Detailed Description

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT = int>
class OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >

This class is intended to manage the lifecycle of properties. It also defines convenience operators to access the encapsulated property's value.

It is recommended to use the factory functions makeTemporaryProperty(), getProperty(), and getOrMakeProperty() to construct a PropertyManager, e.g.

Note that the second template parameter is depcretated.

{
    TriMesh mesh;
    auto visited = makeTemporaryProperty<VertexHandle, bool>(mesh);

    for (auto vh : mesh.vertices()) {
        if (!visited[vh]) {
            visitComponent(mesh, vh, visited);
        }
    }
    // The property is automatically removed at the end of the scope
}

OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::OM_DEPRECATED

(

"Use the constructor without parameter 'existing' instead. Check for existance with hasProperty"

Deprecated:

Use a constructor without existing and check existance with hasProperty() instead.

Constructor.

Throws an std::runtime_error if existing is true and no property named propname of the appropriate property type exists.

Parameters

mesh	The mesh on which to create the property.
propname	The name of the property.
existing	If false, a new property is created and its lifecycle is managed (i.e. the property is deleted upon destruction of the PropertyManager instance). If true, the instance merely acts as a convenience wrapper around an existing property with no lifecycle management whatsoever.
