Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (October 2004)

PatchMesh.Optimize Method

Language:

Note: This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.

Optimizes the patch mesh for efficient tessellation.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Sub Optimize()
C# public void Optimize();
Managed C++ public: void Optimize();
JScript .NET public function Optimize();

Remarks

The Optimize method performs one-time optimization for patch meshes that need to be tessellated repeatedly (by calling the Tessellate method). The optimization is independent of the actual tessellation level used. If vertices are changed, this method must be called again.

Exceptions
InvalidCallException The method call is invalid. For example, a method's parameter might contain an invalid value.
CannotAttributeSortException Attribute sort is not supported as an optimization technique.
OutOfMemoryException Leave Site Microsoft® Direct3D® could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.
