Shifted
ABSTRACT
The Shifted operation translates or shifts all meshes within the provided mesh-tree by a specified displacement.
IMPORTANT ELEMENT
Shifted is used often enough to be worth memorizing
PARAMETERS
| mesh | Represents the mesh-tree containing meshes to be shifted. All provided meshes will undergo translation by the specified delta. |
| root | The root of the mesh-tree, serving as the container for mesh selection. |
| tag_predicate(tag) | Determines whether a mesh should be included in the shifting operation based on the provided tag. |
| delta | A 3-vector indicating the displacement by which the meshes will be shifted in 3D space. |
RETURN
If the complete mesh set is provided, all meshes will be individually shifted by the specified delta. The return value is the mesh-tree of all the shifted meshes. However, if only a subset is chosen, the returned value will comprise a mesh-tree of the shifted selected meshes, while the unselected meshes will remain unchanged. Crucially, all meshes you didn't select will still be included in the result mesh_tree, but be provided as is (i.e. no shifting).
