\c vcg::Vertex is the VCG base class for a vertex.

It can be annoying when you see it but it is useful that every entity involved knows the type of the others and this is the way VCG Lib does it. As you can see the three definitions of MyVertex0,1,2 differ for the remaining template parameters (the components). These specify which values will be stored with the vertex type:
- MyVertex0 is a type storing coordinates as a triple of doubles and normal as a triple of floats,
- MyVertex1 also store a color value specified as 4 bytes
- MyVertex2 store a long list of different components.
Many other compenents are implemented in the library for the simplexes, the complete list can be found
Many other components are implemented in the library for the simplexes, the complete list can be found
in the \ref VertexComponentGroup, \ref EdgeComponentGroup and \ref FaceComponentGroup pages. You can place any combination of them as

Now we have all it takes for a working definition of MyMesh type:

How to create a mesh
--------------------
Once you declared your mesh type, you may want to instance an object and to fill it with vertices and triangles. The typical approach is just to open some file like in the above example. It may cross your mind that you could just make some push_back on the vertexes and faces container (data member vert and face of class vcg::tri::Trimesh). In fact this is the wrong way since there can be side effects by adding element to a container. We describe this issue and the correct way of adding mesh element in the \ref allocation page.

The flags of the mesh elements
-----------
Usually to each element of the mesh we associate a small bit vector containing useful single-bit information about vertices and faces. For example the deletion of vertex simply mark a the Deletion bit in thsi vector (more details on the various deletion/allocation issues in the \ref allocation page. More details on the various kind of flags that can be associated are in the \ref flags page.

Other than algorithms that update values of the mesh attributes, VCG Lib provides algorithms to create a mesh from another source, for example from point sets (by means of the Ball Pivoting approach) or as isosurfaces from a volumetric dataset (by means of Marching Cubes algorithm). Those algorithm can be found in vcg/complex/trimesh/create/.

Finally, you can find algorithms for refinement (midpoint, Loop, Butterfly...), for smoothing, for closing holes and other that are not currently classified under any specific heading and that you can find under /vcg/complex/trimesh.*/
