com.threed.jpct.PolygonManager

public class PolygonManager
extends java.lang.Object

A PolygonManager is part of each Object3D and can be obtained from that object. It allows to access an object's polygonal data that's normally hidden inside of jPCT.
The polygon ID that most methods require can be obtained by "wild guessing", by picking a specific polygon or from a CollisionEvent.
When using a PolygonManager on a compiled object, it may be required to synchronize your changes to the FrameBuffer by using the FrameBuffer's lock object.

Object3D.getPolygonManager(), CollisionEvent

Method Detail

getPolygonTexture

public int getPolygonTexture(int polyID)

Returns the texture ID of a polygon or -1 in case of an error. The corresponding texture can be obtained from the TextureManager.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

Returns:

the texture ID

See Also:

TextureManager.getTextureByID(int)

getPolygonTextures

public int[] getPolygonTextures(int polyID)

Returns the texture IDs of a polygon or null in case of an error. The corresponding textures can be obtained from the TextureManager. The returned array is allowed to contain TextureManager.TEXTURE_NOTFOUND-IDs. In that case, you can break after finding the first one.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

Returns:

the texture ID or null

See Also:

TextureManager.getTextureByID(int)

setPolygonTexture

public void setPolygonTexture(int polyID,
                              int textureID)

Sets the texture for a polygon. The texture ID is the ID of the texture in the World instance to which this object is assigned. It can be obtained by calling TextureManager.getTextureID(). The polygon's ID is what the picking methods in Interact2D or a CollisionEvent may return.

Parameters:

polyID - the ID of the polygon

textureID - the ID of the texture

addTexture

public void addTexture(int polyID,
                       int tid,
                       int mode)

Adds a texture to next free stage, if another free stage is available.

Parameters:

polyID - the polygon id

tid - the texture's id

mode - the blending mode (as defined in TextureInfo)

See Also:

TextureInfo

setPolygonTexture

public void setPolygonTexture(int polyID,
                              TextureInfo tInf)

Sets the textures and its coordinates for a polygon. This method uses a TextureInfo instance, i.e. you may change texture coordinates and assign/remove multiple textures per polygon.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

tInf - TextureInfo the TextureInfo containing the new texturing information

setVertexAlpha

public void setVertexAlpha(int polyID,
                           int vertexNumber,
                           float alpha)

Sets the alpha value for an objects vertex. Once done on an object, the overall transparency value for this object is obsolete and all transparency will be calculated using the alpha values assigned to the vertices, default is 1.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

vertexNumber - int the number if the vertex (0..2)

alpha - the new alpha value in a range of (0..1)

getTransformedVertex

public SimpleVector getTransformedVertex(int polyID,
                                         int vertexNumber)

Returns a polygon's vertex transformed into world space.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

vertexNumber - int the number if the vertex (0..2)

Returns:

the vertex or null in case of an error

getTransformedVertex

public SimpleVector getTransformedVertex(int polyID,
                                         int vertexNumber,
                                         Matrix worldTransformationMatrix,
                                         SimpleVector toFill)

Returns a polygon's vertex transformed into world space. This is a special purpose method that takes the object's current world transformation matrix as an optional parameter to speed up calculations for multiple calls. In addition, it takes a SimpleVector to be filled which will also be returned.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

vertexNumber - int the number if the vertex (0..2)

worldTransformationMatrix - Matrix the object's world transformation. May be null, but that will decrease performance of multiple calls.

toFill - SimpleVector the SimpleVector to be filled with the result.

Returns:

the vertex or null in case of an error

getTextureUV

public SimpleVector getTextureUV(int polyID,
                                 int vertexNumber)

Returns the normalized texture coordinates mapped to a SimpleVector's x and y component. This method won't work on stripped objects and will return null in that case.

Parameters:

polyID - int the ID of the polygon

vertexNumber - int the number if the vertex (0..2)

Returns:

SimpleVector u and v in SimpleVector.x and .y

getTextureUV

public SimpleVector getTextureUV(int polyID,
