navis.simplify_mesh¶

navis.simplify_mesh(x, F, backend='auto', inplace=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Simplify meshes (TriMesh, MeshNeuron, Volume).

Parameters:

x (navis.MeshNeuron/List | navis.Volume | trimesh.Trimesh) – Mesh(es) to simplify.
F (float | int) – Determines how much the mesh is simplified: Floats (0-1) are interpreted as ratio. For example, an F of 0.5 will reduce the number of faces to 50%. Integers (>1) are intepreted as target face count. For example, an F of 5000 will attempt to reduce the number of faces to 5000.
backend ("auto" | "pyfqmr" | "open3d" | "blender" | "pymeshlab") – Which backend to use. Currenly we support pyfqmr, open3d, Blender 3D and pymeshlab.
inplace (bool) – If True, will perform simplication on x. If False, will simplify and return a copy.
**kwargs – Keyword arguments are passed through to the respective backend’s functions (see below).
parallel (bool) – If True and input is NeuronList, use parallel processing. Requires pathos.
n_cores (int, optional) – Numbers of cores to use if parallel=True. Defaults to half the available cores.
progress (bool) – Whether to show a progress bar. Overruled by navis.set_pbars.
omit_failures (bool) – If True will omit failures instead of raising an exception. Ignored if input is single neuron.

Returns:

Simplified object.

Return type:
