    IG_vect_geom_get_normals
    In This Topic

    The function returns the geometry normals in the range of nStart..nEnd.

    Declaration:

     
    Copy Code
    AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_vect_geom_get_normals(
            HIG_VECT_ENTITY hEntity, 
            VECT_REAL* lpNormals,
            long nStart,
            long nEnd
    );
    

    Arguments:

    Name Type Description
    hEntity HIG_VECT_ENTITY Geometry entity handle.
    lpNormals VECT_REAL* Buffer for the geometry normals.
    nStart long Start index of the normal.
    nEnd long End index of the normal.

    Return Value:

    Returns 0 if successful. Otherwise, returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

    Supported Raster Image Formats:

    This function does not process image pixels.

    Sample:

    None

    Remarks:

    Using this function makes sense only if argument bUseNormals of IG_vect_geom_init() was set to VECT_TRUE.

    The normal buffer must be long enough to receive (nEnd - nStart + 1) * 3 floating point values.
