DXNewMeshArray, DXNewMeshArrayV

Function

Create an Array that is the product of a set of regular or irregular connection Arrays.

Syntax

#include <dx/dx.h>

MeshArray DXNewMeshArray(int n, ...)
MeshArray DXNewMeshArrayV(int n, Array *terms)

Functional Details

The terms of the product are given by the Array pointer terms (for DXNewMeshArrayV) or by the last n arguments (for DXNewMeshArray).

Mesh Arrays are generally used to specify regular or partially regular "connections" components in compact form as combinations of lower-degree Arrays. For example, a fully regular cubic "connections" component can be created by combining three Path Arrays in a Mesh Array. A fully regular "connections" component is more easily created with DXMakeGridConnections.

The Array created can be deleted with DXDelete. See 4.2 , "Memory Management".

Return Value

Return the Mesh Array or returns NULL and sets an error code.
