## com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry
Class GeometryInfo

    java.lang.Object
      com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.GeometryInfo

    public class GeometryInfo

extends java.lang.Object

The GeometryInfo object holds data for processing by the Java3D geometry utility tools.

> The NormalGenerator adds normals to geometry without normals.

> The Stripifier combines adjacent triangles into triangle strips for more efficent rendering.

Also, the GeometryCompressor can take a set of GeometryInfo objects in a CompressionSteam and generate a CompressedGeometry object from the geometry.

Geometry is loaded into a GeometryInfo in a manner similar to the GeometryArray methods. The constructor for the GeometryInfo takes a flag that specifies the kind of data being loaded. The vertex data is specified using methods that are similar to the GeometryArray methods, but with fewer variations.

The major difference between GeometryInfo and GeometryArray is that the number of vertices, vertex format, and other data are specified implictly, rather than as part of the constructor. The number of verticies comes from the number of coordinates passed to the setCoordinates() method. The format comes from the set of data components that are specified. For example, calling the setCoordinates(), setColors3() and setTextureCoordinatesParames(1, 2) methods implies a format of COORDINATES | COLOR_3 | TEXTURE_COORDINATE_2. Indexed representation is specified by calling the methods that specify the indices, for example setCoordinateIndices().

Stripped primitives are loaded using the TRIANGLE_FAN_ARRAY or TRIANGLE_STRIP_ARRAY flags to the constructor. The setStripCounts() method specifies the length of each strip.

A set of complex polygons is loaded using the POLYGON_ARRAY flag to the constructor. The setStripCounts() method specifies the length of each contour of the polygons. The setContourCounts() method specifies the number of countours in each polygon. For example, a triangle with a triangular hole would have strip counts [3, 3] (indicating two contours of three points) and contour counts [2] (indicating a single polygon with two contours).

GeometryInfo itelf contains some simple utilities, such as calculating indices for non-indexed data ("indexifying") and getting rid of unused data in your indexed geometry ("compacting").

The geometry utility tools modify the contents of the GeometryInfo. After processing, the resulting geometry can be extracted from the GeometryInfo by calling getGeometryArray(). If multiple tools are used, the order of processing should be: generate normals, then stripify. For example, to convert a general mesh of polygons without normals into an optimized mesh call:

             GeometryInfo gi = new GeometryInfo(GeometryInfo.POLYGON_ARRAY);
             // initialize the geometry info here
             // generate normals
             NormalGenerator ng = new NormalGenerator();
             ng.generateNormals(gi);
             // stripify
             Stripifier st = new Stripifier();
             st.stripify(gi);
             GeometryArray result = gi.getGeometryArray();

### getColors

    public java.lang.Object[] getColors()

  Retrieves a reference to the colors array. Will be either `Color3f[]` or `Color4f[]` depending on the type of the input data. Call getNumColorComponents() to find out which version is returned.

### getNumColorComponents

    public int getNumColorComponents()

  Returns the number of color data components stored per vertex in the current GeometryInfo object (3 for RGB or 4 for RGBA). If no colors are currently defined, 0 is returned.

    public void setTextureCoordinateParams(int numSets,
                                           int dim)

  This method is used to specify the number of texture coordinate sets and the dimensionality of the texture coordinates. The number of texture coordinate sets must be specified to the GeometryInfo class before any of the sets are specified. The dimensionality of the texture coordinates may be 2, 3, or 4, corresponding to 2D, 3D, or 4D texture coordinates respectively.(All sets must have the same dimensionality.) The default is zero, 2D texture coordinate sets. This method should be called before any texture coordinate sets are specified because calling this method will delete all previously specified texture coordinate and texture coordinate index arrays associated with this GeometryInfo. For example:

  >             geomInfo.setTextureCoordinateParams(2, 3);
  >             geomInfo.setTextureCoordinates(0, tex0);
  >             geomInfo.setTextureCoordinates(1, tex1);
  >             geomInfo.setTextureCoordinateParams(1, 2);
  >             geomInfo.getTexCoordSetCount();

  The second call to `setTextureCoordinateParams` will erase all the texture coordinate arrays, so the subsequent call to `getTexCoordSetCount` will return 1.

  Parameters:
    `numSets` - The number of texture coordinate sets that will be specified for this GeometryInfo object.
    `dim` - The dimensionality of the texture coordinates. Has to be 2, 3 or 4.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the dimensionality of the texture coordinates is not one of 2, 3 or 4.

### getTexCoordSetCount

    public int getTexCoordSetCount()

  Returns the number of texture coordinate sets in this GeometryInfo. This value is set with setTextureCoordinateParams(). If setTextureCoordinateParams() has not been called, 0 is returned unless one of the deprecated texture coordinate methods has been called. Calling one of the deprecated texture coordinate methods sets the count to 1. The deprecated texture coordinate methods are those that don't take texCoordSet as the first parameter.

  Returns:
    the number of texture coordinate sets in this GeometryInfo.

