vcPolygonSet

vcPolygonSet is a collection of n-sided polygons, which are either manually created or the result of tessellation.

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
CreaseAngle	Real	RW	Defines an angle (in degrees) between polygons and edges considered hard, thereby rendering uses polygon normals instead of point normals.
Edges	List of vcEdge	R	Gets a list of all edges in the set.
Points	List of vcPolygonPoint	R	Gets a list of all points in the set.
PolygonCount	Integer	R	Gets the number of polygons in the set.
Polygons	List of vcPolygon	R	Gets a list of polygons in the set.

Name	Return Type	Parameters	Description
createPoint	vcPolygonPoint	vcVector vec or Real x, Real y, Real z	Adds a new point to the set using either a given vector or XYZ coordinates, and then returns the new point.
createPolygon	vcPolygon	None	Adds a new empty polygon to the set, and then returns the new polygon.
deletePolygon	None	vcPolygon polygon or Integer index	Deletes a given polygon from the set or a polygon at a given index in the set.
filterDuplicatePolygons	None	None	Traverses through set and removes all duplicate polygons, thereby reducing data count.
getPolygon	vcPolygon	Integer index	Returns a polygon at a given index in the set.
smoothGroupProcessing	None	None	Performs a cleanup operation for grouped polygon sets in order to render smooth surfaces.
triangulate	None	None	Performs a cleanup operation for polygons in the set to have three sides, thereby possibly increasing data count.
update	None	None	Updates the set, thereby recalculating all polygons in the set and its bound box.
updatePointSurrounding	None	vcPolygonPoint point	Updates points in the set neighboring a given point.
