General Polygon Shape Hints

A general polygon has a shape hint associated with it that specifies the shape of the general polygon. A general polygon's shape hint may be used by a renderer to optimize drawing the polygon.



 
typedef enum TQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHint {

    kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintComplex,

    kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintConcave,

    kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintConvex

} TQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHint;

Constant descriptions

kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintComplex: The general polygon consists of more than one contour, is self-intersecting, or is not known to be either concave or convex.
kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintConcave: The general polygon has exactly one contour, which is concave.
kQ3GeneralPolygonShapeHintConvex: The general polygon has exactly one contour, which is convex.
