PolyfaceVisitor Interface

A PolyfaceVisitor manages data while walking through facets.

  • The polyface visitor holds data for one facet at a time.
  • The caller can request the position in the addressed facets as a "readIndex."
  • The readIndex value (as a number) is not promised to be sequential. (I.e. it might be a simple facet count or might be
