params::vertex_is_constrained_map setting in PMP::isotropic_remeshing does not set the corner points remain its position during remesh

Issue Details

I am using PMP::isotropic_remeshing method to remesh a surface mesh. I have a vertex_is_constrained_map in which the corner points are set to be true.

Before isotropic_remeshing, the surface mesh is as follows:

and the green points are corner points (for these vertices, vertex_is_constrained_map[vertex] = true )

However, after isotropic_remeshing, the corner points are not at the same position, which is not what I desire:

I use isotropic_remeshing to another example but that example works fine: the corner points all remains at its position: I dont understand why the two isotropic_remeshing (I implement the two almost the same) results differently.

Hi @janetournois , I saw you have assigned this issue. Do you need the code and input files?

[janetournois]

Hello @citystrawman indeed the piece of code you sent is not enough to understand what's wrong in your code. I would need a standalone and the data to understand why vertex_is_constrained_map is not working

Hello @citystrawman indeed the piece of code you sent is not enough to understand what's wrong in your code. I would need a standalone and the data to understand why vertex_is_constrained_map is not working

Here's the code: clip_get_intersect_points_new_try_remove2.zip

Here's the input off model: model.zip

Because this code is my testing code, it is a bit long and has many intermediate processes, but you can find that I write out "slope_clip_before.off" and "slope_clip.off" which corresponds to the screenshot that I have shown, these two outputs are example that vertex_is_constrained_mapis not working. You can also find "slide_clip_before.off" and "slide_clip.off" , and these two outputs are example that vertex_is_constrained_map working fine.

If you have anything unclear, feel free to call me. Thank you!

BTW I use 5.5.x version
