    Writes this mesh to a PrintWriter, using an Alias Wavefront "obj" file as described for write(PrintWriter,NumberFormat,boolean). Index numbering starts at one, and the format used to print vertex coordinates is specified by a C printf style format string contained in the parameter fmtStr.

           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Writes this mesh to a PrintWriter, using an Alias Wavefront "obj" file format. Vertices are printed first, each starting with the letter "v" and followed by x, y, and z coordinates. Normals, if present, are printed next, starting with the letter "vn" and followed by x, y, and z coordinates.
    The format used to print vertex coordinates is specified by a NumberFormat.

  - addMesh
```
public void addMesh(PointMesh mesh,
                    boolean respectTransforms)
```
    Adds copies of the vertices of another mesh to this mesh. If the other mesh contains normal information, this will be added as well providing this mesh already contains normal information or is empty. Otherwise, normal information for this mesh will be cleared.
    
    Parameters:
    
    mesh - Mesh to be added to this mesh
  - getBVTree
```
public AABBTree getBVTree()
```
  - epsilonEquals

public boolean epsilonEquals(MeshBase base,
                             double eps)
```
    Tests to see if a mesh equals this one. The meshes are equal if they are both PolylineMeshes, and their transforms, vertices, and normals are equal (within eps).
    
    Overrides:
    
    epsilonEquals in class MeshBase
  - createVertexIndices
```
public int[] createVertexIndices()
```
    Description copied from class: MeshBase
    Creates and returns the vertex indices associated with each geometric feature in this mesh.
    The indices are zero-based and specify the vertex indices for each mesh feature. The number of indices and their structure hence depends on the mesh subclass: for PolygonalMesh meshes, this gives the vertices for each face; for PolylineMesh, the vertices for each polyline, and for PointMesh, the vertices for each point. For example, assume that we have a PolygonalMesh with four vertices and four triangles arranged to form a tetrahedron, so that the vertex indices for each triangular face are given by (0, 2, 1), (0, 3, 2), (0, 1, 3), and (1, 2, 3). Then the returned vertex indices will be
```
   0 2 1  0 3 2  0 1 3  1 2 3
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    createVertexIndices in class MeshBase
    
    Returns:
    
    vertex indices for this mesh. Should not be modified.
  - numFeatures
```
public int numFeatures()
```
    Description copied from class: MeshBase
    
    Returns the number of features in this mesh. What a feature is depends on the mesh type: faces for PolygonalMesh, lines for PolylineMesh, points (which map to vertices) for PointMesh.
    
    Specified by:
    
    numFeatures in class MeshBase
    
    Returns:
    
    number of features in this mesh
  - hasAutoNormalCreation
```
public boolean hasAutoNormalCreation()
```
    Description copied from class: MeshBase
    
    Returns true if this mesh automatically creates a default set of normals if MeshBase.getNormals() is called and no normals have been explicitly set using MeshBase.setNormals(java.util.List<maspack.matrix.Vector3d>, int[]).
    
    Specified by:
    
    hasAutoNormalCreation in class MeshBase
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this mesh automatically creates normals.
  - getWriteNormals
```
public boolean getWriteNormals()
```
    Returns true if this mesh's normals should be written to a file. This will be the case if the normals were explicitly set, or if they were automatically created using information (such as hard edges) that cannot be easily reconstructed from the information written to standard file formats.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getWriteNormals in class MeshBase
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the normals should be written to a file
  - addVertex
```
public void addVertex(Vertex3d vtx)
```
    Description copied from class: MeshBase
    
    Adds a vertex to the set of vertices associated with this mesh. The pnt field of the vertex should be non-null. The index of the vertex will be set to reflect it's position in the list of vertices.
    
    Overrides:
    
    addVertex in class MeshBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    vtx - vertex to add
