• marching_cubes() is an alias for all_labels_to_surface()
• surface_quality_table(), add_quality() and Quality now support measuring curvature
• SurfaceTuple objects can now be rendered in Jupyter notebooks
• For surface_to_binary_volume() the as_large_as_image parameter is now optional

Bug fixes

• fix error when mesh not clicked by @kevinyamauchi in #26

Backwards compatiblity breaking changes

nppas does not have open3d as dependency anymore. However, functions using open3d still exist (and are deprecated). To make use of them, you need to install open3d manually as described here.

Deprecated functions

• add_spherefitted_curvature() is deprecated, use add_quality(..., Quality.SPHERE_FITTED_CURVATURE_..._VOXEL).
• add_curvature() is deprecated. Use add_curvature_scalars() instead,
• spherefitted_curvature is deprecated. Use add_quality(..., Quality.SPHERE_FITTED_CURVATURE_..._VOXEL) instead,
• _knot_mesh() and example_data_knot() are deprecated,
• _standford_bunny() is deprecated. Use _vedo_stanford_bunny() instead,
• to_vector_d() is deprecated,
• to_vector_i() is deprecated,
• to_vector_double() is deprecated,
• to_numpy() is deprecated. Use numpy.asarray() instead.
• to_mesh() is deprecated. Use to_vedo_mesh() instead,
• to_point_cloud() is deprecated. Use to_napari_points_data() instead.
• to_surface() is deprecated. Use to_napari_surface_data() instead,
• convex_hull() is deprecated. Use convex_hull_from_surface() instead,
• filter_smooth_simple() is deprecated. Use smooth_surface() instead.
• filter_smooth_laplacian() is deprecated. Use smooth_surface() instead.
• filter_smooth_taubin() is deprecated. Use smooth_surface() instead.
• simplify_vertex_clustering() is deprecated. Use decimate_quadric() or decimate_pro() instead.
• simplify_quadric_decimation() is deprecated. Use decimate_quadric() instead.
• subdivide_loop() is deprecated. Use subdivide_adaptive() or subdivide_centroid() instead.
• sample_points_uniformly() is deprecated. Use sample_points_from_surface() instead,
• sample_points_poisson_disk() is deprecated. Use sample_points_from_surface() instead,
• voxel_down_sample() is deprecated. Use subsample_points() instead,
• points_to_convex_hull_surface() is deprecated. Use create_convex_hull_from_points() instead
• surface_from_point_cloud_alpha_shape() is deprecated. Use create_convex_hull_from_points() instead.
• surface_from_point_cloud_ball_pivoting() is deprecated. Use create_convex_hull_from_points() instead.
• fill_holes() is deprecated. Use fill_holes_in_surface() instead.

Miscellaneous

• The menus Tools > Measurement > Surface quality, Surface quality table and Surface curvature were moved to Tools > Measurement maps
• Measuring sphere-fitted curvature leading to NaN results do no longer lead to an error but to a warning instead.
• Menus in Tools > Surfaces > Example data have been moved to File > Open Samples
• Menu Tools > Measurement > Surface quality/annotation to table (nppas) has been moved to Tools > Measurement tables
