Guides and Geometric Interfacing

A Guide is the Mathmatical model used to describe the Edge between two Faces/Polygons in either a Polyline Net or a Curved Polygons Net.

A Guide must define the way two adjacent Polygons will attach in order to have some degree of continuity and smoothness. For this reasons, in a Curved Polygons Net any data (vertices, normals, uvs, smoothness factors) required by the Guide Model is stored in an Edge Data Structure. Such data is used during Edge Tessellation to generate a correct Polyline based on the Guide Model.
