Class Name: Polygon

Superclass - <Surface Geometry>

Subclasses

Definition

An instance of this DRM class specifies a bounded portion of a plane, defined by a set of three or more <Base Vertex> objects listed in counter-clockwise order. The final segment connecting the last <Vertex> to the first <Vertex> is implicit, not explicit; that is, the first <Vertex> is not duplicated to also appear as the last <Vertex> of the < Polygon>.

Composed of Notes

Union_Of_Primitive_Geometry

 A <Primitive Geometry> contains a <Union Of Primitive Geometry>
 instance as a component only when that <Primitive Geometry>
 can be decomposed into nested <Primitive Geometry>, as (for
 example) a <Polygon> can be decomposed into subfaces.

Fields Notes

polygon_flags

 This specifies the set of SE_Polygon_Flag tokens applicable to
 the given <Polygon> instance.
