Generic base interface of all geometry interfaces used by mesh interfaces.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
long	getTimeStamp() Returns for this geometry a unique time stamp across all geometries in the application.

Method Detail

getTimeStamp

long getTimeStamp()

Returns for this geometry a unique time stamp across all geometries in the application.

When the content of the geometry changes, the time stamp must increase. The time stamp allows extractors to identify this geometry and to be aware of any changes to it.

Note: MxTimeStamp can be used to generate a valid time stamp.

Returns:

a time stamp value
