OEPolygonizeMethod

The OEPolygonizeMethod namespace is used to specify to the OEMakeMolecularSurface and OEMakeAccessibleSurface functions the method to be used for polygonizing the surface.

The OEMakeMolecularSurface and OEMakeAccessibleSurface functions for how to pass this constant into the functions.

Grasp

This polygonization method uses a marching cubes type of algorithm to generate surface triangles.

Compact

This polygonization method uses a variation on the marching cubes method in which grid vertex warping is used to generate a more “compact” surface. This method results in a surface which has approximately 30% fewer triangles and vertices than those generated using the OEPolygonizeMethod.Grasp method, with no discernible loss of quality.

Default

The default polygonization method is OEPolygonizeMethod.Grasp.
