mesh_torus — MATH geometry op

• Data kinds: none → mesh (an op determined by its arguments alone — it takes no image or data input)

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.mesh_torus(R: 'float' = 2.0, r: 'float' = 0.7, n_u: 'int' = 32, n_v: 'int' = 16) -> 'tuple' (to call the implementation directly, import mathgeometry; mathgeometry.mesh_torus(R: 'float' = 2.0, r: 'float' = 0.7, n_u: 'int' = 32, n_v: 'int' = 16) -> 'tuple'; from the registry, opsmath.get("mesh_torus"))

Usage

Closed triangle mesh (vertices, faces) of a torus (doughnut). Major radius R, tube radius r (R > r > 0).

A specimen surface of genus 1: χ = 0, total angle defect = 0 (the convex outer part is positive and the saddle-shaped inner part negative, cancelling out). Vertices are ordered on the (u, v) grid (u around the big circle, v around the tube); the vertex at u = i·2π/n_u, v = j·2π/n_v is number i·n_v + j.

Family-wide input contract (fail-closed)

Every mathops op validates its input before computing (nothing slips through silently):

• complex input raises ValueError — coercing to float64 silently discards the imaginary part (numpy only emits a ComplexWarning and returns a plausible-looking wrong real number). State .real/.imag/abs() explicitly, or use complexops, which handles complex data.

• masked arrays with masked elements raise ValueError — the implicit conversion that peels off the mask and uses the raw values underneath is refused. Say explicitly whether to fill or to drop.

• NaN/Inf raises ValueError on every input (refused with the count stated — it propagates through the whole result).

• Shapes are strict: 1-D and 2-D are never implicitly promoted or broadcast (a matrix in a vector slot, or a vector in a matrix slot, raises ValueError; reshape explicitly).

• Size cap: ops that take a matrix, and the stat_histogram bins, raise ValueError beyond mathops.MAX_ELEMENTS (2^26 ≈ 67 million elements).
