Detailed Description

an interface for geometry data.

Member Function Documentation

getTriMesh()

virtual rw::core::Ptr<TriMesh> getTriMesh ( bool  forceCopy = true )

pure virtual

gets a trimesh representation of this geometry data.

The trimesh that is returned is by default a copy, which means ownership is transfered to the caller. Specifying forceCopy to false will enable copy by reference and ownership is not necesarilly transfered. This is more efficient, though pointer is only alive as long as this GeometryData is alive.

Returns

TriMesh representation of this GeometryData

Implemented in TriMesh, SimpleTriMesh, Primitive, PointCloud, Shell, and BREP.

isConvex()

virtual bool isConvex ( )

inlinevirtual

test if this geometry data is convex

Returns

true if convex

Reimplemented in Shell, QuadraticShell, ImplicitShell, TriMesh, Primitive, PlainQuadraticShell, IndexedQuadraticFaceArray, IndexedFaceArray, and BREP.

toString()

static std::string toString ( GeometryType  type )

static

format GeometryType to string

Parameters

type
