OpenMesh: remove_property : is not a member of Decimater::DecimaterT<MeshT>

Question

I'm trying to use the decimater algorithm in OpenMesh. I followed the basic setup presented in this link: http://openmesh.org/Documentation/OpenMesh-2.0-Documentation/decimater_docu.html but I get the following error which is comes from the modquadrict.hh(part of the library).

error C2039: 'remove_property' : is not a member of 'OpenMesh::Decimater::DecimaterT<MeshT>'

main.cpp

#include "MyMesh.h"
#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
    MyMesh mesh;

    decimater deci (mesh);

    HModQuadric hModQuad;

    if(!OpenMesh::IO::read_mesh(mesh, "models/monkey.obj"));
    {
        std::cout<<"Cannot read mesh";
    }

    deci.add(hModQuad);

    std::cout << deci.module( hM).name() << std::endl;
    getch();
    return 0;
}

typedef OpenMesh::TriMesh_ArrayKernelT<MeshTraits>  MyMesh;

// Decimater type
typedef OpenMesh::Decimater::DecimaterT< MyMesh >               decimater;

// Decimation Module Handle type
typedef OpenMesh::Decimater::ModQuadricT< decimater >::Handle HModQuadric;

Answer 1

The problem was with this line.

typedef OpenMesh::Decimater::ModQuadricT< decimater >::Handle HModQuadric;

it should be like this:

typedef OpenMesh::Decimater::ModQuadricT< MyMesh >::Handle HModQuadric;

I was referring the documentation from version 2.0 while working on version 3.0

With recent versions, the templating depend on the mesh and not the decimater.
