-
- A variable controlling the algorithm to convert surfaces to polygons.
- This two digit number controls the method that is used to subdivide a
- surface into polygons.
- The first digit (units) can be one of:
-
- 0 Uniform sampling in a fixed grid.
- 1 An alternated U and V subdivision direction. Once U is
- subdivided and then V is subdivided.
- 2 A min max subdivision direction. In other words, the
- direction that minimizes the maximal error is selected.
-
-
- The second digit (tenths) can be one of:
-
- 0 A fixed sized regular grid. The side of the grid is set
- via the RESOLUTION variable.
- 1 This mode is not for general use.
- 2 Maximal distance between the surface and its polygonal
- approximation is bounded by bilinear surface fit.
- Maximal distance allowed is set via POLY_APPROX_TOL.
- Recommended choice for optimal polygonization.
- 3 This mode is not for general use.
