Bases: sip.wrapper

Interface for mesh data sources

Mesh is a collection of vertices, edges and faces in 2D or 3D space

  • vertex - XY(Z) point (in the mesh’s coordinate reference system)

  • edge - two XY(Z) points (in the mesh’s coordinate reference system) representing straight seqment

  • faces - sets of vertices forming a closed shape - typically triangles or quadrilaterals

Base on the underlying data provider/format, whole mesh is either stored in memory or read on demand

Note

The API is considered EXPERIMENTAL and can be changed without a notice

Methods

contains
