The Polygon Mesh Processing Library is a modern C++ open-source library for processing and visualizing polygon surface meshes. Its main features are:

• An efficient and easy-to-use mesh data structure
• Canonical mesh processing algorithms
• Ready-to-use visualization tools
• Seamless cross-compilation to JavaScript (demo)

Clone the repository:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pmp-library/pmp-library.git

Configure and build:

cd pmp-library && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Run the mesh processing app:

./mpview ../external/pmp-data/off/bunny.off

Build your own tool:

#include <pmp/SurfaceMesh.h>

int main(void)
{
    pmp::SurfaceMesh mesh;
    mesh.read("input.obj");
    // .. do awesome things with your mesh
    mesh.write("output.obj");
}
