Mesh.Mode (jMonkeyEngine3)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Mesh.Mode>
- - com.jme3.scene.Mesh.Mode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Mesh.Mode>

Enclosing class:

Mesh
```
public static enum Mesh.Mode
extends java.lang.Enum<Mesh.Mode>
```
The mode of the Mesh specifies both the type of primitive represented by the mesh and how the data should be interpreted.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`Hybrid` A combination of various triangle modes.
`LineLoop` Identical to `LineStrip` except that at the end the last vertex is connected with the first to form a line.
`Lines` A primitive is a line segment.
`LineStrip` A primitive is a line segment.
`Patch` Used for Tessellation only.
`Points` A primitive is a single point in space.
`TriangleFan` Similar to `Triangles`, the first 3 vertices specify a triangle, each 2 subsequent vertices are combined with the very first vertex to make a triangle.
`Triangles` A primitive is a triangle.
`TriangleStrip` Similar to `Triangles`, the first 3 vertices specify a triangle, while subsequent vertices are combined with the previous two to form a triangle.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`boolean`	`isListMode()` Returns true if the specified mode is a list mode (meaning ,it specifies the indices as a linear list and not some special format).
`static Mesh.Mode`	`valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static Mesh.Mode[]`	`values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - Points
```
public static final Mesh.Mode Points
```
    A primitive is a single point in space. The size of points are determined via the vertex shader's gl_PointSize output.
  - Lines
```
public static final Mesh.Mode Lines
```
    A primitive is a line segment. Every two vertices specify a single line. Material.getAdditionalRenderState() and RenderState.setLineWidth(float) can be used to set the width of the lines.
  - LineStrip
```
public static final Mesh.Mode LineStrip
```
    A primitive is a line segment. The first two vertices specify a single line, while subsequent vertices are combined with the previous vertex to make a line. Material.getAdditionalRenderState() and RenderState.setLineWidth(float) can be used to set the width of the lines.
  - LineLoop
```
public static final Mesh.Mode LineLoop
```
    Identical to LineStrip except that at the end the last vertex is connected with the first to form a line. Material.getAdditionalRenderState() and RenderState.setLineWidth(float) can be used to set the width of the lines.
  - Triangles
```
public static final Mesh.Mode Triangles
```
    A primitive is a triangle. Each 3 vertices specify a single triangle.
  - TriangleStrip
```
public static final Mesh.Mode TriangleStrip
```
    Similar to Triangles, the first 3 vertices specify a triangle, while subsequent vertices are combined with the previous two to form a triangle.
  - TriangleFan
```
public static final Mesh.Mode TriangleFan
```
    Similar to Triangles, the first 3 vertices specify a triangle, each 2 subsequent vertices are combined with the very first vertex to make a triangle.
  - Hybrid
```
public static final Mesh.Mode Hybrid
```
    A combination of various triangle modes. It is best to avoid using this mode as it may not be supported by all renderers. The mode start points and element lengths must be specified for this mode.
  - Patch
```
public static final Mesh.Mode Patch
```
    Used for Tessellation only. Requires to set the number of vertices for each patch (default is 3 for triangle tessellation)
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static Mesh.Mode[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Mesh.Mode c : Mesh.Mode.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Mesh.Mode valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - isListMode
```
public boolean isListMode()
```
    Returns true if the specified mode is a list mode (meaning ,it specifies the indices as a linear list and not some special format). Will return true for the types Points, Lines and Triangles.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the mode is a list type mode
