Updated for pymeshlab 2022.2

[Macl-I]

Updated to account for function renaming of pymeshlab version 2022.2.
I am non expert on meshing functions, so please double check if the right ones have been implemented.

If you would like a verification from my own data do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for this update! I'd like to maintain backward compatibility with older versions of pymeshlab. Could you please wrap these changes in try/except blocks that check for an AttributeError on the old calls and uses these new calls in the case we receive an error?

[Macl-I]

Hey I incorporated the requested changes.

However, I don't think they will be so relevant, since old versions of pymeshlab are not downloadable anymore via pypi, which is the reason why I had to adjust the code to get it to run in the first place.

Let me know if any further adjustments are necessary!

Thanks! It looks to me like the old versions of pymeshlab are still available, but maybe I misunderstand. I thought these breaking changes happened in pymeshlab 2022.2. I had a look at PyPI and I can see the old versions back to 0.1.7 at https://pypi.org/project/pymeshlab/2021.10/#history. napari works with python 3.9+, and 0.1.7 works with python 3.9. Do these breaking changes predate 0.1.7? If so, the excepts are not necessary.

You're welcome 😀!

Honestly I did very little checking before updating the code (which was thankfully quite easy).

I did a fresh install at python 3.9 and it didn't work out of the box and installing an old version of pymeshlab via pip install pymeshlab==0.1.9 failed too, so I just stuck with the solution found above.

Due to the uncertainty I suggest we just stick with the try except solution just to be save.

OK. I just double-checked and it does work for me.

So, yes, let's stick with the except to be safe. One last request, could we change it to except AttributeError? I prefer to avoid bare excepts.

One this is merged I'll update the tests build scripts for newer versions of python as well.
