Hello everyone!

I’ve recently started exploring the fantastic Processing Geometry Suite (PGS) library and I’m really impressed by its capabilities. Right now, I’m trying to get the Mesh Smoothing example up and running, but I could use a bit of guidance.

I was able to successfully run the examples included in the project folder, but I noticed that some examples mentioned on the GitHub page—like Mesh Smoothing—aren’t included there. If anyone could help me understand how to access these additional examples or point me in the right direction to get Mesh Smoothing working, I’d be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for any help or tips you can share!

GitHub (library): [GitHub - micycle1/PGS: Processing Geometry Suite](https://github.com/micycle1/PGS)

Mesh Smoothing Example:

Library author here.

Library structure is quite simple – all the illustrations on the Github readme live under their respective`PGS_` code file (“Meshing” –\> `PGS_Meshing`).

You can see details about methods in the Javadocs ( [PGS\_Meshing (Processing Geometry Suite 2.0 API)](https://micycle1.github.io/PGS/micycle/pgs/PGS_Meshing.html) ) or in an IDE.

So the method you’re after is`PGS_Meshing.smoothMesh(...)`.

Hi Micycle

Thank you so much for your reply and for your work!

I gave it a try, it should be something like this?

Thank you!

Yeah looks alright.

Another simple example:

```java
  var v = PGS_Voronoi.innerVoronoi(PGS_Morphology.simplify(leaf, 4), PGS_PointSet.poisson(0, 0, width, height, 50, 0));
  v = PGS_Meshing.smoothMesh(v, mouseX/2, true);
  shape(v);

```
