public class PgElementSet

extends PgPointSet

Base class for most geometric surfaces with polygonal faces formed by vertices. The class contains an array with faces, i.e. elements, and each element may have different number of vertices. Each element is an instance of type PiVector containing indices of the vertices which are stored in the superclass PgPointSet. Additionally, there exist instance variables for element normals, element colors, element texture coordinates, and other element properties. Note, that such element properties are not stored with each element but each property is stored in an additional array of same length as the array of elements. If a property is not available then the corresponding array is null.

The dimension of all points is determined as argument of the constructor and cannot be changed later. See PgPointSet for details about allocation and access.

The number of vertices per element may be the same for all elements of the element set, and assigned using the method setDimOfElements(int). Or, the size of elements may differ in which case getDimOfElements()==-1, which is the default case. The advantage of the first case is, that the class is able to do more memory allocations automatically.

There exist several utility functions to allocate and modify the number of elements, for example,

	setNumElements(int num)
 

allocates num elements. Internally, there exists a cache to reduce the number of actual memory allocations. The size of the cache is managed by protected methods.

Whenever the number of elements is changed, the class automatically adjusts the size of those element properties which are currently in use, i.e. whose array is not null.

Applications may modify the entries of an element and of element properties by direct method calls such as

	setElement(int, PiVector)
 

which sets the element with index ind equal to the components of a vector v by copying. Alternatively, if an application modifies a larger number of elements then the application may prefer to obtain the element array from the element set and directly modify the array

	PiVector [] element = elementSet.getElements();
	for (int i=0; i<elementSet.getNumElements(); i++)
		element[i].copy(v);
 

The same choice is available for arrays containing element properties. Note, that classes like PgElementSet, may not reference all vertices, e.g. if the currently active elements consists of a subset of all vertices. Also note, that the actual size of the element array may differ from m_numElements efficiency reasons. Therefore, do not use element.length but use getNumElements().

This class contains mainly basic methods for memory allocation and access to instance variables. Geometric methods operating on element sets such as computing a specific surface or computing the intersection of two surfaces are available in special workshop classes as extensions outside the base JavaView packages.

A good starting to obtain further insight are methods like computeTorus (if source code access to JavaView is available), or the tutorial applets of JavaView.

getEdgeList

public PgElementEdge[] getEdgeList()

Generate list of edges from element information. The routine computes an array of edges temporarily in a single pass through all elements. Additionally, it stores the (1, 2, ..) elements sharing an edge.

The method allows an edge to be shared by more than two elements, i.e. non-manifold polyhedrons. Method consists of code from previous version of makeNeighbour(), which now calls getEdgeList(). Therefore, the method does not use any neighbour information.

During edge collection, each edge is stored in the array edgesAtVertex at an index equal to the lowest of its two vertex indices. After the collection, each entry of edgesAtVertex is a vector containing those edges emanating from this vertex to vertices with higher vertex index. The entry at index i in edgesAtVertex is a java.util.Vector which contains all edges emanting from vertex with index i to vertices with higher index.

This algorithm requires the array edgesAtVertex to have size equal to m_numVertices but allows linear runtime when finding entries with identical edges. When collection is finsihed, usually some array entries will null. The return parameter is an array of edges constructed from edgesAtVertex.

Note, think about using getEdge to obtain just a few edges.

Returns:

array with all edge, size equals number of edges.

See Also:

makeNeighbour

public boolean makeNeighbour()

Generate neighbourhood information for a given manifold polyhedron. The routine computes an array of edges temporarily in a single pass through all elements, and uses this information to fill out the neighbour instance variable. The diagram details this.

Since version 2.60 the construction of the edge list is outsourced in getEdgeList().

Edges belonging to more than two elements become a boundary edge in each element.

Returns:

boolean false, if polyhedron is not a manifold, i.e. an edge is shared by more than two elements.

makeElementNormals

public boolean makeElementNormals()

Compute element normals from edge crossproducts. For each element, a normal is computed at each of its vertices as the crossproduct of the adjacent edges. These vertex normals are then added, and the normalized sum used as element normal. This strategy reduces the effect of non-planar elements.

Method works for convex elements only.

See Also:

Remove all elements which have been marked PsObject.IS_DELETED. E.g. after application of method close() elements are no longer in use since elements are shrunk at zero-length boundary curves. First, the method computes where each element is moved to, then all element data is moved and the references to the element in bnd curves is changed. This routine is O(n).

Method assumes that there exist no references to marked elements. Otherwise application of this method would lead to upredictable results.

Returns:

Array with indices of new positions of elements

Overrides:

Parameters:

aGeom - elementSet to be merged into 'this'

Returns:

true if method was successfull
