First of all, thanks for the plugin.

I have an obj surface that I want to import and visualize in napari, however, I tried:

from napari_pymeshlab import get_mesh_reader
surface = ("E:/3D-Edited.obj")
viewer.add_surface(get_mesh_reader(surface), name='surface')

But I got the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

I know is a newbie question.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Zach @zacsimile ,

I'm just sending a PR with some functionality. I had developed it in another plugin, but not published. I think these functions would fit well here.

• convex_hull
• laplacian_smooth
• taubin_smooth
• simplification_clustering_decimation
• colorize_curvature_apss

Furthermore, I'm suggesting to change the license of your plugin to GPL, because pymeshlab is licensed GPL. So we kind of have to use GPL as well. :-/ https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/PyMeshLab/blob/master/LICENSE

Please let me know what you think!

Best, Robert

Hi @zacsimile ,

the napari-hub page of the plugin lacks documentation. If you delete .napari/description.md and push an update to pypi, then the readme.md will be shown.

If you're busy, I'm happy to send a PR :-)

Best, Robert

Hi @zacsimile ,

this should fix the broken link to the image on the napari hub. It's always good if the screenshots are visible ;-)

closes #3

Also for fixing this, a deployment to pypi is necessary.

Thanks! Robert
