AttributeWeights.Tangent Property (Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D)

Retrieves or sets a numerical value that indicates the degree to which tangent data is used in simplification operations.

Definition

Visual Basic Public Property Tangent As Single
C# public float Tangent { get; set; }
C++ public:
property float Tangent {
        float get();
        void set(float value);
}
JScript public function get Tangent() : float
public function set Tangent(float);

Property Value

System.Single
A SingleLeave Site value that indicates the degree to which tangent data is used in simplification operations.

This property is read/write. 

Remarks

If the Tangent field is 0.0, the simplification operation ignores the tangent component when it calculates the error for collapsing the edges of a mesh. However, if the Tangent field is 1.0, the simplification operation uses the tangent component. If the Tangent field is 2.0, double the amount of errors; if it is 4.0, quadruple the number of errors, and so on.
