Re: [Plib-users] triangles from branches

Hi!

I heard of it, but have not used it myself yet.

One way would be to recursively go down the tree and use getTriangle
and getVertex. This returns the data in a very simple format (all
triangulated, all vertices unique etc), but can be used on any leaf
node, so code usin it is very short.  Have a look at ssgSaveTri.cxx
for example code.
