## Detailed Description

### template<class Kernel>
class OpenMesh::PolyMeshT< Kernel >

Base type for a polygonal mesh.

This is the base class for a polygonal mesh. It is parameterized by a mesh kernel that is given as a template argument. This class inherits all methods from its mesh kernel.

Parameters

  Kernel | template argument for the mesh kernel

Note
  You should use the predefined mesh-kernel combinations in Predefined Mesh Types
