ID3DXPatchMesh::GenerateAdjacency method

Generate a list of mesh edges and the patches that share each edge.

Syntax

HRESULT GenerateAdjacency(
  [in] FLOAT fTolerance
);

Parameters

fTolerance [in]

Type: FLOAT

Specifies that vertices that differ in position by less than the tolerance should be treated as coincident.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

If the method succeeds, the return value is D3D_OK. If the method fails, the return value can be one of the following: D3DERR_INVALIDCALL, E_OUTOFMEMORY.

Remarks

After an application generates adjacency information for a mesh, the mesh data can be optimized for better drawing performance. This method determines which patches are adjacent (within the provided tolerance). This information is used internally to optimize tessellation.
