public abstract class J3DGraphics2D

extends java.awt.Graphics2D

The J3DGraphics2D class extends Graphics2D to provide 2D rendering into a Canvas3D. It is an abstract base class that is further extended by a non-public Java 3D implementation class. This class allows Java 2D rendering to be mixed with Java 3D rendering in the same Canvas3D, subject to the same restrictions as imposed for 3D immediate-mode rendering: In mixed-mode rendering, all Java 2D requests must be done from one of the Canvas3D callback methods; in pure-immediate mode, the Java 3D renderer must be stopped for the Canvas3D being rendered into.

An application obtains a J3D 2D graphics context object from the Canvas3D object that the application wishes to render into by using the getGraphics2D method. A new J3DGraphics2D object is created if one does not already exist.

Note that the drawing methods in this class, including those inherited from Graphics2D, are not necessarily executed immediately. They may be buffered up for future execution. Applications must call the flush(boolean) method to ensure that the rendering actually happens. The flush method is implicitly called in the following cases:

• The Canvas3D.swap method calls flush(true)
• The Java 3D renderer calls flush(true) prior to swapping the buffer for a double buffered on-screen Canvas3D
• The Java 3D renderer calls flush(true) prior to copying into the off-screen buffer of an off-screen Canvas3D
• The Java 3D renderer calls flush(false) after calling the preRender, renderField, postRender, and postSwap Canvas3D callback methods.

A single-buffered, pure-immediate mode application must explicitly call flush to ensure that the graphics will be rendered to the Canvas3D.

Since:

Java 3D 1.2

Method Detail

create

public final java.awt.Graphics create()

This method is not supported. The only way to obtain a J3DGraphics2D is from the associated Canvas3D.

Overrides:

create in class java.awt.Graphics

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

Canvas3D.getGraphics2D()

create

public final java.awt.Graphics create(int x,
                                      int y,
                                      int width,
                                      int height)

This method is not supported. The only way to obtain a J3DGraphics2D is from the associated Canvas3D.

Overrides:

create in class java.awt.Graphics

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

Canvas3D.getGraphics2D()

setBackground

public final void setBackground(java.awt.Color color)

This method is not supported. Clearing a Canvas3D is done implicitly via a Background node in the scene graph or explicitly via the clear method in a 3D graphics context.

Overrides:

setBackground in class java.awt.Graphics2D

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

Background, GraphicsContext3D.setBackground(javax.media.j3d.Background), GraphicsContext3D.clear()

getBackground

public final java.awt.Color getBackground()

This method is not supported. Clearing a Canvas3D is done implicitly via a Background node in the scene graph or explicitly via the clear method in a 3D graphics context.

Overrides:

getBackground in class java.awt.Graphics2D

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

Background, GraphicsContext3D.getBackground(), GraphicsContext3D.clear()

clearRect

public final void clearRect(int x,
                            int y,
                            int width,
                            int height)

This method is not supported. Clearing a Canvas3D is done implicitly via a Background node in the scene graph or explicitly via the clear method in a 3D graphics context.

Overrides:

clearRect in class java.awt.Graphics

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - this method is not supported

See Also:

Background, GraphicsContext3D.setBackground(javax.media.j3d.Background), GraphicsContext3D.clear()

flush

public abstract void flush(boolean wait)

Flushes all previously executed rendering operations to the drawing buffer for this 2D graphics object.

Parameters:

wait - flag indicating whether or not to wait for the rendering to be complete before returning from this call.
