Detailed Description

A geometry object for intersection testing static triangle meshes.

An IntersectionMesh object is a rigid collection of polygons. It contains a list of triangles. Each triangle has 3 vertices and a reference to a Shader. The shader is used purely for surface type queries.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Q::IntersectionMesh::IntersectionMesh (   )  [inline]
 

Create a null mesh reference.

Q::IntersectionMesh::IntersectionMesh (  const char *  name  ) 
 

Search the currently attached databases for a mesh with the given name.

Member Function Documentation

IntersectionMesh Q::IntersectionMesh::cast (  const ObjectBase &   )  [static]
 

If the object referenced by obj is an intersection mesh, then return a suitable IntersectionMesh reference to the object.

Note:
Casting this object will cause it to be loaded from the database if it is not currently resident.

Reimplemented from Q::Geom.

ClassType Q::IntersectionMesh::classType (   )  [static]
 

Return the type for this class

IntersectionMesh Q::IntersectionMesh::create (  const char *  name,
const Database &  db = Database()
)  [static]
 

Create a new mesh named name in the given database, db, (or the most recently attached read-write database if db is null). The values of the new object's intersectable flag is set to true.

IntersectionMesh Q::IntersectionMesh::find (  const char *  name  )  [static]
 

Search the currently attached databases for an intersection mesh with the given name and return that object, if it exists.

unsigned int Q::IntersectionMesh::triangleCount (   )  const
 

Return the number of triangles in the mesh.

FullTriangleIterator Q::IntersectionMesh::triangles (   ) 
 

Return an iterator that can be used to examine and edit the triangles for a mesh.
