-- File: Poly_Triangulation.cdl -- Created: Mon Mar 6 09:57:02 1995 -- Author: Laurent PAINNOT -- ---Copyright: Matra Datavision 1995 class Triangulation from Poly inherits TShared from MMgt ---Purpose: Provides a triangulation for a surface, a set of surfaces, or -- more generally a shape. -- A triangulation consists of an approximate representation -- of the actual shape, using a collection of points and -- triangles. The points are located on the surface. The -- edges of the triangles connect adjacent points with a -- straight line that approximates the true curve on the surface. -- A triangulation comprises: -- - A table of 3D nodes (3D points on the surface). -- - A table of triangles. Each triangle (Poly_Triangle -- object) comprises a triplet of indices in the table of 3D -- nodes specific to the triangulation. -- - A table of 2D nodes (2D points), parallel to the table of -- 3D nodes. This table is optional. If it exists, the -- coordinates of a 2D point are the (u, v) parameters -- of the corresponding 3D point on the surface -- approximated by the triangulation. -- - A deflection (optional), which maximizes the distance -- from a point on the surface to the corresponding point -- on its approximate triangulation. -- In many cases, algorithms do not need to work with the -- exact representation of a surface. A triangular -- representation induces simpler and more robust adjusting, -- faster performances, and the results are as good. uses HArray1OfPnt2d from TColgp, Array1OfPnt from TColgp, Array1OfPnt2d from TColgp, Array1OfTriangle from Poly, HArray1OfShortReal from TShort, Array1OfShortReal from TShort raises DomainError from Standard, NullObject from Standard is Create(nbNodes, nbTriangles: Integer; UVNodes: Boolean) returns mutable Triangulation from Poly; ---Purpose: Constructs a triangulation from a set of triangles. The -- triangulation is initialized without a triangle or a node, but capable of -- containing nbNodes nodes, and nbTriangles -- triangles. Here the UVNodes flag indicates whether -- 2D nodes will be associated with 3D ones, (i.e. to -- enable a 2D representation).
