Inputs/Outputs

  • c1dnclst.png Color Array —

    Color Array specifies the RGBA color values for the colors that Color Binding Mode applies to the 3D object. Color Binding Mode references only the first index in the array if you set the mode to Overall whereas it references the respective number of indices if you set the mode to Per Primitive or Per Vertex.

  • csgl.png Red —

    Red specifies the red value. The default is 1.

  • csgl.png Green —

    Green specifies the green value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Blue —

    Blue specifies the blue value. The default is 0.

  • csgl.png Alpha —

    Alpha specifies the level of opacity of the RGB color when the color is applied to the 3D object. Alpha must be a value between 0 and 1. The default is 1.

  • cenum.png Color Binding Mode —

    Color Binding Mode specifies the mode to use to bind color to the mesh. The mode determines how LabVIEW assigns the color you specify in Color Array.

    Note The Per Primitive and Overall modes differ in behavior only when Draw Mode is Points, Lines, Triangles, or Quads.
    0Overall (default)—One color binds uniformly to the entire mesh.
    1Per Primitive—Different colors bind to each primitive in the mesh.
    2Per Vertex—Different colors bind to each vertex of the mesh.
    3Binding Off—No colors bind to the mesh.
  • cenum.png Draw Mode —

    Draw Mode specifies the mode LabVIEW uses to draw the mesh. The mode determines how LabVIEW interprets the data you wire to Vertex Array.

    0Points (default)
    1Lines
    2Line Strip
    3Line Loop
    4Triangles
    5Triangle Strip
    6Triangle Fan
    7Quads
    8Quad Strip
    9Polygon
  • c1dnclst.png Vertex Array —

    Vertex Array sets the x, y, and z coordinate values in 3D space that LabVIEW uses to draw the mesh. The settings you specify in Color Array, Draw Mode, and Indices determine how LabVIEW interprets the vertices.

  • csgl.png X —

  • csgl.png Y —

  • csgl.png Z —

  • c1du32.png Indices —

    Indices determines the order in which LabVIEW processes the data in the Color Array and Vertex Array of the mesh. For example, if Indices is [3, 2, 4, 1], then V0 appears at index 3 in the Vertex Array, the color of V0 appears at index 3 in the Color Array, and so on.

    Note If you set Color Binding Mode to Per Primitive, the color refers to the entire face formed by V0, V1…VN (where Draw Mode determines N) rather than only the index you specify.
  • c1dnclst.png Normal Array —

    Normal Array sets the x, y, and z values that define the array of normals that Normal Binding Mode applies to the 3D object.

  • csgl.png X —

  • csgl.png Y —

  • csgl.png Z —

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • cenum.png Normal Binding Mode —

    Normal Binding Mode sets the binding mode for the normal vectors of the mesh. The mode determines how LabVIEW assigns the normals you specify in Normal Array to the 3D object. Normals determine how lights in a 3D scene affect the rendering of a 3D object.

    0Overall
    1Per Primitive
    2Per Vertex
    3Binding Off
  • c1dnclst.png Texture Coordinate Array —

    Texture Coordinate Array sets the s and t coordinates that define how to apply a texture to the mesh. You must assign a texture to the mesh with the Apply Texture VI for this array to have meaning. Each element of the array is a coordinate in a 2-D plane of domain {0..1, 0..1}, where [0,0] is the bottom-left pixel of the image, and [1, 1] is the top-right pixel.

  • csgl.png S —

  • csgl.png T —

  • ismeshref.png New Mesh Refnum —

    New Mesh Refnum returns the reference to the mesh.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
