cee::geo::DataTriangleFan

class DataTriangleFan : public Data

Data structure representing triangle strip data for a geometry part used in the GeometryModel

A triangle fan is used to produce a group of connected triangles that fan around a central point. The first vertex forms the origin of the fan. After the first three vertices are used to draw the initial triangle, all subsequent vertices are used with the origin (V0) and the vertex immediately preceding it (Vn-1) to form the next triangle.

Indices:    0 1 2 3 4 5 ...
Triangles: {0 1 2}
           {0} {2 3}
           {0}   {3 4}
           {0}     {4 5}

A vertices array of length n, will generate n - 2 triangles

Public Functions
