meshgeometry
Mesh geometry tools. Several commands can be chained together, with the same operation
appearing many times in the same command line. They are processed sequentially.
Compiling:
bash compile.sh
In Linux, you may need to install the freeglut3 and libmesa libraries first:
apt-get update
apt install freeglut3-dev
apt install mesa-common-dev
