Parts

object

Object expression that resolves to a D3DX8 object.

MeshIn

D3DXMesh object representing the mesh to tessellate.

adjacencyIn

First element of an array of three Long values per face that specify the three neighbors for each face in the source mesh. This parameter may be set to ByVal 0.

NumSegs

Number of segments per edge to tessellate.

QuadraticInterpNormals

If set to True, use quadratic interpolation for normals. If set to False, use linear interpolation.

adjacencyOut

First element of an array of three Long values per face that specify the three neighbors for each face in the output mesh. This parameter may be set to ByVal 0.

Return Values

D3DXMesh object representing the returned tessellated mesh.

Error Codes

If the method fails, an error is raised and Err.Number can be set to one of the following values.

For information on trapping errors, see the Microsoft® Visual Basic® Error Handling topic.

Note  This function tessellates by using the n-Patch algorithm.
