Replaces the current index buffer of the dynamic mesh with the specified array of indices.

Arguments

  • int[] indices - Array of indices to be set.
  • int indices_size - Number of indices to be set.

int[] GetIndicesArray ( ) #

Returns the index buffer of the dynamic mesh.

Return value

Index buffer of the dynamic mesh.

void AddPoints ( int num_points ) #

Adds the specified number of points to the dynamic mesh.

Arguments

  • int num_points - Number of points to be added.

void AddLineStrip ( int num_vertex ) #

Adds a line strip to the dynamic mesh. This method does not add vertices, rather it allocates indices, for which vertices should be then created with one of the addVertex*() methods. Indices will point to vertices starting from the current last vertex in the vertex buffer.

Arguments

  • int num_vertex - Number of vertices comprising the strip.

void AddTriangles ( int num_triangles ) #

Adds the specified number of triangles to the dynamic mesh.

Arguments

  • int num_triangles - Number of triangles to be added.

void AddTriangleFan ( int num_vertex ) #

Adds a triangle fan to the dynamic mesh. This method does not add vertices, rather it allocates indices, for which vertices should be then created with one of the addVertex*() methods. Indices will point to vertices starting from the current last vertex in the vertex buffer.

Arguments

  • int num_vertex - Number of vertices comprising the fan.

void AddTriangleStrip ( int num_vertex ) #

Adds a triangle strip to the dynamic mesh. This method does not add vertices, rather it allocates indices, for which vertices should be then created with one of the addVertex*() methods. Indices will point to vertices starting from the current last vertex in the vertex buffer.

Arguments

  • int num_vertex - Number of vertices comprising the strip.

void AddTriangleQuads ( int num_quads ) #

Adds a given number of quadrilaterals to the dynamic mesh. This method does not add vertices, rather it allocates indices, for which vertices should be then created with one of the addVertex*() methods. Indices will point to vertices starting from the current last vertex in the vertex buffer.

Arguments

  • int num_quads - Number of quadrilaterals to be added.

bool SaveState ( Stream stream ) #

Saves the current state of the dynamic mesh (vertices, indices, etc.) to the specified stream.

Saving into the stream requires creating a blob to save into. To restore the saved state the RestoreState() method is used:

Source code (C#)
// initialize a mesh and set its state
//...//

// save state
Blob blob_state = new Blob();
dynamicMesh.SaveState(blob_state);

// change the state
//...//

// restore state
blob_state.SeekSet(0);	// returning the carriage to the start of the blob
dynamicMesh.RestoreState(blob_state);

Arguments

  • Stream stream - Stream to which the state of the dynamic mesh is to be saved.

Return value

true if the current state of the dynamic mesh is saved successfully; otherwise, false.

bool RestoreState ( Stream stream ) #

Restores a previously saved state of the dynamic mesh (vertices, indices, etc.) from the specified stream.

Restoring from the stream requires creating a blob to save into and saving the state using the SaveState() method:

Source code (C#)
// initialize a mesh and set its state
//...//

// save state
Blob blob_state = new Blob();
dynamicMesh.SaveState(blob_state);

// change the state
//...//

// restore state
blob_state.SeekSet(0);	// returning the carriage to the start of the blob
dynamicMesh.RestoreState(blob_state);

Arguments

  • Stream stream - Stream from which the previously saved state of the dynamic mesh is to be loaded.

Return value

true if a previously saved state of the dynamic mesh is restored successfully; otherwise, false.
