public abstract class AbstractBox
extends Mesh

An eight sided box.

A Box is defined by a minimal point and a maximal point. The eight vertices that make the box are then computed, they are computed in such a way as to generate an axis-aligned box.

This class does not control how the geometry data is generated, see Box for that.

Method Detail

computeVertices

protected final Vector3f[] computeVertices()

Gets the array or vectors representing the 8 vertices of the box.

Returns:

a newly created array of vertex vectors.

doUpdateGeometryIndices

protected abstract void doUpdateGeometryIndices()

Convert the indices into the list of vertices that define the box's geometry.

doUpdateGeometryNormals

protected abstract void doUpdateGeometryNormals()

Update the normals of each of the box's planes.

doUpdateGeometryTextures

protected abstract void doUpdateGeometryTextures()

Update the points that define the texture of the box.

It's a one-to-one ratio, where each plane of the box has its own copy of the texture. That is, the texture is repeated one time for each face.

doUpdateGeometryVertices

protected abstract void doUpdateGeometryVertices()

Update the position of the vertices that define the box.

These eight points are determined from the minimum and maximum point.

getCenter

public final Vector3f getCenter()

Get the center point of this box.

getXExtent

public final float getXExtent()

Get the x-axis size (extent) of this box.

getYExtent

public final float getYExtent()

Get the y-axis size (extent) of this box.

getZExtent

public final float getZExtent()

Get the z-axis size (extent) of this box.

updateGeometry

public final void updateGeometry()

Rebuilds the box after a property has been directly altered.

For example, if you call getXExtent().x = 5.0f then you will need to call this method afterwards in order to update the box.

updateGeometry

public final void updateGeometry(Vector3f center,
                                 float x,
                                 float y,
                                 float z)

Rebuilds this box based on a new set of parameters.

Note that the actual sides will be twice the given extent values because the box extends in both directions from the center for each extent.

Parameters:

center - the center of the box.

x - the x extent of the box, in each directions.

y - the y extent of the box, in each directions.

z - the z extent of the box, in each directions.

updateGeometry

public final void updateGeometry(Vector3f minPoint,
                                 Vector3f maxPoint)

Rebuilds this box based on a new set of parameters.

The box is updated so that the two opposite corners are minPoint and maxPoint, the other corners are created from those two positions.

Parameters:

minPoint - the new minimum point of the box.

maxPoint - the new maximum point of the box.
