public ViewNode(ActiveNode parent)

Method Detail

getActions

public java.util.List getActions()

Description copied from class: ActiveNode

Returns a list of possible actions on this node. Actions may be classified by categories using the "|" separator. Ex: a transform node may have the following actions: "Rotate|90° on X", "Rotate|180° on X", etc...

Overrides:

getActions in class ActiveNode

Returns:

an array of possible actions, or a null or empty array if this node doesn't handle any action

doAction

public void doAction(java.lang.Object action)

Description copied from class: ActiveNode

When the user has selected an action in the list return by getActions(), this method is called. The node should then do what it claims.

Overrides:

doAction in class ActiveNode

Parameters:

action - An action previously declared by the getActions method.

getIcon

public javax.swing.Icon getIcon()

Description copied from class: ActiveNode

Utility method to specialize the swing tree renderer. Give a look to your node, don't let it anonymous!

Overrides:

getIcon in class ActiveNode

Returns:

an Icon to display in the swing tree. May be shared along a node type class, or may even change according the the state of this node.

restoreReferences

public void restoreReferences(ActiveNode parent)

Description copied from class: ActiveNode

Restore a serialized object to the scene graph. The scene is restored from root to leaf, hierachically. A node can count on its parent beeing successfully deserialized, and its precisely the added value of this method to indicate to this object the parent it should attach to. This node is responsible for re-creating its children if it returned true in the save operation. See description of the saveChildren method. This method is called after this node was successfully de-serialized, to give it an occasion to restore anything it may have to with its parent (listeners, etc...). As with the plugin interface methode create, this method should ensure that the 3D object this nodes refers to is added to its parent children list in the underlying 3D model (Java3D, Xith3D). Default behavior is to set this node's parent field to the given value, but an implementor SHALL do what's necessary for the underlying 3D scene graph.

Overrides:

restoreReferences in class ActiveNode

Parameters:

parent - The active node to attach this one to once it has been successfully de-serialized

saveChildren

public boolean saveChildren()

Description copied from class: ActiveNode

The scene/swing tree is serialized from root to leaf, hierachically. A node can count on its parent beeing successfully serialized, and should not try to save its parent. On the other hand, if it is able to re-create the children upon reload it should return true and this branch is considered done. This is especially useful for nodes loaded from external scene object files. This method is called after the object was successfully serialized, to determine wheter or not continue in this tree branch.

Overrides:

saveChildren in class ActiveNode

Returns:

true if this object handles its children, false if it does not. Default is false
