public class RotPosPathInterpolator
extends PathInterpolator

RotPosPathInterpolator behavior. This class defines a behavior that modifies the rotational and translational components of its target TransformGroup by linearly interpolating among a series of predefined knot/positon and knot/orientation pairs (using the value generated by the specified Alpha object). The interpolated position and orientation are used to generate a transform in the local coordinate system of this interpolator.

Constructor Detail

RotPosPathInterpolator

public RotPosPathInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                              TransformGroup target,
                              Transform3D axisOfTransform,
                              float[] knots,
                              javax.vecmath.Quat4f[] quats,
                              javax.vecmath.Point3f[] positions)
Constructs a new interpolator that varies the rotation and translation of the target TransformGroup's transform.

Parameters:
alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator
target - the TransformGroup node affected by this translator
axisOfTransform - the transform that defines the local coordinate system in which this interpolator operates
knots - an array of knot values that specify interpolation points.
quats - an array of quaternion values at the knots.
positions - an array of position values at the knots.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the lengths of the knots, quats, and positions arrays are not all the same.
Method Detail

setQuat

public void setQuat(int index,
                    javax.vecmath.Quat4f quat)
Sets the quat at the specified index for this interpolator.

Parameters:
index - the index to be changed
quat - the new quat value

getQuat

public void getQuat(int index,
                    javax.vecmath.Quat4f quat)
Retrieves the quat value at the specified index.

Parameters:
index - the index of the value requested
quat - the quat to receive the quat value at the index

setPosition

public void setPosition(int index,
                        javax.vecmath.Point3f position)
Sets the position at the specified index for this interpolator.

Parameters:
index - the index to be changed
position - the new position value

getPosition

public void getPosition(int index,
                        javax.vecmath.Point3f position)
Retrieves the position value at the specified index.

Parameters:

                          javax.vecmath.Point3f[] positions)
Replaces the existing arrays of knot values, quaternion values, and position values with the specified arrays. The arrays of knots, quats, and positions are copied into this interpolator object.

Parameters:
knots - a new array of knot values that specify interpolation points.
quats - a new array of quaternion values at the knots.

Since:
Java 3D 1.2

getPositions

public void getPositions(javax.vecmath.Point3f[] positions)

getAxisOfRotPos

public Transform3D getAxisOfRotPos()
Deprecated. As of Java 3D version 1.3, replaced by TransformInterpolator.getTransformAxis()

Java 3D 1.3

cloneNode

public Node cloneNode(boolean forceDuplicate)
Used to create a new instance of the node. This routine is called by cloneTree to duplicate the current node.

Overrides:
cloneNode in class Node
Parameters:
forceDuplicate - when set to true, causes the duplicateOnCloneTree flag to be ignored. When false, the value of each node's duplicateOnCloneTree variable determines whether NodeComponent data is duplicated or copied.
