Hello Daniel,
As you suggested, i made the vertex,edge and face records protected members
in the PolygonalMesh class. So now there will be no problem with passing
arguments or returning any. They are initialized in the BrlcadMesh class
constructor.
I did think about changing the vector to a map. Then, i'd have to change
the attributes of the structures DCEL_Vertex, etc. And the accessing code
will become lengthier (and non-intuitive maybe?). Also, for edges the ID is
not an integer, it's a pair of integers (the IDs of the two constituent
vertices). Thus map for that would become ugly. So is it okay if i stick
with vectors?
I'm attaching the link to the updated code:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7N8x571Yp6VLVVjYzNVZFAxajA
Whenever i need to add/remove/modify (remove functions will be trickier
than the add and modify functions?) information in the meshes, i'd have to
update both the DCEL and the native structure. So essentially, the access
functions in the PolygonalMesh class will update both the DCEL and the
rt_bot_internal structure? I will be adding these functions as i write the
mesh healing algorithms.
Regards,
Rakshika.