### getNumTexCoordComponents

    public int getNumTexCoordComponents()

  Returns the number of texture coordinate components that are stored per vertex. Returns 2 for ST (2D), 3 for STR (3D), or 4 for STRQ (4D), aslo known as the "dimensionality" of the coordinates. This value is set with setTextureCoordinateParams(). If setTextureCoordinateParams() has not been called, 0 is returned unless one of the deprecated texture coordinate methods has been called. Calling one of the deprecated texture coordinate methods sets the dimensionality explicitly (if you called setTextureCoordinates(Point2f[]) then 2 is returned). The deprecated texture coordinate methods are those that don't take texCoordSet as the first parameter.

### setTexCoordSetMap

    public void setTexCoordSetMap(int[] map)

  Sets the mapping between texture coordinate sets and texture units. See the GeometryArray constructor for further details.

  Note: If the texCoordSetMap is not set, multi-texturing is turned off. Only the texture coordinate set at index 0 (if set) will be used. Any other sets specified by the GeometryInfo.setTextureCoordinate* methods will be ignored.

### getTexCoordSetMap

    public int[] getTexCoordSetMap()

  Returns a reference to the texture coordinate set map. See the GeometryArray constructor for further details.

### setTextureCoordinates

### setCoordinateIndices

    public void setCoordinateIndices(int[] coordinateIndices)

  Sets the array of indices into the Coordinate array. No data copying is done - a reference to user data is used.

### getCoordinateIndices

    public int[] getCoordinateIndices()

  Retrieves a reference to the array of indices into the coordinate array. This method should be considered for advanced users only. Novice users should just use getGeometryArray() to retrieve their data so that the internal format of GeometryInfo is of no concern. Depending on which of the utility routines you've called on your GeometryInfo object, the results may not be what you expect. If you've called the Stripifier, your GeometryInfo object's Primitive has been changed to indexed TRIANGLE_STRIP_ARRAY and your data will be formatted accordingly. Similarly, if you've called the Triangulator, your data is in indexed TRIANGLE_ARRAY format. Generating normals with the NormalGenerator utility will convert your data to indexed TRIANGLE_ARRAY also, but if you call getGeometryArray without calling the Stripifier or Triangulator, your data will be converted back to the original primitive type when creating the GeometryArray object to pass back. However, if your creaseAngle was not Math.PI (no creases - smooth shading), then the introduction of creases into your model may have split primitives, lengthening the StripCounts and index arrays from your original data.

### setColorIndices

    public void setColorIndices(int[] colorIndices)

  Sets the array of indices into the Color array. No data copying is done - a reference to user data is used.

### getColorIndices

    public int[] getColorIndices()

  Retrieves a reference to the array of indices into the color array. This method should be considered for advanced users only. Novice users should just use getGeometryArray() to retrieve their data so that the internal format of GeometryInfo is of no concern. Depending on which of the utility routines you've called on your GeometryInfo object, the results may not be what you expect. If you've called the Stripifier, your GeometryInfo object's Primitive has been changed to indexed TRIANGLE_STRIP_ARRAY and your data will be formatted accordingly. Similarly, if you've called the Triangulator, your data is in indexed TRIANGLE_ARRAY format.

  Sets the array of indices into the Normal array. No data copying is done - a reference to user data is used.

### getNormalIndices

    public int[] getNormalIndices()

Novice users should just use getGeometryArray() to retrieve their data so that the internal format of GeometryInfo is of no concern. Depending on which of the utility routines you've called on your GeometryInfo object, the results may not be what you expect. If you've called the Stripifier, your GeometryInfo object's Primitive has been changed to indexed TRIANGLE_STRIP_ARRAY and your data will be formatted accordingly. Similarly, if you've called the Triangulator, your data is in indexed TRIANGLE_ARRAY format. Generating normals with the NormalGenerator utility will convert your data to indexed TRIANGLE_ARRAY also, but if you call getGeometryArray without calling the Stripifier or Triangulator, your data will be converted back to the original primitive type when creating the GeometryArray object to pass back. However, if your creaseAngle was not Math.PI (no creases - smooth shading), then the introduction of creases into your model may have split primitives, lengthening the StripCounts and index arrays from your original data.

### setTextureCoordinateIndices

    public void setTextureCoordinateIndices(int texCoordSet,
                                            int[] texIndices)

  Sets one of the texture coordinate index arrays. No data copying is done - a reference to user data is used.

  Parameters:
    `texCoordSet` - The texture coordinate set for which these coordinate indices are being specified.
    `texIndices` - The integer array of indices into the specified texture coordinate set
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - If `texCoordSet` < 0 or `texCoordSet >= texCoordSetCount`.

### setTextureCoordinateIndices

    public void setTextureCoordinateIndices(int[] texIndices)

  Deprecated. As of Java 3D 1.3 replaced by `setTextureCoordinateIndices(int texCoordSet, int indices[])`

  Sets the array of indices into texture coordinate set 0. Do not call this method if you are using more than one set of texture coordinates. No data is copied - a reference to the user data is used.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - If `texCoordSetCount > 1`.

