minimal_surface — 3D surface op

• データ種: なし → mesh(引数だけで決まる op —— 画像やデータの入力を取らない)

• 呼び出し: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.minimal_surface(kind='catenoid', nu=80, nv=120, extent=1.5, scale=1.0) (実装を直接呼ぶなら import render3d; render3d.minimal_surface(kind='catenoid', nu=80, nv=120, extent=1.5, scale=1.0)、台帳から引くなら ops3d.get("minimal_surface"))

使い方

A classical minimal surface, from its exact parametrisation.

`catenoid (c cosh(u/c) cos v, c cosh(u/c) sin v, u), helicoid`

`(u cos v, u sin v, c v), enneper`

`(u - u^3/3 + u v^2, v - v^3/3 + v u^2, u^2 - v^2) and scherk`

`z = log(cos y / cos x)` (the doubly periodic surface, over one cell).

★★Why this earns its place — the definition is the gate. A minimal surface

is one whose mean curvature vanishes everywhere, and the existing

`vertex_curvature` op measures exactly that. So the claim "this is a minimal

surface" is checked by an op that knows nothing about how the surface was

built. ★A trap worth naming: the catenoid and the helicoid are *isometric*, so

their Gaussian curvatures agree pointwise — but that is a **necessary, not

sufficient** condition for minimality (a sphere and a plane differ in K, yet

matching K would not make either minimal). Grade on H.

Parameters

----------

kind : str

One of `MINIMAL_SURFACES`.

nu, nv : int

Grid resolution along the two parameters.

extent : float

Half-range of the first parameter (how much of the surface to take).

scale : float

The surface's own scale parameter (`c` for catenoid and helicoid).

Returns a `mesh: (vertices, faces)`.

Raises `ValueError`: unknown kind; a grid below 4x4 or over the cap;

non-positive scale; an extent that reaches the singularity (Scherk's surface

is only defined where `cos x and cos y` share a sign, so an extent at or

beyond `pi/2` is refused rather than silently clipped to infinity).

HALCON: no operator.
