public class MxPolygonCellExtract
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class for polygon cells.

Utility class that provides a static implementation of the MiSurfaceCell interface methods for a polygon cell. This class is provided to make it easier to create a class that implements the MiSurfaceCell interface for a polygon cell.

Method Detail

getNormal

public static SbVec3d getNormal(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
                                MiSurfaceCell polygonCell)

Computes the average normal to the given planar or almost-planar polygon cell.

This is done by using Newell's method.

Parameters:

meshGeometry - The geometry of the mesh.

polygonCell - The input cell.

isPointInsideCell

public static boolean isPointInsideCell(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
                                        MiSurfaceCell polygonCell,
                                        double[] point,
                                        double[] weights)

Checks if a point is inside the given polygon cell.

Note: Each node coordinate of the given cell is retrieved in the following way:

  for each i with 0 <= i < polygonCell.getNumNodes()
   nodeIndex = polygonCell.getNodeIndex(i)
   meshGeometry.getX(nodeIndex)
   meshGeometry.getY(nodeIndex)
   meshGeometry.getZ(nodeIndex)
 
 

Parameters:

meshGeometry - The geometry of the mesh.

polygonCell - The input cell.

point - The input point given in the same space coordinate as meshGeometry.

weights - The array into which the weight values are to be stored.This method computes the N values weights[0,N-1], where N=polygonCell.getNumNodes(). It assumes the weights array has been already allocated. Its size must be set to N (at least) before calling this method.

getLongestEdgeLength

public static double getLongestEdgeLength(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
                                          MiSurfaceCell polygonCell)

Gets the longest edge of a polygon cell.

Parameters:

meshGeometry - The geometry of the mesh.

polygonCell - The input cell.

Returns:

the longest edge

getShortestEdgeLength

public static double getShortestEdgeLength(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
                                           MiSurfaceCell polygonCell)

Gets the shortest edge of a polygon cell.

Parameters:

meshGeometry - The geometry of the mesh.

polygonCell - The input cell.

Returns:

the shortest edge

getArea

public static double getArea(MiGeometryI meshGeometry,
                             MiSurfaceCell polygonCell)

Computes the area of all planar or almost-planar irregular polygon (convex and concave).

Parameters:

meshGeometry - The geometry of the mesh.

polygonCell - The input cell.

Returns:

the area
