PolyfaceData Class

PolyfaceData carries data arrays for point, normal, uv-parameters, and color, and index arrays for each.

  • Normal, uv-parameter, and color data are optional.
  • A given data array is defined if and only if its corresponding index array is defined.
  • All defined index arrays have parallel face loop order and structure, and thus the same length.
  • IndexedPolyface carries a PolyfaceData as a member (NOT as a base class; it already has GeometryQuery as base).
  • IndexedPolyfaceVisitor uses PolyfaceData as a base class. In this use, there is only a single facet in PolyfaceData.
  • PolyfaceData does not know what index range constitutes a given facet. This is managed by a derived/carrier class.
