Constructor Detail

Cylinder

public Cylinder(int lod,
                boolean cap)
Constructs the mesh of a unit cylinder at the given level of detail.

Parameters:
lod - The level of detail. At minimum level 0 the cylinder has 16 faces.
cap - Determines whether the cylinder is capped (closed) or open.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If lod is less than 0.
Method Detail

render

public java.util.Vector<javax.vecmath.Point3f> render(javax.vecmath.Point3f p0,
                                                      float r0,
                                                      javax.vecmath.Point3f p1,
                                                      float r1)
Returns a copy of the cylinder mesh with given base and end position and correponding radii.

Parameters:
p0 - The center position of the cylinder base.
r0 - The radius of the cylinder base.
p1 - The center position of the cylinder end.
r1 - The radius of the cylinder end.
Returns:
A new Vector<Point3f> object containing the triangles of the cylinder mesh. Each vector element is one vertex of the mesh and each successive three elements constitute one triangle. For memory efficiency, vertices are shared between adjacent triangles. That is, the corresponding Point3f elements are handles of the same object.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If r0 or r1 is less than 0.
