- Method Detail
  - getEdges
```
int[] getEdges()
```
    Getter method for the edges.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of global ids for the edges, along with their endpoints as indices into the vertices array
  - getFaces
```
int[] getFaces()
```
    Getter method for the faces.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of global ids for the faces, along with their constituent edges as indices into the edges array
  - getEdgeProperties
```
java.util.ArrayList<java.util.HashMap<java.lang.Integer,EdgeProperties>> getEdgeProperties()
```
    Getter method for the edge properties.
    
    Returns:
    
    A list of maps between integer ids for edges and their edge properties, one for each face in the faces array
  - getPolygonProperties
```
java.util.ArrayList<PolygonProperties> getPolygonProperties()
```
    Getter method for the polygon properties
    
    Returns:
    
    A list of all the PolygonProperties in the hierarchy in the same order as their corresponding polygons in the faces array
  - getTransformations
```
double[][] getTransformations()
```
    Getter method for the transformation.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of numbers representing the spatial data for a modeling object. Each object's data begins at location (12 * their global ID) and is stored as three values representing the x, y, and z directions for each of the four attributes (rotation, scale, skew, and translation).
  - getVertices
```
int[] getVertices()
```
    Getter method for the vertices.
    
    Returns:
    
    An array of global ids for the vertices
  - setEdges
```
void setEdges(int[] edges)
```
    Setter method for the edges.
    
    Parameters:
    
    edges - An array of global ids for the edges, along with their endpoints as indices into the vertices array
  - setFaces
```
void setFaces(int[] faces)
```
    Setter method for the faces.
    
    Parameters:
    
    faces - An array of global ids for the faces, along with their constituent edges as indices into the edges array
  - setEdgeProperties

```
void setTransformations(double[][] transformations)
```
    Setter method for the transformations.
    
    Parameters:
    
    transformations - An array of numbers representing the spatial data for a modeling object. Each object's data begins at location (12 * their global ID) and is stored as three values representing the x, y, and z directions for each of the four attributes (rotation, scale, skew, and translation).
