mesh_backward

ABSTRACT

Computes the backward-most z coordinate of a mesh-tree. Note that this operation differs from using mesh_direction with a backward-facing vector, which would result in the negation of this value.

PARAMETERS
meshConsiders all meshes in the mesh-tree to determine the backward-most z coordinate.
rootSpecifies the container mesh-tree from which meshes are chosen to compute the backward-most point.
tag_predicate(tag)Determines if a mesh, upon having the given tag, should be included in computing the backward-most point.
RETURN

The z coordinate of the backward-most point among the selected meshes.

DECLARATION
func mesh_backward([mesh_tree] {[full] {mesh}, [tag_pred] {root, tag_predicate(tag)}})
