toObjFormat

public static java.lang.String toObjFormat(java.util.Vector<Triangle3DFloat> triangles,
                                           java.lang.String objName)

This method turns a vector of Triangle3DFloat into a string representing a Wavefront obj file.

Parameters:

triangles - A vector of triangles. The vector may be obtained from

objName - The object name to be used inside the obj file.

toObjFormat

public static java.lang.String toObjFormat(java.util.Vector<Triangle3DFloat> triangles,
                                           java.lang.String objName,
                                           float scale)

This method turns a vector of Triangle3DFloat into a string representing a Wavefront obj file.

Parameters:

triangles - A vector of triangles. The vector may be obtained from

objName - The object name to be used inside the obj file.

scale - A scale to multiply each triangle by.

toObjFormatOld

public static java.lang.String toObjFormatOld(java.util.Vector<Triangle3DFloat> triangles,
                                              java.lang.String objName,
                                              float scale)

Deprecated. This method turns a vector of Triangle3DFloat into a string representing a Wavefront obj file. This is an old obsolete version that does not combine vertices and should not be used unless there's some memory condition that makes the new version usable.

Parameters:

triangles - A vector of triangles. The vector may be obtained from

objName - The object name to be used inside the obj file.

scale - A scale to multiply each triangle by.
