draco-rs

Rust bindings for the forked Draco library, providing efficient compression and decompression of 3D meshes and point clouds.

Features

• Encode and decode 3D geometry (meshes & point clouds)
• Safe, idiomatic Rust API built on autocxx
• Direct, low-overhead mapping to core Draco constructs
• Support for custom attributes and per-point data

Installation

Add draco-rs to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
draco-rs = "x.x.x"

Quick Start

use draco_rs::{prelude::{*, ffi::draco::{GeometryAttribute_Type, DataType}}, pointcloud::*};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Build a point cloud with 3 components per point
    let mut builder = PointCloudBuilder::new(1);
    let attr_id = builder.add_attribute(GeometryAttribute_Type::POSITION, 3, DataType::DT_FLOAT64);
    builder.add_point(attr_id, 0, &[0.0f32, 1.0, 2.0]);
    let cloud = builder.build(false);

    // Encode to a buffer
    let mut encoded = cloud.to_buffer(&mut Encoder::default())?;
    // note: the decoder buffer does not take ownership of the given buffer, so the buffer must be valid for the lifetime of the decode process.
    let mut decoder_buffer = DecoderBuffer::from_encoder_buffer(&mut encoded);

    // Decode back to a PointCloud
    let mut decoded = PointCloud::from_buffer(&mut Decoder::default(), &mut decoder_buffer)?;
    assert_eq!(decoded.get_point_alloc::<f32, 3>(attr_id, 0), [0.0, 1.0, 2.0]);

    Ok(())
