Detailed Description

Class that takes care of tessellation of polygons into triangles.

It is expected that client code will create the tessellator object, then repeatedly call addPolygon() method that will generate triangles, and finally call data() to get final vertex data.

Optionally provides extrusion by adding triangles that serve as walls when extrusion height is non-zero.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QgsTessellator() [1/2]

QgsTessellator::QgsTessellator	(	double	originX,
		double	originY,
		bool	addNormals,
		bool	invertNormals = false,
		bool	addBackFaces = false,
		bool	noZ = false,
		bool	addTextureCoords = false,
		int	facade = 3,
		float	textureRotation = 0.0f
	)

Creates tessellator with a specified origin point of the world (in map coordinates)

Definition at line 179 of file qgstessellator.cpp.

QgsTessellator() [2/2]

QgsTessellator::QgsTessellator	(	const QgsRectangle &	bounds,
		bool	addNormals,
		bool	invertNormals = false,
		bool	addBackFaces = false,
		bool	noZ = false,
		bool	addTextureCoords = false,
		int	facade = 3,
		float	textureRotation = 0.0f
	)

Creates tessellator with a specified bounds of input geometry coordinates.

This constructor allows the tessellator to map input coordinates to a desirable range for numerical stability during calculations.

If noZ is true, then a 2-dimensional tessellation only will be performed and all z coordinates will be ignored.

addPolygon()

void QgsTessellator::addPolygon	(	const QgsPolygon &	polygon,
		float	extrusionHeight
	)

Tessellates a triangle and adds its vertex entries to the output data array.

asMultiPolygon()

std::unique_ptr< QgsMultiPolygon > QgsTessellator::asMultiPolygon

(

)

const

Returns the triangulation as a multipolygon geometry.

Definition at line 818 of file qgstessellator.cpp.

data()

QVector< float > QgsTessellator::data ( ) const

inline

Returns array of triangle vertex data.

Vertice coordinates are stored as (x, z, -y)

Definition at line 82 of file qgstessellator.h.

dataVerticesCount()

int QgsTessellator::dataVerticesCount

(

)

const

Returns the number of vertices stored in the output data array.

error()

QString QgsTessellator::error ( ) const

inline

Returns a descriptive error string if the tessellation failed.

Since

Definition at line 112 of file qgstessellator.h.

isOutputZUp()

bool QgsTessellator::isOutputZUp ( ) const

inline

Returns whether the "up" direction should be the Z axis on output (true), otherwise the "up" direction will be the Y axis (false).

The default value is false (to keep compatibility for existing tessellator use cases).

setOutputZUp()

void QgsTessellator::setOutputZUp ( bool  zUp )

inline

Sets whether the "up" direction should be the Z axis on output (true), otherwise the "up" direction will be the Y axis (false).

The default value is false (to keep compatibility for existing tessellator use cases).
