Interface Surface

All Superinterfaces:

GenericSurface, Geometry, OrientablePrimitive, OrientableSurface, Primitive, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

SurfaceImpl

public interface Surface
extends OrientableSurface, GenericSurface

Defining the surface geometry of the iso geometry model. a surface is made of 1..n surface patches. for convention it is defined that Surface is a closed geometry. that means each surface patch a surface is made of must touch at least one other surface patch if a surface is made of more then one surface patch
