TriangleVertData

java.lang.Object
- geomss.geom.TriangleVertData

```
public class TriangleVertData
extends java.lang.Object
```
An simple container that packages together information about a list of triangles. In particular, it stores a list of non-repeating (unique) vertices and indexes into that list for each triangle, the area of each triangle, and the normal vector for each triangle.

- Field Detail
  - vertices
```
public PointString<? extends GeomPoint> vertices
```
    The list of unique vertices in this triangle data.
  - numTris
```
public int numTris
```
    The number of triangles in the list.
  - tris
```
public int[] tris
```
    The array of indexes into the "vertices" list for the vertices of each triangle. Each set of indices is represented by 3 consecutive integer indexes in a counter-clockwise winding.
  - areas
```
public java.util.List<Parameter<javax.measure.quantity.Area>> areas
```
    The surface area of one side of each triangle. The area is always positive, but can be zero.
  - normals
```
public java.util.List<GeomVector<javax.measure.quantity.Dimensionless>> normals
```
    The surface normal vector for each triangle. If a triangle is degenerate (zero area), then the normal vector will have zero length.
- Method Detail
  - newInstance
```
public static TriangleVertData newInstance()
```
    Construct a new TriangleVertData structure.
    
    Returns:
    
    A new TriangleVertData structure.
