Function:ns2vf3a
From S2PLOT
ns2vf3a
3-vertex facet with transparency
Prototype
void ns2vf3(XYZ *P, COLOUR col, char trans, float alpha);
Description
Draw a transparent 3-vertex facet with a single colour. The vertices are given by the array P, normals are calculated automatically, and the RGB colour is col. Transparency is controlled by the alpha channel, with value in the range [0,1] and trans:
- trans = 'o' opaque vertex;
- trans = 't' addition blending - never gets dimmer; and
- trans = 's' standard blending - can get dimmer.
