in vertexFormat = foo.getVertexFormat(); if( (vertexFormat & GeometryArray.BY_REFERENCE) == GeometryArray.BY_REFERENCE) { // yep, the bit is set... } Sincerely, Daniel Selman Author - "Java 3D Programming" http://www.manning.com/selman -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for Java 3D API [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Rush Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 10:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How do I... ..query a GeometryArrayobject to find out if it is BY_REFERENCE or not? I thought getVertexFormat() should work but the vertex format is input as a bitmask i.e. GeometryArray.COORDINATES | GeometryArray.NORMALS | GeometryArray.BY_REFERENCE How can I get just the BY_REFERENCE bit?
