class mrpt::opengl::CPolyhedron

This class represents arbitrary polyhedra.

The class includes a set of static methods to create common polyhedrons. The class includes many methods to create standard polyhedra, not intended to be fast but to be simple. For example, the dodecahedron is not created efficiently: first, an icosahedron is created, and a duality operator is applied to it, which yields the dodecahedron. This way, code is much smaller, although much slower. This is not a big problem, since polyhedron creation does not usually take a significant amount of time (they are created once and rendered many times). Polyhedra information and models have been gotten from the Wikipedia, https://wikipedia.org

Methods

virtual void render(const RenderContext& rc) const

Implements the rendering of 3D objects in each class derived from CRenderizable.

This can be called more than once (one per required shader program) if the object registered several shaders.

See also:

renderUpdateBuffers

virtual void renderUpdateBuffers() const

Called whenever m_outdatedBuffers is true: used to re-generate OpenGL vertex buffers, etc.

before they are sent for rendering in render()

virtual void freeOpenGLResources()

Free opengl buffers.

virtual shader_list_t requiredShaders() const

Returns the ID of the OpenGL shader program required to render this class.

CPolyhedron::Ptr getDual() const

Given a polyhedron, creates its dual.

Parameters:

std::logic_error

See also:

truncate, cantellate, augment

CPolyhedron::Ptr truncate(double factor) const

Truncates a polyhedron to a given factor.

Parameters:

std::logic_error

Polyhedron truncation results in skew polygons and thus it’s impossible to perform.

See also:

getDual, cantellate, augment

Cantellates a polyhedron to a given factor.

See also:

getDual, truncate, augment

Augments a polyhedron, so that the resulting triangles are equilateral.

If the argument is true, triangles are “cut” from the polyhedron, instead of being added.

Parameters:

a non-regular face has been found.

See also:

augment(double) const

CPolyhedron::Ptr augment(size_t numVertices, bool direction = false) const

static CPolyhedron::Ptr CreateTruncatedOctahedron(double radius)

static CPolyhedron::Ptr CreateRhombicuboctahedron(double radius, bool type = true)

Creates a rhombicuboctahedron, with 18 squares and 8 triangles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron), calculated as an elongated square bicupola.

It can also be calculated as a cantellated hexahedron or octahedron, and its dual is the deltoidal icositetrahedron. If the second argument is set to false, the lower cupola is rotated, so that the objet created is an elongated square gyrobicupola (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_square_gyrobicupola). This is not an archimedean solid, but a Johnson one, since it hasn’t got vertex transitivity.

CreateJohnsonSolidWithConstantBase, CreateHexahedron, CreateOctahedron, cantellate, CreateCuboctahedron, CreateDeltoidalIcositetrahedron

static CPolyhedron::Ptr CreateIcosidodecahedron(double radius, bool type = true)

Creates an icosidodecahedron, with 12 pentagons and 20 triangles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosidodecahedron).

Certain truncations of either a dodecahedron or an icosahedron yield an icosidodecahedron. The dual of the icosidodecahedron is the rhombic triacontahedron. If the second argument is set to false, the lower rotunda is rotated. In this case, the object created is a pentagonal orthobirotunda (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal_orthobirotunda). This object presents symmetry against the XY plane and is not vertex transitive, so it’s a Johnson’s solid.

The base radius controls the polyhedron height, whilst the distance between bases affects the height. When the number of edges equals 3, the polyhedron is actually a parallelepiped, and it can even be a cube.

static CPolyhedron::Ptr CreateRegularAntiprism(
    uint32_t numBaseEdges,
    double baseRadius,
    double height
    )

Creates an antiprism whose base is a regular polygon.

The upper base is rotated \(\frac\pi N\) with respect to the lower one, where N is the number of vertices in the base, and thus the lateral triangles are isosceles.

    uint32_t numBaseEdges,
    double baseRadius,

    size_t shifts = 0
    )

Creates a series of concatenated solids (most of which are prismatoids) whose base is a regular polygon with a given number of edges.

Every face of the resulting body will be a regular polygon, so it is a Johnson solid; in special cases, it may be archimedean or even platonic. The shape of the body is defined by the string argument, which can include one or more of the following: === ================================= =================================================================================
