* Primitive is the abstract root class of the geometric primitives.

* A geometric primitive is a geometric object that is not
|
39 |
* decomposed further into other primitives in the system.
|
40 |
* This includes curves and surfaces, even though they are
|
41 |
* composed of curve segments and surface patches, respectively.
|
42 |
* This composition is a strong aggregation: curve segments and
|
43 |
* surface patches cannot exist outside the context of a primitive.
