public class Canvas3D
extends java.awt.Canvas

The Canvas3D class provides a drawing canvas for 3D rendering. It is used either for on-screen rendering or off-screen rendering. Canvas3D is an extension of the AWT Canvas class that users may further subclass to implement additional functionality.

The Canvas3D object extends the Canvas object to include 3D-related information such as the size of the canvas in pixels, the Canvas3D's location, also in pixels, within a Screen3D object, and whether or not the canvas has stereo enabled.

Because all Canvas3D objects contain a reference to a Screen3D object and because Screen3D objects define the size of a pixel in physical units, Java 3D can convert a Canvas3D size in pixels to a physical world size in meters. It can also determine the Canvas3D's position and orientation in the physical world.

On-screen Rendering vs. Off-screen Rendering

The Canvas3D class is used either for on-screen rendering or off-screen rendering. On-screen Canvas3Ds are added to AWT or Swing Container objects like any other canvas. Java 3D automatically and continuously renders to all on-screen canvases that are attached to an active View object. On-screen Canvas3Ds can be either single or double buffered and they can be either stereo or monoscopic.

Off-screen Canvas3Ds must not be added to any Container. Java 3D renders to off-screen canvases in response to the renderOffScreenBuffer method. Off-screen Canvas3Ds are single buffered. However, on many systems, the actual rendering is done to an off-screen hardware buffer or to a 3D library-specific buffer and only copied to the off-screen buffer of the Canvas when the rendering is complete, at "buffer swap" time. Off-screen Canvas3Ds are monoscopic.

The setOffScreenBuffer method sets the off-screen buffer for this Canvas3D. The specified image is written into by the Java 3D renderer. The size of the specified ImageComponent determines the size, in pixels, of this Canvas3D - the size inherited from Component is ignored. Note that the size, physical width, and physical height of the associated Screen3D must be set explicitly prior to rendering. Failure to do so will result in an exception.

The getOffScreenBuffer method retrieves the off-screen buffer for this Canvas3D.

The renderOffScreenBuffer method schedules the rendering of a frame into this Canvas3D's off-screen buffer. The rendering is done from the point of view of the View object to which this Canvas3D has been added. No rendering is performed if this Canvas3D object has not been added to an active View. This method does not wait for the rendering to actually happen. An application that wishes to know when the rendering is complete must either subclass Canvas3D and override the postSwap method, or call waitForOffScreenRendering.

The setOfScreenLocation methods set the location of this off-screen Canvas3D. The location is the upper-left corner of the Canvas3D relative to the upper-left corner of the corresponding off-screen Screen3D. The function of these methods is similar to that of Component.setLocation for on-screen Canvas3D objects. The default location is (0,0).

Accessing and Modifying an Eye's Image Plate Position

A Canvas3D object provides sophisticated applications with access to the eye's position information in head-tracked, room-mounted runtime environments. It also allows applications to manipulate the position of an eye relative to an image plate in non-head-tracked runtime environments.

The setLeftManualEyeInImagePlate and setRightManualEyeInImagePlate methods set the position of the manual left and right eyes in image plate coordinates. These values determine eye placement when a head tracker is not in use and the application is directly controlling the eye position in image plate coordinates. In head-tracked mode or when the windowEyepointPolicy is RELATIVE_TO_FIELD_OF_VIEW or RELATIVE_TO_COEXISTENCE, this value is ignored. When the windowEyepointPolicy is RELATIVE_TO_WINDOW, only the Z value is used.

The getLeftEyeInImagePlate, getRightEyeInImagePlate, and getCenterEyeInImagePlate methods retrieve the actual position of the left eye, right eye, and center eye in image plate coordinates and copy that value into the object provided. The center eye is the fictional eye half-way between the left and right eye. These three values are a function of the windowEyepointPolicy, the tracking enable flag, and the manual left, right, and center eye positions.

Monoscopic View Policy

The setMonoscopicViewPolicy and getMonoscopicViewPolicy methods set and retrieve the policy regarding how Java 3D generates monoscopic view. If the policy is set to View.LEFT_EYE_VIEW, the view generated corresponds to the view as seen from the left eye. If set to View.RIGHT_EYE_VIEW, the view generated corresponds to the view as seen from the right eye. If set to View.CYCLOPEAN_EYE_VIEW, the view generated corresponds to the view as seen from the "center eye," the fictional eye half-way between the left and right eye. The default monoscopic view policy is View.CYCLOPEAN_EYE_VIEW.

