Hi
I am looking at the documentation for the IswColorContourinterface. Does anyone know whether you can apply color values atarbitrary points on a surface or does it have to be a vertex on thesurface that is 'pickable' within SW. I have been told that IS thecase but I am still not quite convinced.
The documentation says that the ISwColorContour.Value method 'Setsthe color and value at the specified position on the model.'
The way it is worded it sounds like you could pick an arbitrarypoint on a surface and apply a color at that point. However thefunction requires an argument called vertex coords:
Overridable Function Value( _
ByVal face As Object, _
ByRef vertexCoords As Single, _
ByRef normalCoords As Single, _
ByRef Value As Double _
) As Integer
Which sounds like it needs to be a vertex of the surface.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone with experience with thisinterface.
