iContentProcessing3D::generateHullsForVisualisation()

Description

Generates convex hulls for a set of solid objects defined by point sets (for visualisation purposes).

Syntax

iFaceVertexMesh*
generateHullsForVisualisation(
        const iSolidObjects& solidObjects
        ) const;
        

Parameters

solidObjects An object derived from the iSolidObjects interface class to define point sets for the solid objects to be processed.

Return value

A pointer to a face vertex mesh object created internally by PathEngine.
The memory for the returned object is allocated internally by PathEngine and so this object should not be deleted directly by the calling application. Use iContentProcessing3D::deleteHullsForVisualisation(), instead.

Remarks

Note that this method is provided just for visualisation of solid objects.
The resulting mesh should not be used as a 3D content processing parameter as it's much more efficient for PathEngine to work with the solid object representation directly.
