GeometryHelper.GetVolume Method

GeometryHelperGetVolume Method

Gets the enclosed volume of a triangle mesh.

Namespace: DigitalRune.Geometry
Assembly: DigitalRune.Geometry (in DigitalRune.Geometry.dll) Version: 1.18.0.0 (1.18.2.14427)

Syntax

public static float GetVolume(
	this ITriangleMesh triangleMesh
)

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function GetVolume ( 
	triangleMesh As ITriangleMesh
) As Single

public:
[ExtensionAttribute]
static float GetVolume(
	ITriangleMesh^ triangleMesh
)

[<ExtensionAttribute>]
static member GetVolume : 
        triangleMesh : ITriangleMesh -> float32

triangleMesh: Type: DigitalRune.Geometry.MeshesITriangleMesh
The triangle mesh.

Type: Single
The enclosed volume of the given triangle mesh.

In Visual Basic and C#, you can call this method as an instance method on any object of type ITriangleMesh. When you use instance method syntax to call this method, omit the first parameter. For more information, see Extension Methods (Visual Basic) or Extension Methods (C# Programming Guide).

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	triangleMesh is .

Remarks

This method assumes that the given triangle mesh is a closed mesh without holes.

Remember: To compute the volume of a scaled mesh, you can compute the volume of the unscaled mesh and multiply the result with the scaling factors:

volume_scaled = volume_unscaled * scale_X * scale_Y * scale_Z
