NAME

cxGeoTrisDefine - define a triangle mesh object

C SPECIFICATION

#include <cx/Geometry.h>

cxGeo cxGeoTrisDefine( int npoint, float *point, int nindex, int *index )

FORTRAN SPECIFICATION

integer function cxGeoTrisDefine(n,point, nindex, index)
integer npoint
real point(3, npoint)
integer nindex
integer index(nindex)

PARAMETERS

npoint
Number of points.
point
An array of XYZ triples for vertices.
nindex
Number of indices.
index
Indices into the points array.

DESCRIPTION

This function creates a set of triangle meshes. The vertices are supplied in point and their connectivity is given in index.

Indexing of vertices is zero-based, i.e. the first vertex is referenced by index 0, and the last by npoint - 1. An index element value of -1 indicates the end of a triangle mesh. An index element value of -2 indicates a vertex swap.

The return value is a tag for this object that may be used to reference it at a later time with cxGeoFocus(3E).

Valid attributes are colors, normals, and transparencies. Attribute distribution may be CX_GEO_PER_OBJECT, CX_GEO_PER_FACE, CX_GEO_PER_VERTEX, or CX_GEO_PER_VERTEX_INDEXED.
