This module converts a 2D quad or tri input mesh to a polytri strip for faster rendering.
| Name | Type | Description | |

| out | PolyTri Mesh | Geometry data of the converted mesh. | |
| out_obj | DataObject | Directly Renderable Output Object. | |
This project contains a definition of a module which converts an input mesh to a polytri strip for faster rendering. It requires 2D quad or tri data.
out
Mesh data output that contains the nodal coordinates and a single poly triangle cell-set that describes the connectivity of the data.
out_obj
The directly renderable output of the Convert2TriStrip macro. This output contains the geometry data read from the field file in a form that can be rendered by the standard data viewers.
The Convert2TriStripFunc functional macro uses the Convert2TriStripCore low-level module. The Convert2TriStrip user macro uses this functional macro.
An example application Convert2TriStripEg is provided with the Convert2TriStrip project. This application reads a field file, converts the mesh to tri strip, and then shows the originally read data and converted data in two Viewer windows.
iac_proj/cvt2tri/c2t_mods.v contains the V definitions of the Convert2TriStripCore module.
iac_proj/cvt2tri/c2t_macs.v contains the V definitions of the Convert2TriStripFunc functional macro and the Convert2TriStrip user macro.
iac_proj/cvt2tri/c2t_apps.v contains the V definitions of the Convert2TriStripEg example application.
