Class PickIntersection

java.lang.Object
com.sun.j3d.utils.pickfast.PickIntersection

public class PickIntersection extends Object
Holds information about an intersection of a PickShape with a Node as part of a PickInfo.IntersectionInfo. Information about the intersected geometry, intersected primitive, intersection point, and closest vertex can be inquired.

The intersected primitive indicates which primitive out of the GeometryArray was intersected (where the primitive is a point, line, triangle or quad, not a com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.Primitive). For example, the intersection would indicate which triangle out of a triangle strip was intersected. The methods which return primitive data will have one value if the primitive is a point, two values if the primitive is a line, three values if the primitive is a triangle and four values if the primitive is quad.

The primitive's VWorld coordinates are saved when then intersection is calculated. The local coordinates, normal, color and texture coordinates for the primitive can also be inquired if they are present and readable.

The intersection point is the location on the primitive which intersects the pick shape closest to the center of the pick shape. The intersection point's location in VWorld coordinates is saved when the intersection is calculated. The local coordinates, normal, color and texture coordiantes of at the intersection can be interpolated if they are present and readable.

The closest vertex is the vertex of the primitive closest to the intersection point. The vertex index, VWorld coordinates and local coordinates of the closest vertex can be inquired. The normal, color and texture coordinate of the closest vertex can be inquired from the geometry array:

      Vector3f getNormal(PickIntersection pi, int vertexIndex) {
          int index;
          Vector3d normal = new Vector3f();
          GeometryArray ga = pickIntersection.getGeometryArray();
          if (pickIntersection.geometryIsIndexed()) {
              index = ga.getNormalIndex(vertexIndex);
          } else {
              index = vertexIndex;
          }
          ga.getNormal(index, normal);
          return normal;
      }
 

The color, normal and texture coordinate information for the intersected primitive and the intersection point can be inquired the geometry includes them and the corresponding READ capibility bits are set.
