//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MFnMeshData)
//
//	MFnMeshData allows the creation and manipulation of Mesh data objects
//	for use in the dependency graph.
//
// If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces Meshes, then
// this class is used to create data blocks into which Meshes can be constructed
// before being passed to other dependency graph nodes. The MDataHandle::type
// method will return kMesh when data of this type is present.
//
// If a node is receiving a Mesh via an input attribute, the asMesh method of
// MDataHandle can be used to access that input Mesh.
//
// If a node is to create a Mesh and send it via an output attribute, a new
// MFnMeshData must be instantiated and then the create method called to
// build the actual data block as an MObject.  This MObject should be passed
// to the MFnMesh::create method as the parentOrOwner parameter so that the
// Mesh will be constructed inside the data block.  The MDataHandle::set
// routine is then used to pass the data block down the connection.
