cloud.
Options
| Parameter | Meaning | Getter | Setter | Persistent? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| enabled | is the quantity enabled? | bool isEnabled() |
setEnabled(bool newVal) |
yes |
| color map | the color map to use | std::string getColorMap() |
setColorMap(std::string newMap) |
yes |
| map range | the lower and upper limits used when mapping the data in to the color map | std::pair<double,double> getMapRange() |
setMapRange(std::pair<double,double>) and resetMapRange() |
no |
(all setters return this to support chaining. setEnabled() returns generic quantity, so chain it last)
