NAME

       offconsol - polylist consolidator.

SYNOPSIS

       offconsol [precision]

DESCRIPTION

       offconsol  reads an OFF file from standard input and writes an OFF file in which vertices closer than a given precision have been combined.
       The default precision is zero.  Color and normal information are not taken into account when comparing vertices.

       The vertices of the resultant polyline have been sorted, and so there order bears no resemblance to the order of the point in the  original
       polylist.

NAME

       AnyToPL - convert an arbitrary geom to a polylist (OFF file format)

SYNOPSIS

       #include "geomutil.h"

       Geom *AnyToPL(Geom *, Transform);

DESCRIPTION

       AnyToPL()  takes  any  geom as an arguement.  It then returns a polylist object which is geometrically identical to the original geom.  The
       transform argument is the transform applied to the entire object; it should generally be set to TM_IDENTITY when AnyToPL() is first called.
       Geometric objects are handled in the following ways:

       Polylists:  A transformed copy of the original is returned.

       Bezier:	The object is rediced if necessary, then handled as a mesh object.

       Quad:  The object is directly transformed into a new polylist.

       Mesh:  The object is directly transformed into a new polylist, with extra polygons added to do the wrapping if necessary.

       Vect:  The object is converted into a polylist containing a 2-gon for every segment in the original vector object.  The colors of the faces
       are the same as the colors of the original object, but this generally is irrelevant since the faces are not visible.  Note that edge  visi-
       bility must be enabled for an object which has been converted from a vect to a polylist to be visible in geomview.

       List:  AnyToPL() is called recursively and the resultant polylists are combined using PLCombine(3).  Inst:  AnyToPL() is called recursively
       with a new transformation matrix.  The resultant polylists are combined using PLCombine(3).

       No effort is made to eliminate identical vertices.  However, no extraneous repeated vertexes should be  created.   The  resultant  polylist
       should have the same number of vertexes as the original object.

LINKING

       AnyToPL() is part of the geomutil library; see geomutil(3) for information on how to link your program with this library.
