Package com.jme3.renderer

The com.jme3.renderer package provides classes responsible for rendering.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Renderer	The Renderer is responsible for taking rendering commands and executing them on the underlying video hardware.

Class Summary

Class	Description
Camera	Camera is a standalone, purely mathematical class for doing camera-related computations.
IDList	A specialized data-structure used to optimize state changes of "slot" based state.
RenderContext	Represents the current state of the graphics library.
RenderManager	RenderManager is a high-level rendering interface that is above the Renderer implementation.
Statistics	The statistics class allows tracking of real-time rendering statistics.
ViewPort	A ViewPort represents a view inside the display window or a FrameBuffer to which scenes will be rendered.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Camera.FrustumIntersect	The FrustumIntersect enum is returned as a result of a culling check operation, see Camera.contains(com.jme3.bounding.BoundingVolume)
Caps	Caps is an enum specifying a capability that the Renderer supports.
Limits	Limits allows querying the limits of certain features in Renderer.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
RendererException	RendererException is raised when a renderer encounters a fatal rendering error.
TextureUnitException	A checked exception, to be thrown (in place of an IndexOutOfBoundsException) when a non-existent texture unit is assigned.

Package com.jme3.renderer Description

The com.jme3.renderer package provides classes responsible for rendering.

The most critical classes are the Renderer, which is the low-level rendering implementation and is abstract, and the RenderManager class, which provides the high-level rendering logic on top of the Renderer.

To accompany rendering, several helper classes are available.

• The Camera is used to specify the point-of-view from which scenes are rendered.
• The ViewPort is the aggregation of a Camera and a set of scenes which are to be rendered, as well as additional info.
• The Caps class contains renderer capabilities which the user can query to find out what features are available in the rendering implementation.
• The Statistics class is updated in real time by the Renderer, and is used to find out various statistics about the rendering
• The NativeObjectManager and NativeObject classes provide a link between the renderer's native objects and Java's garbage collected objects, allowing the engine to track when the Java object counterpart is garbage collected and then delete the native object counterpart from the renderer.
