Mesh.Polygon Method

Language:

Uses a left-handed coordinate system to create a mesh that contains an n-sided polygon.

Definition

Visual Basic Public Shared Function Polygon( _
    ByVal device As Device, _
    ByVal length As Single, _
    ByVal sides As Integer _
) As Mesh

C# public static Mesh Polygon(
    Device device,
    float length,
    int sides
);

C++ public:
static Mesh^ Polygon(
    Device^ device,
    float length,
    int sides
);

JScript public static function Polygon(
    device : Device,
    length : float,
    sides : int
) : Mesh;

Visual Basic	Public Shared Function Polygon( _ ByVal device As Device, _ ByVal length As Single, _ ByVal sides As Integer _ ) As Mesh
C#	public static Mesh Polygon( Device device, float length, int sides );
C++	public: static Mesh^ Polygon( Device^ device, float length, int sides );
JScript	public static function Polygon( device : Device, length : float, sides : int ) : Mesh;

Parameters

device Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Device
A Device object that represents the device associated with the created polygon mesh.

length System.Single
Length of each side.

sides System.Int32
Number of sides for the polygon; must be greater than or equal to 3.

Return Value

Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Mesh
A Mesh object that represents the polygon mesh.

Remarks

The created polygon is centered at the origin.
