Hi all -
I am working on a project that specifies a three dimensional surface -
this surface is made up of a set of points.
I would like to create a class to represent these points and propose
that it be structured as follows:
1) It would be derived from the Mesh class because a surface is
essentially a Mesh.
2) It would allow for the addition of points and extraction of points -
this functionality would stem from the superclass of Mesh, PointSet.
3) What would make Surface unique is that there would exist
functionality within it to specify the connectivity of the points of the
Surface. A default connectivity function would exist within Surface and
if you wanted to specify a different connectivity, you could derive the
Surface class and specify your own connectivity algorithm.
Is anyone doing something similar to this? If not, I propose to do this
and would appreciate feedback.
Thanks,
Andrew
