tvb-gdist 2.0.2

Geodesic Library

The tvb-gdist module is a Cython interface to a C++ library (https://code.google.com/archive/p/geodesic/) for computing geodesic distance which is the length of shortest line between two vertices on a triangulated mesh in three dimensions, such that the line lies on the surface.

The algorithm is due Mitchell, Mount and Papadimitriou, 1987; the implementation is due to Danil Kirsanov and the Cython interface to Gaurav Malhotra and Stuart Knock (TVB Team).

Original library (published under MIT license): https://code.google.com/archive/p/geodesic/

We added a Python wrapped and made small fixes to the original library, to make it compatible with Cython.

To install this, either run pip install tvb-gdist or download sources from Github and run python setup.py install in current folder.

Basic test could be:

python
import gdist

Python 3, Cython, and a C++ compiler are required unless the Pypi whl files are compatible with your system.
