// DESCRIPTION:
//
// This plug-in demonstrates how to add user defined triangulation for meshes
// using the poly API class "MPxPolyTrg".
//
// This node registers a user defined face triangulation function.
// After the function is registered, it can be used by any mesh in
// the scene to do the triangulation (replace the mesh native
// triangulation). In order for the mesh to use this function,
// an attribute on the mesh: "userTrg" has to be set to the name
// of the function.
//
// Different meshes may use different functions. Each of them
// needs to be registered. The same node can provide more than
// one function.
//
// Example:
// createNode polyTrgNode -n ptrg;
//
// polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -tx 0 -ch 1 -n pp1;
//
// select -r pp1Shape;
// setAttr pp1Shape.userTrg -type "string" "triangulate";
