    public class TextFacetDefinitionWriter
    extends AbstractTextFormatWriter
    Class for writing 3D facet geometry in a simple human-readable text format. The format simply consists of sequences of decimal numbers defining the vertices of each facet, with one facet defined per line. Facet vertices are defined by listing their x, y, and z components in that order. At least 3 vertices are required for each facet but more can be specified. The facet normal is defined implicitly from the facet vertices using the right-hand rule (i.e. vertices are arranged counter-clockwise).

    Delimiters can be configured for both vertex components and vertices. This allows a wide range of outputs to be configured, from standard CSV format to formats designed for easy human readability.

    Examples

    The examples below demonstrate output from two square facets using different writer configurations.

    Default

    The default writer configuration uses distinct vertex and vertex component separators to make it easier to visually distinguish vertices. Comments are supported and facets are allowed to have any geometrically valid number of vertices. This format is designed for human readability and ease of editing.

     # two square facets
     0 0 0; 1 0 0; 1 1 0; 0 1 0
     0 0 0; 0 1 0; 0 1 1; 0 0 1
     

    CSV

    The example below uses a comma as both the vertex and vertex component separators to produce a standard CSV format. The facet vertex count is set to 3 to ensure that each row has the same number of columns and all numbers are written with at least a single fraction digit to ensure proper interpretation as floating point data. Comments are not supported. This configuration is produced by the csvFormat(Writer) factory method.
