Purpose

The node SoIndexedTriangleSet represents a 3D shape formed by constructing triangles from vertices located at the coordinates specified by SoVertexProperty or the current inherited state. For optimal performance, using the vertexProperty field is recommended.

SoIndexedTriangleSet uses the indices in the Coord Index field to specify the triangles faces. There is no delimiter in the index array, so each three subsequent indices define a triangle.

Input Fields

vertexProperty

name: vertexProperty, type: SoNode

The coordinates are specified in SoVertexProperty or the current inherited state.

Output Fields

self

name: self, type: SoNode

Parameter Fields

Field Index

Coord Index: IntegerList

Material Index: IntegerList

Normal Index: IntegerList

sendAdjacency: Bool

Texture Coord Index: IntegerList

Visible Fields

Coord Index

name: coordIndex, type: IntegerList, default: 0

Sets the coordinate indices.

Each three subsequent indices define a triangle; there is no delimiter.

Material Index

name: materialIndex, type: IntegerList, default: -1

Sets the material indices.

The treatment of the current material binding is as follows: The PER_PART and PER_FACE bindings specify a material for each face, while PER_VERTEX specifies a material for each vertex. The corresponding _INDEXED bindings function similarly but utilize the materialIndex indices (see SoIndexedShape). The default material binding is OVERALL.

Normal Index

name: normalIndex, type: IntegerList, default: -1

Sets the normal indices.

The treatment of the current material binding is as follows: The PER_PART and PER_FACE bindings specify a normal for each face, while PER_VERTEX specifies a normal for each vertex. The corresponding _INDEXED bindings function similarly but utilize the normalIndex indices (see SoIndexedShape). The default normal binding is PER_VERTEX_INDEXED.

Texture Coord Index

name: textureCoordIndex, type: IntegerList, default: -1

Sets the texture coordinate indices.

The textures are applied as described for IndexedShapes.

Hidden Fields

sendAdjacency

name: sendAdjacency, type: Bool, default: FALSE
