The ConnectEdges method in the PolygonMesh class is used to connect a series of specified edges by adding a vertex at the midpoint of each edge and then connecting these vertices. This operation is useful for creating new geometry by linking existing edges in a mesh.
To use the ConnectEdges method, you need to provide a list of edges that you want to connect. The method will output a list of new edges that are created as a result of this operation.
Parameters:
edges: A read-only list of HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle representing the edges to be connected.newEdges: An output parameter that will contain the list of new HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle created by connecting the edges.Returns: A Boolean indicating whether the operation was successful.
// Example usage of ConnectEdges method
var polygonMesh = new PolygonMesh();
var edgesToConnect = new List<HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle> { edge1, edge2, edge3 };
var newEdges = new List<HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle>();
bool success = polygonMesh.ConnectEdges(edgesToConnect, out newEdges);
if (success)
{
// The edges were successfully connected
// newEdges now contains the handles to the newly created edges
}
else
{
// The operation failed
}
