Class SphereShapingRule

java.lang.Object
  net.algart.model3d.common.movement.view.SphereShapingRule

All Implemented Interfaces:

ShapingRule

public class SphereShapingRule
extends java.lang.Object
implements ShapingRule

Shaping rule, which converts a sperical item to a drawable 3D sphere.

More precisely, in this class:

• isApplicable(Object item) method returns true if and only if item instanceof Spherical and both its methods isNaN() and isInfinite() returns false (i.e. it is a normal finite sphere);
• getShape(Object item) returns the sphere
      new Sphere3D(centerX,centerY,centerZ,radius),
  where centerX, centerY, centerZ, radius are the corresponding parameters of the given spherical item (Spherical)item.

This class is immutable and thread-safe: there are no ways to modify settings of the created instance.

SphereShapingRule

public SphereShapingRule()

isApplicable

public boolean isApplicable(java.lang.Object item)

Description copied from interface: ShapingRule

Checks whether this shaping rule is applicable to the given object (item), i.e. this shaping rule "knows" which 3D shape describes this object. If this method returns false, you should not call ShapingRule.getShape(Object) method of this interface for this object: it can throw an exception. If this method returns true, you can freely use ShapingRule.getShape(Object) method.

If this method returns false for the given item for all shaping rules, available in Drawer3D object, and if this item does not implement Shape3D interface itself, then this item is not drawn by the Drawer3D.draw(java.util.Collection) method.

The argument of this method can be null; in this case, this method returns false.

Specified by:

isApplicable in interface ShapingRule

Parameters:

item - the object which you want to draw; can be null, then this method returns false.

Returns:

true if this shaping rule can be used for this item.

getShape

public Shape3D getShape(java.lang.Object item)

Description copied from interface: ShapingRule

Returns the newly created shape of the specified 3D object. If ShapingRule.isApplicable(Object) returns false, this method usually throws ClassCastException, but other runtime exceptions are also possible.

Specified by:

getShape in interface ShapingRule

Parameters:

item - some 3D object.

Returns:

shape of this item.