### getTextureCoordinateIndices

    public int[] getTextureCoordinateIndices(int texCoordSet)

  Returns:
    Integer array of the texture coordinate indices for the specified set.

### getTextureCoordinateIndices

    public int[] getTextureCoordinateIndices()

  Deprecated. As of Java 3D 1.3 replaced by `int[] getTextureCoordinateIndices(int texCoordSet)`

  Returns a reference to texture coordinate index set 0. Equivalent to `getTextureCoordinateIndices(0)`.

  Returns:
    Integer array of the texture coordinate indices for set 0

### setStripCounts

    public void setStripCounts(int[] stripCounts)

  Sets the array of strip counts. If index lists have been set for this GeomteryInfo object then the data is indexed and the stripCounts are like stripIndexCounts. If no index lists have been set then the data is non-indexed and the stripCounts are like stripVertexCounts.

  See Also:
    `GeometryStripArray.GeometryStripArray(int, int, int[] stripVertexCounts)`, `IndexedGeometryStripArray.IndexedGeometryStripArray(int, int, int, int[] stripIndexCounts)`

  Retrieves a reference to the array of stripCounts. This method should be considered for advanced users only. Novice users should just use getGeometryArray() to retrieve their data so that the internal format of GeometryInfo is of no concern.

### setContourCounts

    public void setContourCounts(int[] contourCounts)

  Sets the list of contour counts. Only used with the POLYGON_ARRAY primitive. Polygons can be made of several vertex lists called contours. The first list is the polygon, and subsequent lists are "holes" that are removed from the polygon. All of the holes must be contained entirely within the polygon.

### getContourCounts

    public int[] getContourCounts()

  Retrieves a reference to the array of contourCounts.

### indexify

    public void indexify(boolean useCoordIndexOnly)

  Create index lists for all data lists. Identical data entries are guaranteed to use the same index value. Does not remove unused data values from the object - call compact() to do this.

  Parameters:
    `useCoordIndexOnly` - Reformat the data into the GeometryArray.USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format where there is only one index list. If the data is already in the USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format, sending false (or calling indexify()) will change it to the normal indexed format.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).

### indexify

    public void indexify()

### compact

    public void compact()

  Remove unused data from an indexed dataset. Indexed data may contain data entries that are never referenced by the dataset. This routine will remove those entries where appropriate and renumber the indices to match the new values.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).

### unindexify

    public void unindexify()

  Get rid of index lists by reorganizing data into an un-indexed format. Does nothing if no index lists are set.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).

### recomputeIndices

    public void recomputeIndices()

  Redo indexes to guarantee connection information. Use this routine if your original data is in indexed format, but you don't trust that the indexing is correct. After this routine it is guaranteed that two points with the same position will have the same coordinate index (for example). Try this if you see glitches in your normals or stripification, to rule out bad indexing as the source of the problem. Works with normal indexed format or USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).

### reverse

    public void reverse()

  Reverse the order of all lists. If your polygons are formatted with clockwise winding, you will always see the back and never the front. (Java 3D always wants vertices specified with a counter-clockwise winding.) This method will (in effect) reverse the winding of your data by inverting all of the index lists and the stripCounts and contourCounts lists.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).

### getUseCoordIndexOnly

    public boolean getUseCoordIndexOnly()

  Returns true if the data in this GeometryInfo is currently formatted in the USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format where a single index list is used to index into all data lists.

  See Also:
    `indexify(boolean)`, `getIndexedGeometryArray(boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean)`

### setUseCoordIndexOnly

    public void setUseCoordIndexOnly(boolean useCoordIndexOnly)

  Tells the GeometryInfo that its data is formatted in the USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format with a single index list (the coordinate index list) that indexes into all data lists (coordinates, normals, colors, and texture coordinates). NOTE: this will not convert the data for you. This method is for when you are sending in data useng the setCoordinates, setNormals, setColors, and/or setTextureCoordinates methods, and you are only setting one index using setCoordinateIndices(). If you want GeometryInfo to convert your data to the USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format, use indexify(true) or getIndexedGeometryArray with the useCoordIndexOnly parameter set to true.

  See Also:
    `indexify(boolean)`, `getIndexedGeometryArray(boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean, boolean)`

### getGeometryArray

    public GeometryArray getGeometryArray(boolean byRef,
                                          boolean interleaved,

### getGeometryArray

    public GeometryArray getGeometryArray()

  Creates and returns a non-indexed Java 3D GeometryArray object based on the data in the GeometryInfo object. This object is suitable to be attached to a Shape3D node for rendering. The geometry is not created using data BY_REFERENCE, INTERLEAVED, or USE_NIO_BUFFER.

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if coordinate data is missing, if the index lists aren't all the same length, if an index list is set and the corresponding data list isn't set, if a data list is set and the corresponding index list is unset (unless all index lists are unset or in USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY format), if StripCounts or ContourCounts is inconsistent with the current primitive, if the sum of the contourCounts array doesn't equal the length of the StripCounts array, or if the number of vertices isn't a multiple of three (for triangles) or four (for quads).
