Method Summary

BoundingVolume	getBounds() Get the currently set bounds for this object.
Cullable	getCullableChild() Get the child renderable of this object.
Cullable	getCullableParent() Get the parent cullable of this instance.
boolean	hasMultipleParents() Check to see if this cullable is mulitparented.

Method Detail

getBounds

BoundingVolume getBounds()

Get the currently set bounds for this object. If no explicit bounds have been set, then an implicit set of bounds is returned based on the current scene graph state.

Returns:

The current bounds of this object

getCullableChild

Cullable getCullableChild()

Get the child renderable of this object.

Returns:

an array of nodes

hasMultipleParents

boolean hasMultipleParents()

Check to see if this cullable is mulitparented. If it is, then that will cause problems for code that needs to know information like the transformation to the root of the scene graph.

Returns:

true if there are multiple parents

getCullableParent

Cullable getCullableParent()

Get the parent cullable of this instance. If this node has multiple direct parents, then this should return null.

Returns:

The parent instance or null if none
