Class PickInfo

java.lang.Object
  javax.media.j3d.PickInfo

public class PickInfo
extends java.lang.Object

The PickInfo object contains the computed information about a pick hit. The detailed information about each intersection of the PickShape with the picked Node can be inquired. The PickInfo object is constructed with basic information and more detailed information can be generated by setting the appropriate mask to the flag argument in the pick methods of BranchGroup and Locale.

Since:

Java 3D 1.4

Nested Class Summary

class

PickInfo.IntersectionInfo The IntersectionInfo object holds extra information about an intersection of a PickShape with a Node as part of a PickInfo.

Field Summary

static int	ALL_GEOM_INFO Specifies that this PickInfo returns all the closest intersection geometry informations.
static int	CLOSEST_DISTANCE Specifies that this PickInfo returns the closest intersection distance.
static int	CLOSEST_GEOM_INFO Specifies that this PickInfo returns only the closest intersection geometry information.
static int	CLOSEST_INTERSECTION_POINT Specifies that this PickInfo returns the closest intersection point.
static int	LOCAL_TO_VWORLD Specifies that this PickInfo returns the computed local to vworld transform.
static int	NODE Specifies that this PickInfo returns the computed intersected Node object.
static int	PICK_BOUNDS Specifies a Pick using the bounds of the pickable nodes.
static int	PICK_GEOMETRY Specifies a Pick using the geometry of the pickable nodes.
static int	SCENEGRAPHPATH Specifies that this PickInfo returns the computed SceneGraphPath object.

Method Summary

double	getClosestDistance() Retrieves the distance between the start point of the pickShape and the closest intersection point.
javax.vecmath.Point3d	getClosestIntersectionPoint() Retrieves the reference to the closest intersection point in this PickInfo object.
PickInfo.IntersectionInfo[]	getIntersectionInfos() Retrieves the reference to the array of intersection results in this PickInfo object.
Transform3D	getLocalToVWorld() Retrieves the reference to the LocalToVworld transform of the picked node in this PickInfo object.
Node	getNode() Retrieves the reference to the picked node, either a Shape3D or a Morph, in this PickInfo object.
