iContentChunkInstance::getGroundPointer()

Description

Provides access to a transformed iFaceVertexMesh object managed internally by the content chunk instance.

Syntax

const iFaceVertexMesh* getGroundPointer() const;

Return Value

A pointer to an object derived internally by PathEngine from the iFaceVertexMesh interface, corresponding to the ground elements of the instanced content chunk scaled, rotated and translated according to the parameters specified when creating this content chunk instance.
This pointer may be zero in the case where the content chunk contains no anchor and pinned shape elements.

Remarks

The returned pointer can be passed into PathEngine 2D content processing, together with other ground geometry.

Because the returned pointer is to an object managed internally by the content chunk instance, this pointer will be invalidated when this content chunk instance is destroyed.
