Detailed Description

Geometric data container.

This class allows storage of arbitrary data which is formated to be specifically suitable for usage using a 3D display interface such as OpenGL.

Format options include:

Currently, each element can be of a 1, 2, 3, 4 tuple.
Element type can be IEEE single float or double float, signed or unsigned byte (character), 16 or 32 bit signed unsigned integers.
There are specific "type" identifiers to provide a semantic on for the data. These include:
- position : vertex position vector
- normal : vertex normal vector
- texCoord : vertextexture coordinate vector
- color : vertex color vector
- weight : vertex skin weight vector
- tangent : vertex tangent vector
- binormal : vertex binormal vector
- velocity : vertex velocity vector
- primitiveCenter : center a primitive (e.g. a triangle)
- colorMask : colour existance mask. 1:1 correspondance with color
- useData : some user defined data. A semantic that Maya does not understand.

Currently Maya only interprets a fixed format subset for data with recongnized semantics, This does not mean that the user cannot create any arbitrary format for data storage. Support formats with semantics includes:

3 float position interpreted as (x,y,z).
3 float normal interpreted as (x,y,z).
2 float texture coordinate. Coorindate is interpreted as a (U,V) tuple.
4 float color. Color is interpreted as (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) tuple.
3 float tangent interpreted as (x,y,z).
3 float binormal interpreted as (x,y,z).
3 float velocity interpreted as (x,y,z).
3 float primitive center position interpreted as (x,y,z).
1 float color mask interpreted as 1=mapped, and 0 = unmapped.

Memory allocation of the correct size is left up to the user of this class.

Memory can be marked as "owned" by this class or the user of this class. Ownership by this class is the default behaviour specified in the constructor. If the data is marked as being owned by the class, it is assumed that the data is created using a "new" operation, as the destructor of this class will use a "delete" operation to free memory.

Internal Maya data which is passed to the user via this class is always assumed to be non-modifiable. If modified, stability cannot be ensured.

Examples:: cgfxShaderNode.cpp, D3DGeometryItem.cpp, GLSLShaderNode.cpp, GLSLShaderNode.h, hlslShader.cpp, hwColorPerVertexShader.cpp, hwPhongShader.cpp, hwPhongShader.h, and OpenGLViewportRenderer.cpp.
