std::vector< glm::vec3 > MayaFlux::Kinesis::generate_rectangle	(	const glm::vec3 &	center,
		float	width,
		float	height,
		const glm::vec3 &	normal = glm::vec3(0, 0, 1)
	)

Generate vertices of an axis-aligned rectangular path.

Parameters

center	Rectangle centroid
width	Extent along local X axis
height	Extent along local Y axis
normal	Rectangle plane normal

Returns

5 vertices (closed rectangular path for LINE_STRIP)
