	The Forman Gradient 2D is a comprehensive library for computing a Forman Gradient on triangle meshes. The library provides all the basic functions for encoding a triangle mesh and a scalar function defined on its vertices (both provided in input) and for computing a Forman gradient on it. Two different methods have been implemented. The first one is based on homotopic expansion and the second one uses an input watershed segmentation to avoid spurious critical simplices. Additional functions are furnished for computing the cells of the discrete Morse complex and for producing output files to be visualized in Paraview. The library is composed of two main parts. The first one provides all the basic functions for managing the triangle mesh (LibMesh). The second part provides the functions for computing the Forman gradient and the Morse cells (LibForman). The source code and additional information can be found here.

	The Supertetras is a C++ tool for computing an oversegmentation of a tetrahedral mesh. The tool extends the state-of-the-art superpixel algorithm to tetrahedral mesh representations with scalar fields defined over their vertices.

	The Superfacets-2D is a C++ tool for segmenting the boundary of triangulated 3D shapes into patches. The tools computes superfacet segmentations of meshes based on a k-means style approach using shortest-path distances over the face graph of the mesh. By using a bounded expansion strategy in the reclassification step, our approach obtains a log-linear complexity, enabling the segmentation of large meshes (with several million triangles) where applying normalized cuts or other such cut-based approaches would be intractable.

	The Mangrove Topological Data Structure (Mangrove TDS) Library is a C++ tool for the fast prototyping of topological data structures representing cell and simplicial complexes of any dimension, not necessarily embedded in an Euclidean space. All types of domains are supported efficiently, including non-manifolds. The source code and additional information can be found here.

	The TetraMesh is a C++ library for the topological representation of scalar fields defined on tetrahedral meshes. The underlying tetrahedral mesh is encoded as an indexed data structure with explicit adjacencies and the scalar function is associated with its vertices. The library provides all the functionalities for reading a mesh (in TS or RAW format) and for retrieving the topological relations among its simplices such as Vertex-Edge relation, Edge-Face relation, Face-Tetrahedra relation and so on. The source code and additional information can be found here.
	The MT Package contains a C++ library that allows you to design interactive applications which exploit the full power of multiresolution on geometric objects represented by meshes in any dimension. The MT Package allows you to do two basic actions: Take a simplicial (e.g., triangular, tetrahedral) mesh describing an object and build a multiresolution representation of the same object; Query this multiresolution representation on-line to obtain meshes representing the object at the level of detail you like. The source code and additional information can be found here.
