Poly_Polygon2D Class Reference

Provides a polygon in 2D space (for example, in the parametric space of a surface). It is generally an approximate representation of a curve. A Polygon2D is defined by a table of nodes. Each node is a 2D point. If the polygon is closed, the point of closure is repeated at the end of the table of nodes. More...

Detailed Description

Provides a polygon in 2D space (for example, in the parametric space of a surface). It is generally an approximate representation of a curve. A Polygon2D is defined by a table of nodes. Each node is a 2D point. If the polygon is closed, the point of closure is repeated at the end of the table of nodes.

Constructs a 2D polygon defined by the table of points, <Nodes>.

Member Function Documentation

Standard_Real Poly_Polygon2D::Deflection ( ) const

Returns the deflection of this polygon. Deflection is used in cases where the polygon is an approximate representation of a curve. Deflection represents the maximum distance permitted between any point on the curve and the corresponding point on the polygon. By default the deflection value is equal to 0. An algorithm using this 2D polygon with a deflection value equal to 0 considers that it is working with a true polygon and not with an approximate representation of a curve. The Deflection function is used to modify the deflection value of this polygon. The deflection value can be used by any algorithm working with 2D polygons. For example:

  • An algorithm may use a unique deflection value for all its polygons. In this case it is not necessary to use the Deflection function.
  • Or an algorithm may want to attach a different deflection to each polygon. In this case, the Deflection function is used to set a value on each polygon, and later to fetch the value.
void Poly_Polygon2D::Deflection ( const Standard_Real  D)

Sets the deflection of this polygon to D.

Standard_Integer Poly_Polygon2D::NbNodes ( ) const

Returns the number of nodes in this polygon. Note: If the polygon is closed, the point of closure is repeated at the end of its table of nodes. Thus, on a closed triangle, the function NbNodes returns 4.

const TColgp_Array1OfPnt2d& Poly_Polygon2D::Nodes ( ) const

Returns the table of nodes for this polygon.
