Class CullInstructions

java.lang.Object
  org.j3d.aviatrix3d.rendering.CullInstructions

public class CullInstructions
extends java.lang.Object

Container for returning the details about what should be culled from a node that implements the Cullable interface.

The data stored in this class is considered to be temporary only - it lasts just enough time to process the children for further cullable objects.

Field Summary

Cullable[]	children The array of children nodes that are valid children for travering for further rendering.
boolean	hasTransform Flag to indicate if the transform needs to be used from this class as part of the traversal of the scene graph.
javax.vecmath.Matrix4f	localTransform The local transformation matrix that should be applied as part of the traversal process.
int	numChildren The number of children to process from the list.

Constructor Summary

CullInstructions()

Field Detail

children

public Cullable[] children

The array of children nodes that are valid children for travering for further rendering. If the array is not large enough, the user is allowed to directly resize the array to something large enough, or make use of the utility method of this class.

numChildren

public int numChildren

The number of children to process from the list.

hasTransform

public boolean hasTransform

Flag to indicate if the transform needs to be used from this class as part of the traversal of the scene graph.

localTransform

public javax.vecmath.Matrix4f localTransform

The local transformation matrix that should be applied as part of the traversal process. If no transformation is needed. then set hasTransform to false and ignore this matrix.

Constructor Detail

CullInstructions

public CullInstructions()

Initialise a new instance of this instruction.

Method Detail

resizeChildren

public void resizeChildren(int size)

Convenience method to resize the children array to be at least the required minimum size. This method will always resize, so only call it if it must be resized. The old values in the old array are discarded.

Parameters:

size - The minimum length that this array should be
