conformallab++

conformallab++ is a modern C++ reimplementation of the ConformalLab software by Stefan Sechelmann for experiments in discrete conformal geometry and related mesh transformations.

It builds on well‑established open‑source libraries such as CGAL, Eigen, and Boost for robust geometric data structures and efficient numerical computations, and uses single‑header libraries CLI11 and json.hpp for a lightweight command‑line interface and configuration handling. In addition, libigl’s OpenGL viewer stack based on GLFW provides portable windowing and input handling, while the separate libigl‑glad component supplies a generated OpenGL function loader for the required core profile, making interactive visualization easy to integrate.

Status

This project is in an early prototype stage.
API, file formats and command‑line interface are all subject to change.
