ClosevertexCount | The number of vertices to allocate. The maximum is 65535 (or UInt16.MaxValue). |
indexCount | The number of triangle list indices to allocate. Each 3 indices represent one triangle, so this value should be multiples of 3. |
texture | An optional texture to be applied on the triangles allocated. Pass null to rely on vertex colors only. |
MeshWriteData An object that gives access to the newely allocated data. If the returned vertex count is 0, the allocation failed (the system ran out of memory).
Allocates and draws the specified number of vertices and indices required to express geometry for drawing the content of a VisualElement.
See Vertex.position for details on geometry generation conventions. When the vertices are indexed, the triangles described must follow clock-wise winding order given that Y+ goes down.
If a valid texture was passed, then the Vertex.uv values should be used to map the texture to the geometry.
