Data Types

These are the Data Types recognized by the solid modeler. They are also used to define the calling sequences of the different functions below:


    ConstantType       Scalar real type that cannot be modified.
    NumericType        Scalar real type.
    VectorType         3D real type vector.
    PointType          3D real type point.
    CtlPtType          Control point of a freeform curve or surface.
    MatrixType         4 by 4 matrix (homogeneous transformation matrix).
    PolygonType        Object consists of polygons.
    PolylineType       Object consists of polylines.
    CurveType          Object consists of curves.
    SurfaceType        Object consists of surfaces.
    TrimSrfType        Object consists of trimmed surfaces.
    TrivarType         Object consists of trivariate function.
    GeometricType      One of Polygon/lineType, CurveType, SurfaceType,
                       TrimSrfType, TrivarType.
    GeometricTreeType  A list of GeometricTypes or GeometricTreeTypes.
    StringType         Sequence of chars within double quotes - "A string".
                       Current implementation is limited to 80 chars.
    AnyType            Any of the above.
    ListType           List of (any of the above type) objects. List 
                       size is dynamically increased, as needed.

Although points and vectors are not the same, IRIT does not destinguish between them, most of the time. This might change in the future.
