## Detailed Description

Mesh intersector result.

This class is used to return information about a point on a mesh: 3D position, normal, barycentric coordinates, etc. Note that this can be a point anywhere on the surface of the mesh, not just at vertices.

Examples:

  closestPointCmd.cpp.

`#include <MMeshIntersector.h>`

This method returns the barycentric coordinates of the closest point on the mesh.

If the triangle has vertices (a, b, c) then the point returned by getPoint() is at coordinates `u*a + v*b + (1 - u - v)*c`. The barycentric coordinates are particularly useful when interpolating attributes from one mesh to another.

Parameters:

  [out] | u | The relative contribution of the first vertex of the triangle.
  [out] | v | The relative contribution of the second vertex of the triangle.
