Interface VertexContainer

All Known Implementing Classes:

VertexList

public interface VertexContainer

Provides access to the vertices in an object.

Method Summary

boolean	getVertex(int i, Tuple3f coord) This allows the spatial container to have access to all the vertices in the object.
int	getVertexCount()

Method Detail

getVertexCount

int getVertexCount()

Returns:

the number of vertices in this object. This could be the number of vertices which form a convex hull or it could be the the total number of vertices in the object. If the object is a triangle then this would return a count of 3.

getVertex

boolean getVertex(int i,
                  Tuple3f coord)

This allows the spatial container to have access to all the vertices in the object. This allows for the computation of bounding boxes which completely enclose the bounding box. The vertices need to be returned in world coordinates, not local coordinates.

Parameters:

i -

coord -
