MeshTopology

Defines how vertex indices are interpreted to form primitives. Determines the basic shape type created from vertices.

In Ceramic's Unity backend, Triangles is primarily used for rendering filled shapes and sprites, while Lines may be used for debugging or wireframe rendering.

Static Members #

Interprets indices in groups of 3 to form triangles. Most common topology for 3D and filled 2D rendering.

Index pattern: [0,1,2, 3,4,5, ...] Forms triangles: (0,1,2), (3,4,5), ...

Used by Ceramic for all filled visuals.

Interprets indices in groups of 4 to form quadrilaterals.

Index pattern: [0,1,2,3, 4,5,6,7, ...] Forms quads: (0,1,2,3), (4,5,6,7), ...

Note: Deprecated in modern Unity, converted to triangles internally.

Interprets indices in pairs to form individual line segments.

Index pattern: [0,1, 2,3, 4,5, ...] Forms lines: (0→1), (2→3), (4→5), ...

Used for wireframes, debugging visualizations, or stroked paths.

Forms a continuous line through all vertices in order.

Index pattern: [0,1,2,3,4, ...] Forms connected line: 0→1→2→3→4→...

Efficient for drawing paths or outlines with fewer indices.

Renders each vertex as an individual point.

Index pattern: [0,1,2,3, ...] Renders points at each vertex position.

Point size controlled by shader. Useful for particle systems or debug visualization of vertex positions.
