Curve and Edge Tessellation
You can calculate tessellation for different types of geometry. The tessellation is made up of small lines (for edges and curves), or triangles (for surfaces and solid models).
Functions Introduced:
The function
ProEdgeTessellationGet() enables you to invoke the algorithm that generates a sequence of lines from an arbitrary curved edge. This function provides the following outputs:
• An array of the XYZ coordinates of the vertices between the tessellations
• The two surfaces that neighbor the edge (as also provided by
ProEdgeNeighborsGet()). If the edge is a single-sided edge, then the output argument returns only one surface.
• An array of uv pairs for the tessellation vertices in the first neighboring surface
• An array of uv pairs for the second neighboring surface
• The number of tessellation vertices
The function
ProCurveTessellationGet() retrieves the curve tessellation for a datum curve. It returns the number of tessellation points and a list of them.