Immediate Mode Rendering

Pure immediate-mode rendering provides for those applications and applets that do not want Java 3D to do any automatic rendering of the scene graph. Such applications may not even wish to build a scene graph to represent their graphical data. However, they use Java 3D's attribute objects to set graphics state and Java 3D's geometric objects to render geometry.

A pure immediate mode application must create a minimal set of Java 3D objects before rendering. In addition to a Canvas3D object, the application must create a View object, with its associated PhysicalBody and PhysicalEnvironment objects, and the following scene graph elements: a VirtualUniverse object, a high-resolution Locale object, a BranchGroup node object, a TransformGroup node object with associated transform, and a ViewPlatform leaf node object that defines the position and orientation within the virtual universe that generates the view.

In immediate mode, all rendering is done completely under user control. It is necessary for the user to clear the 3D canvas, render all geometry, and swap the buffers. Additionally, rendering the right and left eye for stereo viewing becomes the sole responsibility of the application. In pure immediate mode, the user must stop the Java 3D renderer, via the Canvas3D object stopRenderer method, prior to adding the Canvas3D object to an active View object (that is, one that is attached to a live ViewPlatform object).

Other Canvas3D methods related to immediate mode rendering are:

getGraphicsContext3D retrieves the immediate-mode 3D graphics context associated with this Canvas3D. It creates a new graphics context if one does not already exist.

getGraphics2D retrieves the 2D graphics object associated with this Canvas3D. It creates a new 2D graphics object if one does not already exist.

swap synchronizes and swaps buffers on a double-buffered canvas for this Canvas3D object. This method should only be called if the Java 3D renderer has been stopped. In the normal case, the renderer automatically swaps the buffer.

Mixed Mode Rendering

Mixing immediate mode and retained or compiled-retained mode requires more structure than pure immediate mode. In mixed mode, the Java 3D renderer is running continuously, rendering the scene graph into the canvas.

Canvas3D methods related to mixed mode rendering are:

preRender called by the Java 3D rendering loop after clearing the canvas and before any rendering has been done for this frame.

postRender called by the Java 3D rendering loop after completing all rendering to the canvas for this frame and before the buffer swap.

postSwap called by the Java 3D rendering loop after completing all rendering to the canvas, and all other canvases associated with this view, for this frame following the buffer swap.

renderField called by the Java 3D rendering loop during the execution of the rendering loop. It is called once for each field (i.e., once per frame on a mono system or once each for the right eye and left eye on a two-pass stereo system.

The above callback methods are called by the Java 3D rendering system and should not be called by an application directly.

The basic Java 3D stereo rendering loop, executed for each Canvas3D, is as follows:

 clear canvas (both eyes)
 call preRender()                           // user-supplied method
 set left eye view
 render opaque scene graph objects
 call renderField(FIELD_LEFT)               // user-supplied method
 render transparent scene graph objects
 set right eye view
 render opaque scene graph objects again
 call renderField(FIELD_RIGHT)              // user-supplied method
 render transparent scene graph objects again
 call postRender()                          // user-supplied method
 synchronize and swap buffers
 call postSwap()                            // user-supplied method
 

The basic Java 3D monoscopic rendering loop is as follows:

 clear canvas
 call preRender()                            // user-supplied method
 set view
 render opaque scene graph objects
 call renderField(FIELD_ALL)                 // user-supplied method
 render transparent scene graph objects
 call postRender()                           // user-supplied method
 synchronize and swap buffers
 call postSwap()                             // user-supplied method
 

In both cases, the entire loop, beginning with clearing the canvas and ending with swapping the buffers, defines a frame. The application is given the opportunity to render immediate-mode geometry at any of the clearly identified spots in the rendering loop. A user specifies his or her own rendering methods by extending the Canvas3D class and overriding the preRender, postRender, postSwap, and/or renderField methods. Updates to live Geometry, Texture, and ImageComponent objects in the scene graph are not allowed from any of these callback methods.

Serialization

Canvas3D does not support serialization. An attempt to serialize a Canvas3D object will result in an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown.

