SoFaceSet¶

InventorModule¶

genre	`InventorNodesAutomatic`
author	`Silicon Graphics Inc`
package	`MeVisLab/Standard`
definition	inventor.def

Purpose¶

The node SoFaceSet renders a set of faces, each consisting of three or more vertices taken in order from the current coordinates. The Start Index field specifies the starting coordinate index for the first face, while the number of vertices in each face is determined by successive entries in the Num Vertices field.

Details¶

For optimized rendering, the faces should be specified in this order: triangles, quads, other polygons.

Input Fields¶

vertexProperty¶

name: vertexProperty, type: SoNode¶: Optional SoVertexProperty input that can be used to provide vertex data instead of using the Open Inventor state.

Output Fields¶

self¶

name: self, type: SoNode¶: Node to be placed into the Open Inventor scene.

Parameter Fields¶

Visible Fields¶

Start Index¶

name: startIndex, type: Integer, default: 0¶: Sets the start index of the first face to be rendered.

Num Vertices¶

name: numVertices, type: IntegerList, default: -1¶

Sets a list of vertices for each face.

For example, [3, 3, 4, 4, 5] renders two triangles, two quads, and one polygon with five points.

Hidden Fields¶

sendAdjacency¶

name: sendAdjacency, type: Bool, default: FALSE¶
