Hugo Locurcio 24265c498b Improve the procedural geometry class documentations
This references Godot's winding order at the top of every
procedural geometry class, as well as referencing other classes
within a given geometry class.

A warning about ImmediateGeometry3D performance was also added.

Helper tool to access and edit [Mesh] data.
</brief_description>
<description>
MeshDataTool provides access to individual vertices in a [Mesh]. It allows users to read and edit vertex data of meshes. It also creates an array of faces and edges.
To use MeshDataTool, load a mesh with [method create_from_surface]. When you are finished editing the data commit the data to a mesh with [method commit_to_surface].
Below is an example of how MeshDataTool may be used.
[codeblock]
var mdt = MeshDataTool.new()
mdt.create_from_surface(mesh, 0)
for i in range(mdt.get_vertex_count()):
var vertex = mdt.get_vertex(i)
...
mdt.set_vertex(i, vertex)
mesh.surface_remove(0)
mdt.commit_to_surface(mesh)
[/codeblock]
See also [ArrayMesh], [ImmediateGeometry] and [SurfaceTool] for procedural geometry generation.
[b]Note:[/b] Godot uses clockwise [url=https://learnopengl.com/Advanced-OpenGL/Face-culling]winding order[/url] for front faces of triangle primitive modes.

Returns the [Mesh]'s format. Format is an integer made up of [Mesh] format flags combined together. For example, a mesh containing both vertices and normals would return a format of [code]3[/code] because [constant ArrayMesh.ARRAY_FORMAT_VERTEX] is [code]1[/code] and [constant ArrayMesh.ARRAY_FORMAT_NORMAL] is [code]2[/code].
See [enum ArrayMesh.ArrayFormat] for a list of format flags.
