Class AnimationGroup

java.lang.Object
  org.jscience.biology.lsystems.growing.AnimationGroup

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class AnimationGroup
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable

AnimationGroup is made as collection of scaling and translation transformgroups which belong together. Also the start and end times of the animation of this group are stored in here.

Field Summary

float	m_fAge The age of the objects.
float	m_fEndTime The time when to stop animation
float	m_fStartTime The start time of animation of this objects.
javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup	m_tgScale The transformgroup which represents the scaling of a shape.
javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup	m_tgTrans The transformgroup where to make the translation of the subtree following the scaled element.

Constructor Summary

AnimationGroup(float fStartTime, float fEndTime, javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgScale)
Constructor for leafs.

AnimationGroup(float fStartTime, float fEndTime, javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgScale, javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgTrans)
Constructor for branches.

Method Summary

int	compareTo(java.lang.Object obj) Override this method for the comparable interface which is used to sort the list.
java.lang.String	toString() Makes a string representation of this object.

Field Detail

m_fStartTime

public float m_fStartTime

The start time of animation of this objects.

m_fEndTime

public float m_fEndTime

The time when to stop animation

m_fAge

public float m_fAge

The age of the objects. This is the end time minus the start time.

m_tgScale

public javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup m_tgScale

The transformgroup which represents the scaling of a shape.

m_tgTrans

public javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup m_tgTrans

The transformgroup where to make the translation of the subtree following the scaled element.

Constructor Detail

AnimationGroup

public AnimationGroup(float fStartTime,
                      float fEndTime,
                      javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgScale)

Constructor for leafs. Leafs only have a scale transformgroup so this constructor can be used. Also start and end time of animation are needed.

Parameters:

fStartTime - The time when to start the animation.

fEndTime - The time when to stop the animation.

tgScale - The transformgroup of the shape which has to be scaled.

AnimationGroup

public AnimationGroup(float fStartTime,
                      float fEndTime,
                      javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgScale,
                      javax.media.j3d.TransformGroup tgTrans)

Constructor for branches. Here you need the transformgroup for the translation as well.

Parameters:

fStartTime - The time when to start the animation.

fEndTime - The time when to stop the animation.

tgScale - The transformgroup of the shape which has to be scaled.

tgTrans - The transformgroup for the translation of the subtree.

Method Detail

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object obj)

Override this method for the comparable interface which is used to sort the list.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Parameters:

obj - DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

DOCUMENT ME!

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Makes a string representation of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

The string representing this object.
