Edge Class Reference

## Detailed Description

The Edge object gives access to the geometry edges of an X3DObject's primitive.

Edges are the PolygonMesh-specifics of Segments. You can reach edges from PolygonFace::GetEdges and PolygonMesh::GetEdges.

  CEdgeRefArray, Segment, Vertex, PolygonMesh, Geometry

Example:

            using namespace XSI;
            Application app;
            Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

            X3DObject myCube;
            root.AddGeometry( L"Cube", L"MeshSurface", L"", myCube );

            PolygonMesh mesh( myCube.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry() );

            Edge edge( mesh.GetEdges().GetItem(0) );
            app.LogMessage( L"This object is an: " + edge.GetClassIDName() );

## Member Function Documentation

bool IsA | ( | siClassID | in_ClassID | ) | const `[virtual]`

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

  in_ClassID | class type.

Returns:
  true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from Segment.

siClassID GetClassID | ( |  | ) | const `[virtual]`

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:
  The class type.

Reimplemented from Segment.

Edge& operator= | ( | const Edge & | in_obj | ) |

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_obj | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Edge object.

Edge& operator= | ( | const CRef & | in_ref | ) |

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

  in_ref | constant class object.

Returns:
  The new Edge object.

Reimplemented from Segment.

CVertexRefArray GetVertices | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the vertices at the ends of this edge.

Returns:
  An array of Vertex objects

CPolygonNodeRefArray GetNodes | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the PolygonNode objects adjacent to this edge.

Returns:
  An array of PolygonNode objects

CVertexRefArray GetNeighborVertices | ( | LONG | in_lDistance = `1` | ) | const

Returns an array of Vertex neighbors within a given distance.If the distance is 1, the 2 Vertex objects comprising the current Edge are returned.

Parameters:

  in_lDistance | Value Represents the degree of neighborhood (eg., degree=2 for an edge means its adjacent vertices plus the adjacent vertices of the adjacent vertices).

Returns:
  An array of Vertex objects

CEdgeRefArray GetNeighborEdges | ( | LONG | in_lDistance = `1` | ) | const

Returns an array of Edge neighbors within a given distance.If the distance is 1 the Edge objects are returned in counter-clockwise order.

Parameters:

Returns:
  An array of Edge objects

CPolygonFaceRefArray GetNeighborPolygons | ( | LONG | in_lDistance = `1` | ) | const

Returns an array of PolygonFace neighbors within a given distance.If the distance is 1 the adjacent PolygonFace objects are returned (1 if border edge, 2 otherwise).

Parameters:

  in_lDistance | Value representing the degree of neighborhood (eg., degree=2 for an edge means its adjacent vertices plus the adjacent vertices of the adjacent vertices).

Returns:
  An array of PolygonFace objects

CEdgeRefArray GrowNeighborEdges | ( | LONG | in_lDistance = `1` | ) | const

Returns an array of Edge objects that are adjacent to this Edge object, within a given distance.

Parameters:

  in_lDistance | Value representing the degree of neighborhood (eg., degree=2 for an edge means its adjacent vertices plus the adjacent vertices of the adjacent vertices).

Returns:
  An array of Edge objects

double GetCrease | ( |  | ) | const
