NOTE: there is no visualization tool in slam, but we provide at the

end of this script exemplare code to do the visualization with an external solution

---

importation of slam modules

import slam.curvature as scurv
import slam.generate_parametric_surfaces as sgps

Creating an examplar 3-4-…n hinge mesh

hinge_mesh = sgps.generate_hinge(n_hinge=4)
mesh_curvatures = scurv.curvatures_and_derivatives(hinge_mesh)
mean_curvature = 1 / 2 * mesh_curvatures[0].sum(axis=0)