Constructor Detail

Canvas3D

public Canvas3D(java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration graphicsConfiguration)

Constructs and initializes a new Canvas3D object that Java 3D can render into. The following Canvas3D attributes are initialized to default values as shown:

left manual eye in image plate : (0.142, 0.135, 0.4572)
right manual eye in image plate : (0.208, 0.135, 0.4572)
stereo enable : true
double buffer enable : true
monoscopic view policy : View.CYCLOPEAN_EYE_VIEW
off-screen mode : false
off-screen buffer : null
off-screen location : (0,0)

Parameters:

graphicsConfiguration - a valid GraphicsConfiguration object that will be used to create the canvas. This object should not be null and should be created using a GraphicsConfigTemplate3D or the getPreferredConfiguration() method of the SimpleUniverse utility. For backward compatibility with earlier versions of Java 3D, a null or default GraphicsConfiguration will still work when used to create a Canvas3D on the default screen, but an error message will be printed. A NullPointerException or IllegalArgumentException will be thrown in a subsequent release.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified GraphicsConfiguration does not support 3D rendering

Canvas3D

public Canvas3D(java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration graphicsConfiguration,
                boolean offScreen)

Constructs and initializes a new Canvas3D object that Java 3D can render into.

Parameters:

graphicsConfiguration - a valid GraphicsConfiguration object that will be used to create the canvas. This must be created either with a GraphicsConfigTemplate3D or by using the getPreferredConfiguration() method of the SimpleUniverse utility.

offScreen - a flag that indicates whether this canvas is an off-screen 3D rendering canvas. Note that if offScreen is set to true, this Canvas3D object cannot be used for normal rendering; it should not be added to any Container object.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the GraphicsConfiguration is null.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified GraphicsConfiguration does not support 3D rendering

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

Method Detail

paint

public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)

Canvas3D uses the paint callback to track when it is possible to render into the canvas. Subclasses of Canvas3D that override this method need to call super.paint() in their paint method for Java 3D to function properly.

Overrides:

paint in class java.awt.Canvas

Parameters:

g - the graphics context

addNotify

public void addNotify()

Canvas3D uses the addNotify callback to track when it is added to a container. Subclasses of Canvas3D that override this method need to call super.addNotify() in their addNotify() method for Java 3D to function properly.

Overrides:

addNotify in class java.awt.Canvas

removeNotify

public void removeNotify()

Canvas3D uses the removeNotify callback to track when it is removed from a container. Subclasses of Canvas3D that override this method need to call super.removeNotify() in their removeNotify() method for Java 3D to function properly.

Overrides:

removeNotify in class java.awt.Component

getScreen3D

public Screen3D getScreen3D()

Retrieve the Screen3D object that this Canvas3D is attached to. If this Canvas3D is an off-screen buffer, a new Screen3D object is created corresponding to the off-screen buffer.

Returns:

the 3D screen object that this Canvas3D is attached to

getGraphicsContext3D

public GraphicsContext3D getGraphicsContext3D()

Get the immediate mode 3D graphics context associated with this Canvas3D. A new graphics context object is created if one does not already exist.

Returns:

a GraphicsContext3D object that can be used for immediate mode rendering to this Canvas3D.

getGraphics2D

public J3DGraphics2D getGraphics2D()

Get the 2D graphics object associated with this Canvas3D. A new 2D graphics object is created if one does not already exist.

Returns:

a Graphics2D object that can be used for Java 2D rendering into this Canvas3D.

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

preRender

public void preRender()

This routine is called by the Java 3D rendering loop after clearing the canvas and before any rendering has been done for this frame. Applications that wish to perform operations in the rendering loop, prior to any actual rendering may override this function.

Updates to live Geometry, Texture, and ImageComponent objects in the scene graph are not allowed from this method.

NOTE: Applications should not call this method.

postRender

public void postRender()

This routine is called by the Java 3D rendering loop after completing all rendering to the canvas for this frame and before the buffer swap. Applications that wish to perform operations in the rendering loop, following any actual rendering may override this function.

Updates to live Geometry, Texture, and ImageComponent objects in the scene graph are not allowed from this method.

NOTE: Applications should not call this method.

postSwap

public void postSwap()

This routine is called by the Java 3D rendering loop after completing all rendering to the canvas, and all other canvases associated with this view, for this frame following the buffer swap. Applications that wish to perform operations at the very end of the rendering loop may override this function. In off-screen mode, all rendering is copied to the off-screen buffer before this method is called.

Updates to live Geometry, Texture, and ImageComponent objects in the scene graph are not allowed from this method.

