vrpatch2ifs

Convert MATLAB patches to VRML IndexedFaceSet nodes

Syntax

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,world)

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,shape)

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,parent)

vrpatch2ifs(patches,ifs)

Description

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,world) converts the patches array and saves the

result into the vrnode array node. Each resulting IndexedFaceSet node in node is

wrapped by the created Shape node residing in a root level of the world virtual world.

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,shape) converts the patches array and saves the

result into the vrnode array node. Each resulting IndexedFaceSet node in node

is a child of the respective Shape node in the shape array. If the Shape node already

contains an IndexedFaceSet node, that IndexedFaceSet is overwritten. The number

of patches must equal the number of Shape nodes.

Note: This function converts only geometry and color data of the patch.

node = vrpatch2ifs(patches,parent) converts the patches array and saves the

result into the vrnode array node. Each resulting IndexedFaceSet node in node is

wrapped by the created Shape node that is a child of the parent node.

vrpatch2ifs(patches,ifs) converts the patches array and saves the result into

ifs array of existing VRML IndexedFaceSet nodes, overwriting the IndexedFaceSet

nodes. The number of patches must equal the number of IndexedFaceSet nodes.
