LevelSet()

Mesh LevelSet	(	std::function< float(glm::vec3)>	sdf,
		Box	bounds,
		float	edgeLength,
		float	level,
		bool	canParallel
	)

Constructs a level-set Mesh from the input Signed-Distance Function (SDF). This uses a form of Marching Tetrahedra (akin to Marching Cubes, but better for manifoldness). Instead of using a cubic grid, it uses a body-centered cubic grid (two shifted cubic grids). This means if your function's interior exceeds the given bounds, you will see a kind of egg-crate shape closing off the manifold, which is due to the underlying grid.

Parameters

sdf	The signed-distance functor, containing this function signature: float operator()(glm::vec3 point), which returns the signed distance of a given point in R^3. Positive values are inside, negative outside.
bounds	An axis-aligned box that defines the extent of the grid.
edgeLength	Approximate maximum edge length of the triangles in the final result. This affects grid spacing, and hence has a strong effect on performance.
level	You can inset your Mesh by using a positive value, or outset it with a negative value.
canParallel	Parallel policies violate will crash language runtimes with runtime locks that expect to not be called back by unregistered threads. This allows bindings use LevelSet despite being compiled with MANIFOLD_PAR active.

Returns

Mesh This class does not depend on Manifold, so it just returns a Mesh, but it is guaranteed to be manifold and so can always be used as input to the Manifold constructor for further operations.
