Detailed Description

Interface implemented by all Rotope s.

Member Function Documentation

virtual unsigned& RotopeInterface::dimension ( ) [pure virtual]

Direct access to the dimension member instead of setter for convenience.

This way, implementing classes can simply use

    VertexData<D>::dimension()++;

instead of the more cumbersome

  VertexData<D>::setDimension(VertexData<D>::dimension()+1);

Because Rotope operations (extrusion, tapering etc.) are all about increasing the dimension, I'll let this stand.

Implemented in VertexData< D >.
