Detailed Description

Face vertex iterator.

This class is the iterator for face vertices on polygonal surfaces.

The iterator functions in two modes depending on whether a component is specified. When a component is not given or is NULL the iteration will be over all polygons for the surface. When a component is given this iterator will iterate over the polygons specified in the component. When iterating over components a DAG path to the surface must also be supplied.
