PolyfaceData Class

PolyfaceData carries data arrays for point, normal, param, color and their indices.

  • IndexedPolyface carries a PolyfaceData as a member. (NOT as a base class -- it already has GeometryQuery as base)
  • IndexedPolyfaceVisitor uses PolyfaceData as a base class. In this use there is only a single facet in the polyfaceData.
  • PolyfaceData does not know (!!!) what indices range constitute a facet. That is managed by derived class or carrier class.

clone(): PolyfaceData Return a depp clone.  
compress(): void * Search for duplication of coordinates within points, normals, and params.  
copyNormalTo(i: number, dest: Vector3d): void Copy the contents (not pointer) of normal[i] into dest.  
copyParamTo(i: number, dest: Point2d): void Copy the contents (not pointer) of param[i] into dest.  
copyPointTo(i: number, dest: Point3d): void Copy the contents (not pointer) of point[i] into dest.  
gatherIndexedData(other: PolyfaceData, index0: number, index1: number, numWrap: number): void * Copy data from other to this.  
getColor(i: number): number return indexed color

getNormal(i: number): undefined | Vector3d return indexed normal.  
getParam(i: number): undefined | Point2d return indexed param.  
getPoint(i: number, out?: Point3d): undefined | Point3d return indexed point.  
isAlmostEqual(other: PolyfaceData): boolean Test for equal indices and nearly equal coordinates  
isAlmostEqualParamIndexUV(index: number, u: number, v: number): boolean test if normal at a specified index matches uv  
range(result?: Range3d, transform?: Transform): Range3d Return the range of the point array (optionally transformed)  
resizeAllDataArrays(length: number): void Resize all data arrays to specified length  
reverseIndices(facetStartIndex?: number[]): void reverse indices facet-by-facet, with the given facetStartIndex array delimiting faces.  
reverseIndicesSingleFacet(facetId: number, facetStartIndex: number[]): void reverse indices facet-by-facet, with the given facetStartIndex array delimiting faces.  
reverseNormals(): void Scale all the normals by -1  
setTaggedNumericData(data: undefined | TaggedNumericData): void set the taggedNumericData member  
trimAllIndexArrays(length: number): void Trim all index arrays to stated length.  
tryTransformInPlace(transform: Transform): boolean Apply transform to point and normal arrays and to auxData.  
isValidFacetStartIndexArray(facetStartIndex: number[]): boolean Static Test if facetStartIndex is (minimally!) valid:  
reverseIndices<T>(facetStartIndex: number[], indices: undefined | T[], preserveStart: boolean): boolean Static Reverse data in entire facet indexing arrays.  
reverseIndicesSingleFacet<T>(facetId: number, facetStartIndex: number[], indices: undefined | T[], preserveStart: boolean): boolean Static Reverse data in entire facet indexing arrays.
