## Detailed Description

Represents a triangle generated by a surface tesselation.

Example:
  This example shows how to print out the point positions and the triangle data for a polygon mesh.

            using namespace XSI;
            using namespace MATH;

            Application app;
            Model root = app.GetActiveSceneRoot();

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

            Geometry geom(myCube.GetActivePrimitive().GetGeometry());
            CPointRefArray points(geom.GetPoints());
            CVector3Array positions( geom.GetPoints().GetPositionArray() );

            LONG ulCount = positions.GetCount();
            app.LogMessage( L"Object: " + myCube.GetName() );
            app.LogMessage( L"Points: " + CValue((LONG)ulCount).GetAsText() );

            // Print out the x,y,z positions of each point
            for (LONG i=0; i<ulCount; ++i )
            {
                app.LogMessage(
                    CValue(positions[i].GetX()).GetAsText() + L"," +
                    CValue(positions[i].GetY()).GetAsText() + L"," +
                    CValue(positions[i].GetZ()).GetAsText() );
            }

            // Print out the point indices for each triangle
            CTriangleRefArray triangles(geom.GetTriangles());
            CLongArray indices( triangles.GetIndexArray() );

            app.LogMessage( L"Triangles: " + CValue(triangles.GetCount()).GetAsText());

            ulCount = indices.GetCount();
            for (i=0; i<ulCount; i += 3 )
            {
                app.LogMessage( CValue(indices[i]).GetAsText() + L"," +
                    CValue(indices[i+1]).GetAsText() + L"," +
                    CValue(indices[i+2]).GetAsText() );
            }
