I represent a generic indexed face mesh. My subclasses define what kind of primitive objects I can represent.

	transformBy: Modify the mesh by transforming it using a matrix; this allows us to change the insertion point of the mesh
	translateBy:

	optimizations	top
	optimizeMeshLayout Optimize the layout of the indexed mesh for primitive operations. Optimzed layouts include triangle/quad strips and fans and will result in MUCH better performance during rendering. However, optimizations are generally time-consuming so you better don't call this method too often.
