Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class TSurface< T >

Generic Three-dimensional Surface class.

This class describes a three-dimensional triangulated surface. Each triangle is represented by three indices to vertices (as described by the TSurface::Triangle ). Each of the vertices has a position and possibly a normal vector associated.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T> float TSurface< T >::getArea (   )  const throw ()

Compute the surface area. The area is computed as the sum of the areas of all triangles.

template<typename T> void TSurface< T >::readMSMSFile (  const String &  vert_filename, const String &  face_filename )  throw (Exception::FileNotFound)

Read from MSMS file. Read the contents of the vertex and faces file created by Michael Sanners software MSMS.
