Class VertexFormat

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.shape.VertexFormat

public final class VertexFormat extends Object

Defines the format of the vertices in a mesh. A vertex consists of an array of points, normals (optional), and texture coordinates.

Since:: JavaFX 8u40

Field Summary

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
`static final VertexFormat`	`POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD`	Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point, normal and texture coordinates.
`static final VertexFormat`	`POINT_TEXCOORD`	Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point and texture coordinates.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`int`	`getNormalIndexOffset()`	Returns the index offset in the face array of the normal component within a vertex.
`int`	`getPointIndexOffset()`	Returns the index offset in the face array of the point component within a vertex.

Field Details

POINT_TEXCOORD

public static final VertexFormat POINT_TEXCOORD

Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point and texture coordinates.

POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD

public static final VertexFormat POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD

Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point, normal and texture coordinates.

Method Details

getVertexIndexSize

public int getVertexIndexSize()

Returns the number of component indices that represents a vertex. For example, a POINT_TEXCOORD vertex consists of 2 indices, one for point component and the other for texture coordinates component. Hence its value will be 2.

Returns:: the number of component indices

getPointIndexOffset

public int getPointIndexOffset()

Returns the index offset in the face array of the point component within a vertex.

Returns:: the offset to the point component.

getNormalIndexOffset

public int getNormalIndexOffset()

Returns the index offset in the face array of the normal component within a vertex.

Returns:: the offset to the normal component.

getTexCoordIndexOffset

public int getTexCoordIndexOffset()

Returns the index offset in the face array of the texture coordinates component within a vertex.

Returns:: the offset to the texture coordinates component.
