quad-indices

Creates the indices for a quad mesh (two triangles), ideal for sprites, 2D lines, font glyphs, billboards, and other features.

var createIndices = require('quad-indices')
 
//basic usage:
var quad = createIndices()
// --> new Uint16Array([0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3])
 
//N quads, array type:
var quad = createIndices({ count: 2, type: 'array' })
// --> [0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 6, 7]
 
//counter-clockwise
var quad = createIndices({ clockwise: false })
// --> new Uint16Array([0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3])
 
//store in existing array
var array = new Uint16Array(12)
createIndices(array, { start: 6 })
// --> new Uint16Array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3])

Usage

quad = createIndices([array], [opt])

Creates the indices for a quad mesh. Both parameters are optional.

If array is provided and is a Buffer or array-like object, it will be used as output instead of creating a new object.

Possible options:

• count the number of quads to index, default 1
• type (string) the dtype of the returned array, default '"uint16"'
• clockwise (boolean) the orientation of the indices, default true
• start the starting index to place the data into the array, default 0