NOTE: Applications should not call this method.

renderField

public void renderField(int fieldDesc)

This routine is called by the Java 3D rendering loop during the execution of the rendering loop. It is called once for each field (i.e., once per frame on a mono system or once each for the right eye and left eye on a two-pass stereo system. This is intended for use by applications that want to mix retained/compiled-retained mode rendering with some immediate mode rendering. Applications that wish to perform operations during the rendering loop, may override this function.

Updates to live Geometry, Texture, and ImageComponent objects in the scene graph are not allowed from this method.

NOTE: Applications should not call this method.

Parameters:

fieldDesc - field description, one of: FIELD_LEFT, FIELD_RIGHT or FIELD_ALL. Applications that wish to work correctly in stereo mode should render the same image for both FIELD_LEFT and FIELD_RIGHT calls. If Java 3D calls the renderer with FIELD_ALL then the immediate mode rendering only needs to be done once.

stopRenderer

public final void stopRenderer()

Stop the Java 3D renderer on this Canvas3D object. If the Java 3D renderer is currently running, the rendering will be synchronized before being stopped. No further rendering will be done to this canvas by Java 3D until the renderer is started again. In pure immediate mode this method should be called prior to adding this canvas to an active View object.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Canvas3D is in off-screen mode.

startRenderer

public final void startRenderer()

Start the Java 3D renderer on this Canvas3D object. If the Java 3D renderer is not currently running, any rendering to other Canvas3D objects sharing the same View will be synchronized before this Canvas3D's renderer is (re)started. When a Canvas3D is created, it is initially marked as being started. This means that as soon as the Canvas3D is added to an active View object, the rendering loop will render the scene graph to the canvas.

isRendererRunning

public final boolean isRendererRunning()

Retrieves the state of the renderer for this Canvas3D object.

Returns:

the state of the renderer

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

isOffScreen

public boolean isOffScreen()

Retrieves a flag indicating whether this Canvas3D is an off-screen canvas.

Returns:

true if this Canvas3D is an off-screen canvas; false if this is an on-screen canvas.

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

setOffScreenBuffer

public void setOffScreenBuffer(ImageComponent2D buffer)

Sets the off-screen buffer for this Canvas3D. The specified image is written into by the Java 3D renderer. The size of the specified ImageComponent determines the size, in pixels, of this Canvas3D--the size inherited from Component is ignored.

NOTE: the size, physical width, and physical height of the associated Screen3D must be set explicitly prior to rendering. Failure to do so will result in an exception.

Parameters:

buffer - the image component that will be rendered into by subsequent calls to renderOffScreenBuffer. The image component must not be part of a live scene graph, nor may it subsequently be made part of a live scene graph while being used as an off-screen buffer; an IllegalSharingException is thrown in such cases. The buffer may be null, indicating that the previous off-screen buffer is released without a new buffer being set.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Canvas3D is not in off-screen mode.

RestrictedAccessException - if an off-screen rendering is in process for this Canvas3D.

IllegalSharingException - if the specified ImageComponent2D is part of a live scene graph

IllegalSharingException - if the specified ImageComponent2D is being used by an immediate mode context, or by another Canvas3D as an off-screen buffer.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the image class of the specified ImageComponent2D is not ImageClass.BUFFERED_IMAGE.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified ImageComponent2D is in by-reference mode and its RenderedImage is null.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the ImageComponent2D format is not a 3-component format (e.g., FORMAT_RGB) or a 4-component format (e.g., FORMAT_RGBA).

getOffScreenBuffer

public ImageComponent2D getOffScreenBuffer()

Retrieves the off-screen buffer for this Canvas3D.

Returns:

the current off-screen buffer for this Canvas3D.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Canvas3D is not in off-screen mode.

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

renderOffScreenBuffer

public void renderOffScreenBuffer()

Schedules the rendering of a frame into this Canvas3D's off-screen buffer. The rendering is done from the point of view of the View object to which this Canvas3D has been added. No rendering is performed if this Canvas3D object has not been added to an active View. This method does not wait for the rendering to actually happen. An application that wishes to know when the rendering is complete must either subclass Canvas3D and override the postSwap method, or call waitForOffScreenRendering.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the off-screen buffer is null.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this Canvas3D is not in off-screen mode, or if either the width or the height of the associated Screen3D's size is <= 0, or if the associated Screen3D's physical width or height is <= 0.

RestrictedAccessException - if an off-screen rendering is already in process for this Canvas3D or if the Java 3D renderer is stopped.

Since:
