meshgeometry
Mesh geometry tools. Several commands can be chained together, with the same operation appearing many times in the same command line. They are processed sequentially.
Compiling: bash compile.sh
In Linux, you may need to install the freeglut3 and libmesa libraries first: apt-get update apt install freeglut3-dev apt install mesa-common-dev
