The GetEdgesConnectedToFace method retrieves all the edges that are connected to a specified face in a polygon mesh. This method is useful for understanding the topology of a mesh by examining the relationships between its faces and edges.
The GetEdgesConnectedToFace method retrieves all the edges that are connected to a specified face in a polygon mesh. This method is useful for understanding the topology of a mesh by examining the relationships between its faces and edges.
To use the GetEdgesConnectedToFace method, you need to provide a face handle as input. The method will output a list of half-edge handles that are connected to the specified face.
Parameters:
hFace: A HalfEdgeMesh.FaceHandle representing the face for which you want to find connected edges.edges: An output parameter that will contain a list of HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle objects representing the edges connected to the specified face.Returns: A Boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful. It returns true if the edges were successfully retrieved, otherwise false.
// Example usage of GetEdgesConnectedToFace
PolygonMesh polygonMesh = new PolygonMesh();
HalfEdgeMesh.FaceHandle faceHandle = ...; // Assume this is a valid face handle
List<HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle> connectedEdges = new List<HalfEdgeMesh.HalfEdgeHandle>();
bool success = polygonMesh.GetEdgesConnectedToFace(faceHandle, out connectedEdges);
if (success)
{
foreach (var edge in connectedEdges)
{
// Process each connected edge
}
}
else
{
// Handle the case where no edges were found
}
