Interface GM_Surface

All Superinterfaces:

GM_GenericSurface, GM_Object, GM_OrientablePrimitive, GM_OrientableSurface, GM_Primitive

All Known Implementing Classes:

GM_Surface_Impl

public interface GM_Surface

extends GM_OrientableSurface, GM_GenericSurface

Defining the surface geometry of the iso geometry model. a surface is made of 1..n surface patches. for convention it is defined that GM_Surface is a closed geometry. that means each surface patch a surface is made of must touch at least one other surface patch if a surface is made of more then one surface patch

Method Summary

void	addSurfacePatch(GM_SurfacePatch segment) adds a surface patch at the end of the curve
void	deleteSurfacePatchAt(int index) deletes the surface patch at the submitted index
int	getNumberOfSurfacePatches() returns the number of patches building the surface
GM_SurfacePatch	getSurfacePatchAt(int index) returns the surface patch at the submitted index
void	insertSurfacePatchAt(GM_SurfacePatch segment, int index) inserts a surface patch in the curve at the submitted position. all points with a position that equals index or is higher will be shifted
void	setSurfacePatchAt(GM_SurfacePatch segment, int index) writes a surface patch to the surface at submitted position. the old patch will be deleted
