IGetTessTriStripEdges Method (IPartDoc)

Gets the edge ID for each of the edges in the triangles that make up the tessellation for this part.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Function IGetTessTriStripEdges() As Integer
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IPartDoc
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.IGetTessTriStripEdges()
C# 
int IGetTessTriStripEdges()
C++/CLI 
int IGetTessTriStripEdges(); 

Return Value

  • in-process, unmanaged C++: Pointer to an array of longs containing the list of edge IDs for this part document (see Remarks)
  • VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported
  • See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

    Remarks

    The format of the returned data is:

     

    DWORD FaceCount

     

     

    DWORD StripCount

     

     

    DWORD EdgeCount

     

     

    ForEach Face

     

     

    DWORD StripCount

     

     

    DWORD [StripLengths]

     

     

    ForEach Strip 

    (where this is an array of edge IDs for each strip from 1 to (VertexPerStrip-1). Element 0 indicates if that a triangle strip exists (value = 1) or a single triangle (value = 0))

     

    Long [EdgeIds]

     

     

    where:

     

    FaceCount:

    Number of faces on the body

     

    StripCount:

    Total number of strips on the body

     

    EdgeCount:

    Total number of vertices

     

    NumStrips:

    Number of strips on a particular face

     

    StripLengths:

    Array containing the number of vertex points on particular face strip

     

    EdgeIds:

    Array of edge IDs for each vertex on the particular face strip

     

    For triangle strips, EdgeIds is:

    If the strip has n vertices, then there are 2(n 2) + 1 edge tags. The i-th element of the tags array (starting at i = 1) will be the tag of the edge between vertex floor((i 1) / 2) + 1 and vertex floor(i/2) + 2, where floor(x) is the integer portion of x.

    For single triangles, EdgeIds is:

    The i-th element of the tags array (starting at i = 1) will be the tag of the edge between vertex i-1 (if i=1 then i=n) and vertex i.
