public class SceneBase

extends java.lang.Object

implements Scene

This class implements the Scene interface and extends it to incorporate utilities that could be used by loaders. There should be little need for future loaders to subclass this, or to implement Scene directly, as the functionality of a SceneBase is fairly straightforward. This class is responsible for both the storage and retrieval of data from the Scene. The storage methods (used only by Loader writers) are all of the add* routines. The retrieval methods (used primarily by Loader users) are all of the get* routines.

Method Detail

setSceneGroup

public void setSceneGroup(BranchGroup scene)

Sets the sceneGroup to be the group that is passed in.

addViewGroup

public void addViewGroup(TransformGroup tg)

Adds the given group to the list of view groups.

addHorizontalFOV

public void addHorizontalFOV(float hfov)

Adds the given field of view value to the list of field of view values.

addBehaviorNode

public void addBehaviorNode(Behavior b)

Adds the given behavior to a list of behaviors

addLightNode

public void addLightNode(Light light)

Adds the given Light node to the list of lights.

addBackgroundNode

public void addBackgroundNode(Background background)

Adds the given Background node to the list of backgrounds.

addSoundNode

public void addSoundNode(Sound sound)

Adds the given Sound node to the list of sounds.

addFogNode

public void addFogNode(Fog fog)

Adds the given Fog node to the list of fog nodes.

addDescription

public void addDescription(java.lang.String descriptionString)

Sets the text description of the scene to the passed in String.

addNamedObject

public void addNamedObject(java.lang.String name,
                           java.lang.Object object)

Adds the given String/Object pair to the table of named objects.

getSceneGroup

public BranchGroup getSceneGroup()

This method returns the BranchGroup containing the overall scene loaded by the loader.

Specified by:

getSceneGroup in interface Scene

getViewGroups

public TransformGroup[] getViewGroups()

This method returns an array of all View Groups defined in the file. A View Group is defined as a TransformGroup which contains a ViewPlatform. The TransformGroup holds the position/orientation information for the given ViewPlatform and the ViewPlatform holds an view-specific information, such as Field of View.

Specified by:

getViewGroups in interface Scene

getHorizontalFOVs

public float[] getHorizontalFOVs()

This method returns an array of floats that contains the horizontal field of view values for each corresponding entry in the array of view groups returned by the method getViewGroups.

Specified by:

getHorizontalFOVs in interface Scene

getLightNodes

public Light[] getLightNodes()

This method returns an array of all Lights defined in the file.

Specified by:

getLightNodes in interface Scene

getNamedObjects

public java.util.Hashtable getNamedObjects()

This method returns a Hashtable which contains a list of all named objects in the file and their associated scene graph objects. The naming scheme for file objects is file-type dependent, but may include such names as the DEF names of Vrml or filenames of subjects (as in Lightwave 3D).

Specified by:

getNamedObjects in interface Scene

getBackgroundNodes

public Background[] getBackgroundNodes()

This method returns an array of all Background nodes defined in the file.

Specified by:

getBackgroundNodes in interface Scene

getFogNodes

public Fog[] getFogNodes()

This method returns an array of all Fog nodes defined in the file.

Specified by:

getFogNodes in interface Scene

getBehaviorNodes

public Behavior[] getBehaviorNodes()

This method returns a group containing all of the Behavior nodes in the scene.

Specified by:

getBehaviorNodes in interface Scene

getSoundNodes

public Sound[] getSoundNodes()

This method returns an array of all of the Sound nodes defined in the file.

Specified by:

getSoundNodes in interface Scene

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

This method returns the text description of the file. If no such description exists, this method should return null.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Scene
