public class TextFacetDefinitionWriter extends AbstractTextFormatWriter
Class for writing 3D facet geometry in a simple human-readable text format. The format simply consists of sequences of decimal numbers defining the vertices of each facet, with one facet defined per line. Facet vertices are defined by listing their x, y, and z components in that order. At least 3 vertices are required for each facet but more can be specified. The facet normal is defined implicitly from the facet vertices using the right-hand rule (i.e. vertices are arranged counter-clockwise).

Delimiters can be configured for both vertex components and vertices. This allows a wide range of outputs to be configured, from standard CSV format to formats designed for easy human readability.

Examples

The examples below demonstrate output from two square facets using different writer configurations.

Default

The default writer configuration uses distinct vertex and vertex component separators to make it easier to visually distinguish vertices. Comments are supported and facets are allowed to have any geometrically valid number of vertices. This format is designed for human readability and ease of editing.

 # two square facets
 0 0 0; 1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0
 0 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 1 1; 0 0 1

CSV

The example below uses a comma as both the vertex and vertex component separators to produce a standard CSV format. The facet vertex count is set to 3 to ensure that each row has the same number of columns and all numbers are written with at least a single fraction digit to ensure proper interpretation as floating point data. Comments are not supported. This configuration is produced by the csvFormat(Writer) factory method.

      public void setVertexComponentSeparator(String sep)
      Set the string used to separate vertex components (ie, individual x, y, z values).
      Parameters:
      sep - string used to separate vertex components

    • getVertexSeparator

      public String getVertexSeparator()
      Get the string used to separate facet vertices. The default value is "; ".
      Returns:
      string used to separate facet vertices

    • setVertexSeparator

      public void setVertexSeparator(String sep)
      Set the string used to separate facet vertices.
      Parameters:
      sep - string used to separate facet vertices

    • getFacetVertexCount

      public int getFacetVertexCount()
      Get the number of vertices required per facet or -1 if no specific number is required. The default value is -1.
      Returns:
      the number of vertices required per facet or -1 if any geometricallly valid number is allowed (ie, any number greater than or equal to 3)

    • setFacetVertexCount

      public void setFacetVertexCount(int vertexCount)
      Set the number of vertices required per facet. This can be used to enforce a consistent format in the output. Set to -1 to allow any geometrically valid number of vertices (ie, any number greater than or equal to 3).
      Parameters:
      vertexCount - number of vertices required per facet or -1 to allow any number
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the argument would produce invalid geometries (ie, is greater than -1 and less than 3)

    • getCommentToken

      public String getCommentToken()
      Get the string used to begin comment lines in the output. The default value is "# "
      Returns:
      the string used to begin comment lines in the output; may be null

    • setCommentToken

      public void setCommentToken(String commentToken)
      Set the string used to begin comment lines in the output. Set to null to disable the use of comments.
      Parameters:
      commentToken - comment token string
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the argument is empty or begins with whitespace

    • writeComment

      public void writeComment(String comment)
      Write a comment to the output.
      Parameters:
      comment - comment string to write

    • write

      public void write(BoundarySource3D src)
      Write all boundaries in the argument to the output. If the facet vertex count has been set to 3, then each boundary is converted to triangles before being written. Otherwise, the boundaries are written as-is.
      Parameters:
