Detailed Description

This class represents a single triangular face.

The class maintains three indices into the vertex list for the face, a 32-bit smoothing group for the face, and 32-bits of face flags. The flags also store information about the visibility of the face, the visibility of the three edges, and whether or not the face has texture vertices present. The most significant 16-bits of the face flags store the material index. All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Returns: 1 if v1 follows v0 in sequence (This includes e.g. when Face::v[2] == v0 and Face::v[0] == v1.) -1 if v0 follows v1 in sequence 0 if v0 or v1 are not on the face.

◆ GetVertIndex()

DllExport DWORD GetVertIndex ( DWORD v0 )

◆ OrderVerts()

DllExport void OrderVerts	(	DWORD &	v0,

This method switches v0,v1 if needed to put them in face-order.

If v0 and v1 are in the order in which they appear in the face, or if one or both of them are not actually on the face, nothing happens. If however v0 follows v1, the values of the parameters are switched, so that they are then in the correct order for this face. Sample Code:

Face & f = mesh.faces[edge.f[0]];
DWORD v0 = edge.v[0];
DWORD v1 = edge.v[1];
// Switch v0, v1 if needed to match orientation in selected face.
f.OrderVerts(v0,v1);

Parameters

v0	One vertex on this face.
v1	Another vertex on this face.

Member Data Documentation

◆ v

DWORD v[3]

These are zero-based indices into a mesh object's array of vertices.

◆ smGroup

DWORD smGroup

Smoothing group bits for the face.

Each bit of this 32 bit value represents membership in a smoothing group. The least significant bit represents smoothing group #1 while the most significant bit represents group #32. If two adjacent faces are assigned the same smoothing group bit, the edge between them is rendered smoothly.

◆ flags

DWORD flags

The Face Flags: Can be from the following list:

The flags in Edge Visibility Flags
The FACE_HIDDEN flag (Face visibility bit: if the bit is 1, the face is hidden).
The Mesh::mapSupport() function.
Material ID Masks to access the Material ID (which is stored in the HIWORD of the face flags).
