IVertexEx_KC(64) Interface
- GetStarElementCount
 
- GetStarEdge
 
- GetStarSimplex
 
- IsInteriorVertex
 
- GetLinkingEdge
 
- FindStarElement
 
 
IVertexEx_KC gives access to adjacency information related to vertices 
IVertexEx_KC can be queried from IVertex
    interface. The mesh must be in upgraded 
    state  for this interface to be available. Query IVertex 
    from IVertexEx_KC to access base level information about the vertex. 
Star of a vertex is the set of simplexes joined at the vertex 
See also Morph sample 
 
HRESULT GetStarElementCount(int elementType, int* count) 
Parameters 
elementType - [in] element type to query. 1 - edges, 2 - simplexes 
 count  -  [out,retval] Count of the specified elements joined at the vertex 
- 
  
 - Remarks: 
 -  
 
 
Returns count of the specified elements joined at the vertex. When elementType 
    is 1 the method return number of edges and number of simplexes otherwise. 
When the vertex is interior (does not belong to mesh edge) the returned numbed 
    does not depend on elementType and is the number of 
    simplexes joined at the vertex. When the vertex lies on the mesh edge count of 
    segments equals to number of simplexes plus one. 
 
HRESULT GetStarVertex(int i, IVertexEx_KC** vertex ) 
Parameters 
i  - [in] 0-based index of the vertex to retrieve.  
    i must be less than the number returned by GetStarElementCount(1, ...) 
vertex- [out,retval] - the opposite to this vertex end 
    of the i-th edge of star of this vertex 
Remarks:   
Returns i-th neighbour (star) vertex of this vertex. When this is not an interior 
    vertex star vertices are numbered starting from the "out" edge which lies on the 
    edge of the mesh. For an interior vertex numbering of vertices must be 
    considered random. 
 
HRESULT GetStarEdge(int i, IEdge_KC** edge ) 
Parameters 
i  - [in] 0-based index of the edge to retrieve. i must 
    be less than the number returned by GetStarElementCount(1, ...) 
edge- [out,retval] - the i-th edge of star of this 
    vertex 
Remarks:   
Returns i-th edge joined at this vertex. When this is not an interior vertex the 
    edges are numbered starting from the "out" edge which lies on the edge of the 
    mesh. For an interior vertex numbering of vertices must be considered random. 
 
HRESULT GetStarSimplex(int i, ISimplexEx_KC** simplex ) 
Parameters 
i  - [in] 0-based index of the simplex to retrieve. i 
    must be less than the number returned by GetStarElementCount(2, ...) 
simplex - [out,retval] - the i-th simplex of star of this 
    vertex 
Remarks:   
Returns i-th simplex joined at this vertex. When this is not an interior vertex 
    the edges are numbered starting from the "out" edge which lies on the edge of 
    the mesh. For an interior vertex numbering of vertices must be considered 
    random. 
 
HRESULT IsInteriorVertex(VARIANT_BOOL* interior) 
- 
    
 - Remarks: 
 -  
 
 
The method returns true when the vertex does not belong to the mesh edge. So the 
    number of simplexes joined at the vertex coinsides with the number of edges 
 
HRESULT GetLinkingEdge(IVertex* vertex, IEdge_KC** edge ) 
Parameters 
vertex- [in] A vertex to test for 
    linkage 
edge- [out,retval] The returned linking 
    edge or NULL if it does not exist. See remarks 
- 
    
 - Remarks: 
 -  
 
 
The method returns the edge which joins this and vertex 
    if it exists or NULL if there is no simplex which has the two verticies as its 
    corners. The method can be used to test wether the verticies are neighbours. 
 
HRESULT FindStarElement(IObject_KC* vertexSimplexOrEdge, int* index ) 
Parameters 
vertexSimplexOrEdge- [in] The element to 
    find.  
index- [out,retval] Index of the element 
    in start of this vertex or -1 if not found 
- 
    
 - Remarks: 
 -  
 
 
The method searches the star of this vertex for the element which implements 
    vertexSimplexOrEdge and returns its index as described in 
    GetStar*() methods above. The vertexSimplexOrEdge is 
    assumed to be queried from one of: ISimplex, ISimplexEx_KC, IVertex, IVertexEx_KC, IEdge_KC
