Hi
Which is the best (and fastest) way for setting many coordinates to a TriangleArray?
I' am loading the coordinates from a file.

I suggest something like this:

Code:

float[] coordsBuffer = new float[ BUFFER_SIZE * 3 ];
int numVerts = file.loadNumVertes();
int numSteps = (int)Math.ceil( numVerts / BUFFER_SIZE );
int j = 0;
for ( int i = 0; i < numSteps; i++ )
{
    int nv = Math.min( BUFFER_SIZE, numVerts - j );
    file.loadCoordinates( coordsBuffer, nv );
    geom.setCoordinates( j, coordsBuffer, 0, nv );
    j += BUFFER_SIZE;
}

If you read the file through something like a BufferedInputStream, BUFFER_SIZE can even be 1. But test it.
