public class ExtendedPrimitives

extends java.lang.Object

This class provides some methods to create basic 3d objects that can be used within a jPCT world. All objects have usable uv-coordinates and methods for default values (especially to create objects that fit into a 1*1*1 cube). After creation don't forget to add the object to your world, otherwise you won't see it.

Moves, scales and again moves uv coords on an Object3D object. To let this method work properly you have to follow these rules:
1. Never call strip() before
2. Use build(false) instead of build() method (you have to call it manually)
3. Call touch() on object to apply changes

Parameters:

obj - object whom uv coords should be scaled

uMove1 - u movement before scaling

vMove1 - v movement before scaling

uScale - scale factor for u coords

vScale - scale factor for v coords

uMove2 - u movement after scaling

vMove2 - v movement after scaling
