Triangular Mesh (DATA_TRIANGLE_MESH)

Datatype Information

OpenFlipper includes a datatype for triangular Meshes. The datastructure used to represent the Mesh is OpenMesh. OpenMesh is a generic and efficient data structure for representing and manipulating polygonal meshes. You can directly use it inside of OpenFlipper.
The basic object type for handling triangular meshes is the TriMeshObject. This object manages rendering and data storage of a triangular OpenMesh.
To get the actual mesh you can call the TriMeshObject::mesh() function which returns a pointer to the OpenMesh structure, which can be directly manipulated with the functions described in the OpenMesh Documentation.
