Synopsis

PDX_MSGT gdx_SurfaceToRectMesh(long option, MDA_PTR gdx_db_ptr, double tol, int model, int num_per_seg, MDA_PTR *gdx_rect_mesh_ptr)

Purpose

Approximate a surface as a rect_mesh

Description

Approximate a surface as a rect_mesh.

Input

option

GDX_NORM

The parameter space values will be normalized. The default option is to keep them unnormalized.

GDX_APPROX_BY_TOL_NUM_PNTS_PER_SEG

Approximate surface with both u and v degree are 1, num_pnts_per_seg method.

gdx_db_ptr

Database pointer of GDX entity

tol

The approximation tolerance

model

The model to create the approximation entity in

num_per_seg

Number per segment if option GDX_APPROX_BY_TOL_NUM_PNTS_PER_SEG is specified.

Output

gdx_rect_mesh_ptr

The GDX_POLYLINE database pointer

Return

      GDX_NOERR
      Low level error return
