## Class VertexFormat

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.shape.VertexFormat

-     public final class VertexFormat
      extends Object

  Defines the format of the vertices in a mesh. A vertex consists of an array of points, normals (optional), and texture coordinates.
  Since:
    JavaFX 8u40

    Fields
    Modifier and Type | Field | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `static VertexFormat` | `POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD` | Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point, normal and texture coordinates.
    `static VertexFormat` | `POINT_TEXCOORD` | Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point and texture coordinates.

  - ### Method Summary

    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `int` | `getNormalIndexOffset()` | Returns the index offset in the face array of the normal component within a vertex.
    `int` | `getPointIndexOffset()` | Returns the index offset in the face array of the point component within a vertex.
    `int` | `getTexCoordIndexOffset()` | Returns the index offset in the face array of the texture coordinates component within a vertex.
    `int` | `getVertexIndexSize()` | Returns the number of component indices that represents a vertex.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### POINT_TEXCOORD

          public static final VertexFormat POINT_TEXCOORD

      Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point and texture coordinates.

    - #### POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD

          public static final VertexFormat POINT_NORMAL_TEXCOORD

      Specifies the format of a vertex that consists of a point, normal and texture coordinates.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getVertexIndexSize

          public int getVertexIndexSize()

      Returns the number of component indices that represents a vertex. For example, a POINT_TEXCOORD vertex consists of 2 indices, one for point component and the other for texture coordinates component. Hence its value will be 2.
      Returns:
        the number of component indices

    - #### getPointIndexOffset

          public int getPointIndexOffset()

      Returns the index offset in the face array of the point component within a vertex.
      Returns:
        the offset to the point component.

    - #### getNormalIndexOffset

          public int getNormalIndexOffset()

      Returns the index offset in the face array of the normal component within a vertex.
      Returns:
        the offset to the normal component.

    - #### getTexCoordIndexOffset

          public int getTexCoordIndexOffset()

      Returns the index offset in the face array of the texture coordinates component within a vertex.
      Returns:
        the offset to the texture coordinates component.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
