Questions tagged [vertex]
In geometry a vertex is a point defining the corners of polygons or intersections of lines. A triangle for example is defined by 3 vertices with lines between them. In 3D-graphical APIs like OpenGL and Direct3D a vertex is a data structure containing information about the positions, normals, colors, tangents etc of the points defining the triangular faces of 3D-meshes.
