Polygon Sets
Polygon sets in JavaView are essentially point sets with additional
information about how to connect points to each other with edges. Each
such row of connected points is called a polygon, all polygons together
form the polygon set.
Author Information,
Description and Name
These are described in the
Introduction
to Infopanels.
Vertex Information
Is already described in the
Infopanel
of Point Sets.
Polygon Information
Displays the
current number of polygons in this polygon set. Changing the value and
pressing
Enter
removes or adds polygons at the end
of the array.
Displays the
number of points that are connected by each polygon (if the polygons
have different number of points, this fact is displayed here instead).
Activate a checkbox to mark
the polygon with the given index. Deactivate to unmark the polygon.
Each
horizontal row of numbers
describes which vertices are connected to a polygon (and in which order
they are connected). Vertices are referenced by their index in the
vertex array. If you change anything type
Enter
to make the change effective.
Every polygon can have additional
information attached to it. You can edit this information by clicking
on this button. The information is not yet
saved
in jvx or other file formats, you need to save a serialized geometry.
