Constructor Detail

KBSplinePathInterpolator

public KBSplinePathInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                                KBKeyFrame[] keys)
Deprecated. As of Java 3D version 1.3, replaced by KBSplinePathInterpolator(Alpha, TransformGroup, TCBKeyFrame[])


KBSplinePathInterpolator

public KBSplinePathInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                                TransformGroup target,
                                KBKeyFrame[] keys)
Constructs a new KBSplinePathInterpolator object that interpolates between keyframes with specified alpha, target and an default axisOfTranform set to identity. It takes at least two key frames. The first key frame's knot must have a value of 0.0 and the last knot must have a value of 1.0. An intermediate key frame with index k must have a knot value strictly greater than the knot value of a key frame with index less than k. Once this constructor has all the valid key frames it creates its own list of key fames that duplicates the first key frame at the beginning of the list and the last key frame at the end of the list.

Parameters:
alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator
target - the TransformGroup node affected by this interpolator
keys - an array of KBKeyFrame. Requires at least two key frames.
Since:
Java 3D 1.3

KBSplinePathInterpolator

public KBSplinePathInterpolator(Alpha alpha,
                                TransformGroup target,
                                Transform3D axisOfTransform,
                                KBKeyFrame[] keys)
Constructs a new KBSplinePathInterpolator object that interpolates between keyframes with specified alpha, target and axisOfTransform. It takes at least two key frames. The first key frame's knot must have a value of 0.0 and the last knot must have a value of 1.0. An intermediate key frame with index k must have a knot value strictly greater than the knot value of a key frame with index less than k. Once this constructor has all the valid key frames it creates its own list of key fames that duplicates the first key frame at the beginning of the list and the last key frame at the end of the list.

Parameters:
alpha - the alpha object for this interpolator
target - the TransformGroup node affected by this interpolator
axisOfTransform - the transform that defines the local coordinate
keys - an array of KBKeyFrame. Requires at least two key frames
Since:
Java 3D 1.3
Method Detail

getArrayLength

public int getArrayLength()
This method retrieves the length of the key frame array.

Returns:
the number of key frames

getKeyFrame

public KBKeyFrame getKeyFrame(int index)
This method retrieves the key frame at the specified index.

Parameters:
index - the index of the key frame requested
Returns:
the key frame at the associated index

setKeyFrame

public void setKeyFrame(int index,
                        KBKeyFrame keyFrame)
Set the key frame at the specified index to keyFrame

Parameters:
index - Index of the key frame to change
keyFrame - The new key frame
Since:
Java 3D 1.3

setKeyFrames

public void setKeyFrames(KBKeyFrame[] keyFrames)
Set allthe key frames

Parameters:
keyFrames - The new key frame
Since:
Java 3D 1.3

computePathInterpolation

protected void computePathInterpolation()
Deprecated. As of Java 3D version 1.3, replaced by computePathInterpolation(float)


computePathInterpolation

protected void computePathInterpolation(float alphaValue)
This method computes the bounding knot indices and interpolation value "CurrentU" given the current value of the knots[] array and the specified alpha value

Parameters:
alphaValue - alpha value between 0.0 and 1.0
Since:
Java 3D 1.3

duplicateNode

public void duplicateNode(Node originalNode,
                          boolean forceDuplicate)
Copies all KBSplinePathInterpolator information from originalNode into the current node. This method is called from the cloneNode method which is, in turn, called by the cloneTree method.

Overrides:
duplicateNode in class Node
Parameters:
originalNode - the original node to duplicate.
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.
Throws:
RestrictedAccessException - if this object is part of a live or compiled scenegraph.
