marcomusy/vedo: 2022.1.0

Main changes

• Quite serious bug fixed in closestPoint() method due to a problem in the upstream vtk9.0 vtkStaticCellLocator class. (https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtkstaticcelllocator-problem-vtk9-0-3/7854/4)

• internal global variable settings.plotter_instance must become vedo.plotter_instance.

• vedo.settings is now a dotted dictionary

• implemented logging module for managing errors and warnings

• fixed bug to distanceTo() method

• Brower, IsosurfaceBrowser, Slicer2DPlotter and RayCastPlotter are now Plotter derived classes (not functions)
• improved IsosurfaceBrowser for speed

• improved Video.action(cameras=[...]) to interpolate cameras positions

• faces of a mesh can be reversed individually with reverse(face_list).
• fixed bug to distanceTo() method

• fix closeWindow()
• add show(..., zoom="tight") to automatically zoom in as close as possible when 2D.

• added binarize() method.
• added invert() method.

• name change cornerPlot -> CornerPlot
• name change cornerHistogram -> CornerHistogram

• Line.lineColor() overrides mesh.lineColor() to avoid ambiguities.
• added line.curvature() method and example in docs.
• added line.tangents() method and example in docs.

• volume.mesh2Volume() function moved to vedo.mesh.binarize()
• volume.signedDistanceFromPointCloud() function moved to Points.signedDistance
• legosurface() changed interface

• function has new keyword sortByColumn(invert=False)
