Description
A primitive that is composed of multiple other primitives. Since composites can contain other composites, they are commonly used to build hierarchies of primitives to efficiently evaluate display conditions. Primitives in a composite must have the same reference frame.
Public Methods
 Add | Adds a primitive to the composite. |
| Clear | Removes all primitives from the composite. |
| Contains | Determines whether the composite contains a primitive. |
| Remove | Removes a primitive from the composite. |
Public Properties
 Count | Gets the number of primitives in the composite. |
| TranslucentPrimitivesSortOrder | Gets or sets the sort order for translucent primitives in this composite. This determines a trade-off between rendering speed and quality. It is only recommended to use primitives sort order back to front when translucent primitives along the same line of sight cause blending artifacts. |
