xsimrParticleShape Struct Reference

Detailed Description

Particle shape structure.

The data pointed to by each data tag is a flat list of particle attributes for each particle in the cloud. The size of each attribute entry is dependent upon the parameter type in xsimrAttributeData::type.

xsimrParticleShapeType, xsimrAttributeData, xsimrPointCloudData

Example:
Example for how to use the particle data structure:
        xsimrPointCloudData *findParticleData( miState *state )
