Proposals:New Mesh Class

This document derives the motivation and implementation of a new Mesh Class and associated Filters and IO classes for ITK

Overview

itkQuadEdgeMesh (itkQEMesh) is a new data structure for surface meshes. It is more efficient than the current itkMesh for surface processing. However it cannot handle N-dimensional meshes. Hence itkMesh and itkQEMesh will coexist in future releases of ITK. This documents describes how itkQuadEdgeMesh will be integrated into ITK 3.2.
