NXcg_marching_cubes
===================

**Status**:

  base class, extends :ref:`NXobject`

**Description**:

  .. collapse:: Base class to detail the marching cubes (MC) algorithm. ...

      Base class to detail the marching cubes (MC) algorithm.

      Documenting which specific version of MC was used helps with understanding
      how robust the results are with respect to the topology of the triangulation.

**Symbols**:

  No symbol table

**Groups cited**:
