public class PositionInterpolator
extends TransformInterpolator

Position interpolator behavior. This class defines a behavior that modifies the translational component of its target TransformGroup by linearly interpolating between a pair of specified positions (using the value generated by the specified Alpha object). The interpolated position is used to generate a translation transform along the local X-axis of this interpolator.

Constructor Detail

PositionInterpolator

public PositionInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                    TransformGroup target)

Constructs a trivial position interpolator with a specified target, an axisOfTranslation set to Identity, a startPosition of 0.0f, and an endPosition of 1.0f.

Parameters:

alpha - The alpha object for this Interpolator

target - The target for this position Interpolator

PositionInterpolator

public PositionInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                    TransformGroup target,
                    Transform3D axisOfTransform,
                    float startPosition,
                    float endPosition)

Constructs a new position interpolator that varies the target TransformGroup's translational component (startPosition and endPosition).

Parameters:

alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator

target - the transformgroup node effected by this positionInterpolator

axisOfTransform - the transform that defines the local coordinate system in which this interpolator operates. The translation is done along the X-axis of this local coordinate system.

startPosition - the starting position

endPosition - the ending position

Method Detail

setStartPosition

public void setStartPosition(float position)

This method sets the startPosition for this interpolator.

Parameters:

position - The new start position

getStartPosition

public float getStartPosition()

This method retrieves this interpolator's startPosition.

Returns:

the interpolator's start position value

setEndPosition

public void setEndPosition(float position)

This method sets the endPosition for this interpolator.

Parameters:

position - The new end position

getEndPosition

public float getEndPosition()

This method retrieves this interpolator's endPosition.

Returns:

the interpolator's end position vslue

setAxisOfTranslation

public void setAxisOfTranslation(Transform3D axisOfTranslation)

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

getAxisOfTranslation

public Transform3D getAxisOfTranslation()

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.
