VuoMesh_ElementAssemblyMethod elementAssemblyMethod The way in which the elements array should be interpreted during rasterization.
unsigned int elementCount Number of elements in elements.
unsigned int * elements An array of size elementCount of integer elements (triangle indices) which are indexes into positions.

(Requires conversion to i16 for OpenGL ES unless GL_OES_element_index_uint.)

struct _VuoMesh
Class Members
unsigned int submeshCount Number of items in submeshes.
VuoSubmesh * submeshes The submeshes that together define the shape of the mesh. All VuoSubmeshes are assumed to have the same primitive type (points, lines, triangles), but the assembly can vary (e.g., a single mesh can contain submeshes with VuoMesh_IndividualLines and VuoMesh_LineStrip).
