Detailed Description

The geometry builder provides methods to dynamically generate geometry like cubes, spheres and cilinders. All generated geometry is transformed by the geometry builder's matrix. Unlike other classes the geometry builder cannot be instantiated by the programmer. The geometry builder class is a so called singleton, which means only one instance exists of which a reference is acquired by called the I() method. 
// Example:

CMesh mesh;

CGeomBuilder::I().matrix.push();
{
        // Create a (4, 6, 2) sized box with center at (0, 0, 0).
        CGeomBuilder::I().matrix.identity();
        CGeomBuilder::I().matrix.scale(2.0, 3.0, 1.0);
        CGeomBuilder::I().cube(mesh);
}
CGeomBuilder::I().matrix.pop();

Member Function Documentation

static CGeomBuilder& CGeomBuilder::I (   )  [static]
 

Get interface method. Call this to acquire an instace of the geometry builder object.

Definition at line 65 of file CGeomBuilder.h.

void CGeomBuilder::cube (  CMesh &  mesh  ) 
 

Generate a cube from (-1, -1, -1) to (1, 1, 1).

void CGeomBuilder::cilinder (  CMesh &  mesh,
int  sides
) 
 

Circles are at z = -1 and z = +1 Cilinder is oriented along the z axis.

Parameters:
sides The number of sides the cilinder has. Higher means better silhouette.

void CGeomBuilder::circle (  CMesh &  mesh,
int  sides
) 
 

Generate a circle with radius 1, in the XY plane.

Parameters:
sides The number of edges.

void CGeomBuilder::cone (  CMesh &  mesh,
int  sides
) 
 

Generate a cone shape. Cone converges in (0, 0, 1).

Parameters:
sides Subdivision factor.

void CGeomBuilder::sphere (  CMesh &  mesh,
int  div1,
int  div2
) 
 

Generate a sphere with radius 1.

Parameters:
div1 Subdivisions along the z axis.
div2 Subdivisions in the XY plane.
