fmesher (development version)

New features

  • Add fm_subset() method for constructing a subset of a mesh based on a set of triangle (for fm_mesh_2d) or tetrahedron (for fm_mesh_3d) indices. (version 0.5.0.9003)

Improved features

  • Add bary=fm_bary() information to fm_subdivide() output, mapping the new mesh locations to the original mesh locations, e.g. for interpolating functions from the original mesh to the new mesh (version 0.5.0.9002)
  • Speed up fm_int() for polygons by bulk pre-computing fm_bary() information instead of separate calls in fm_vertex_projection() (version 0.5.0.9004)
  • Handle heterogeneous sf geometry XY/XYZ dimensions in fm_bary()/fm_basis() via new internal fm_zm() method that is called by fm_onto_mesh() and fm_unify_coords() to promote XY to XYZ when needed, before calling sf::st_coordinates(), as sf::st_coordinates() otherwise fails. (version 0.5.0.9005)

Bug fixes

  • Make fm_subdivide() store the indexing information for the original mesh locations in $idx$loc (version 0.5.0.9001)
  • Correct off-by-one indexing error in $graph$vt triangle indices (version 0.5.0.9002)
  • Propagate correct crs information in fm_bary_loc() for 2D spaces (version 0.5.0.9005)

fmesher 0.5.0

CRAN release: 2025-07-07

New features

  • Add fm_area() method for fm_segm area calculations (version 0.4.0.9002)
  • Make fm_nonconvex_hull() a unified function for “fm” and “sf” construction methods and input/output formats, with default method “fm” and output format “sf”, making fm_nonconvex_hull_inla() deprecated. (version 0.4.0.9004)

Improved features

  • Rename fm_mesh_components() to fm_components() and add support for fm_segm objects (version 0.4.0.9001)
  • Add support for polygon output in fm_as_sfc() for closed boundary fm_segm objects (version 0.4.0.9002)
  • Add support for fm_segm as boundary input to fm_hexagon_lattice() (version 0.4.0.9005)
  • Add fm_segm integration support for fm_mesh_2d objects in fm_int() (version 0.4.0.9005)

Bug fixes

  • Fix indexing bug in fm_basis.fm_mesh_1d() for degree = 2 and NA locations (version 0.4.0.9003)
  • Detect unnamed sfc objects in fm_int() for multi-domain integration and give an error, as the user must provide a geometry name (version 0.4.0.9005)
  • Check that every fm_int() sampler for domain lists has at least one corresponding domain (version 0.4.0.9007)
  • Remove support for character .block information in fm_int()/fm_cprod(), forcing the use of integer, as character could lead to incorrect block aggregation output ordering. The equivalent information is now available in .block_origin. Also clean up of fm_cprod() and sf handling (version 0.4.0.9006)

fmesher 0.1.3

CRAN release: 2023-10-18

  • Fix bug in fm_rcdt_2d_inla() that gave different defaults for the extend and refine arguments when equal to TRUE, that should be treated the same as list() (version 0.1.2.9001)

  • Convert some of the old potentially unsafe C++ pointer methods to type safe C++17 features

fmesher 0.1.2

CRAN release: 2023-08-25

  • Various documentation improvements, in particular for INLA compatibility
  • Modify mesh refinement tests to directly check the refinement criteria instead of the specific mesh result, to account for differences in floating point behaviour on M1 processors.
  • Modify tests of non-mesh-generation features to use precomputed meshes or meshes with stable properties
  • Protect against invalid tv inputs
  • Revert from \text{} to \textrm{}, as AMS extensions are only supported from R 4.2.2 (https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.pdf 2023-08-24, page 90), and CRAN oldrel for macOS is 4.2.0, not 4.2.3
