minimal_surface — 3D surface op

• Data kinds: कोई नहीं → mesh (केवल arguments से तय होने वाला op — यह कोई image या data input नहीं लेता)

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.minimal_surface(kind='catenoid', nu=80, nv=120, extent=1.5, scale=1.0) (implementation को सीधे call करना हो तो import render3d; render3d.minimal_surface(kind='catenoid', nu=80, nv=120, extent=1.5, scale=1.0), registry से लेना हो तो ops3d.get("minimal_surface"))

उपयोग

एक classical minimal surface, उसके exact parametrisation से।

> नीचे का विस्तृत विवरण मूल text में है — सारांश और headings का अनुवाद हो चुका है।

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.
