STL tool

A little C++ programm that reads and writes ASCII or Binary STL ("STereoLithography" or "Standard Triangle Language").

What's in

• triangle.hpp provides a basic Triangle class
• STL_tool.hpp provides the read and write routines for .stl files

If you want to create a .stl file you need to fill a std::vector<Triangle> with the surface traingulation and pass it to a Write* routine of the STL_tool class.

Reading a .stl file returns a std::vector<Triangle> which can then be further processsed.

• surface_creation.hpp is a sample collection to create std::vector<Triangle> which can then be written to .stl on viewed in e.g. Paraview.
