public class ScaleInterpolator
extends TransformInterpolator

Scale interpolation behavior. This class defines a behavior that modifies the uniform scale component of its target TransformGroup by linearly interpolating between a pair of specified scale values (using the value generated by the specified Alpha object). The interpolated scale value is used to generate a scale transform in the local coordinate system of this interpolator.

Constructor Detail

ScaleInterpolator

public ScaleInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                         TransformGroup target)
Constructs a trivial scale interpolator that varies its target TransformGroup node between the two specified alpha values using the specified alpha, an identity matrix, a minimum scale = 0.1f, and a maximum scale = 1.0f.

Parameters:
alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator
target - the TransformGroup node affected by this interpolator

ScaleInterpolator

public ScaleInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                         TransformGroup target,
                         Transform3D axisOfTransform,
                         float minimumScale,
                         float maximumScale)
Constructs a new scaleInterpolator object that varies its target TransformGroup node's scale component between two scale values (minimumScale and maximumScale).

Parameters:
alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator
target - the TransformGroup node affected by this interpolator
axisOfTransform - the transform that defines the local coordinate system in which this interpolator operates; the scale is done about the origin of this local coordinate system.
minimumScale - the starting scale
maximumScale - the ending scale
Method Detail

setMinimumScale

public void setMinimumScale(float scale)
This method sets the minimumScale for this interpolator.

Parameters:
scale - The new minimal scale

getMinimumScale

public float getMinimumScale()
This method retrieves this interpolator's minimumScale.

Returns:
the interpolator's minimal scale value

setMaximumScale

public void setMaximumScale(float scale)
This method sets the maximumScale for this interpolator.

Parameters:
scale - the new maximum scale

getMaximumScale

public float getMaximumScale()
This method retrieves this interpolator's maximumScale.

Returns:
the interpolator's maximum scale vslue

setAxisOfScale

public void setAxisOfScale(Transform3D axisOfScale)
Deprecated. As of Java 3D version 1.3, replaced by TransformInterpolator.setTransformAxis(Transform3D)


getAxisOfScale

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


computeTransform

public void computeTransform(float alphaValue,
                             Transform3D transform)
Computes the new transform for this interpolator for a given alpha value.

Specified by:
computeTransform in class TransformInterpolator
Parameters:
alphaValue - alpha value between 0.0 and 1.0
transform - object that receives the computed transform for the specified alpha value
Since:
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.
