Class TransparencyInterpolator
There are two forms of constructor to specify the type of transparency interpolation. The first constructor takes an Alpha and a TransparencyAttributes object and creates a transparency interpolator that maps an Alpha value of 1.0 to a transparency value of 1.0, and an Alpha value of 0.0 and maps it to a transparency value of 0.0. The second constructor takes an Alpha, a TransparencyAttributes object, a minimum transparency value and a maximum transparency value. This constructor provides more flexibility by specifying how the Alpha values are mapped to the transparency values - an Alpha of 1.0 maps to the maximum transparency value and an Alpha of 0.0 maps to the minimum transparency value.

Constructor Details
-
TransparencyInterpolator
Constructs a trivial transparency interpolator with a specified target, a minimum transparency of 0.0f and a maximum transparency of 1.0f.- Parameters:
alpha
- the alpha object for this interpolatortarget
- the TransparencyAttributes component object affected by this interpolator
-
TransparencyInterpolator
public TransparencyInterpolator(Alpha alpha, TransparencyAttributes target, float minimumTransparency, float maximumTransparency) Constructs a new transparency interpolator that varies the target material's transparency between the two transparency values.- Parameters:
alpha
- the alpha object for this Interpolatortarget
- the TransparencyAttributes component object affected by this interpolatorminimumTransparency
- the starting transparencymaximumTransparency
- the ending transparency
-
-
Method Details
-
setMinimumTransparency
public void setMinimumTransparency(float transparency) This method sets the minimumTransparency for this interpolator.- Parameters:
transparency
- the new minimum transparency
-
getMinimumTransparency
public float getMinimumTransparency()This method retrieves this interpolator's minimumTransparency.- Returns:
- the interpolator's minimum transparency value
-
setMaximumTransparency
public void setMaximumTransparency(float transparency) This method sets the maximumTransparency for this interpolator.- Parameters:
transparency
- the new maximum transparency
-
getMaximumTransparency
public float getMaximumTransparency()This method retrieves this interpolator's maximumTransparency.- Returns:
- the interpolator's maximal transparency vslue
-
setTarget
This method sets the target TransparencyAttributes object for this interpolator.- Parameters:
target
- the target TransparencyAttributes object
-
getTarget
This method retrieves this interpolator's target reference.- Returns:
- the interpolator's target TransparencyAttributes object
-
processStimulus
This method is invoked by the behavior scheduler every frame. It maps the alpha value that corresponds to the current time into a transparency value and updates the specified TransparencyAttributes object with this new transparency value.- Specified by:
processStimulus
in classBehavior
- Parameters:
criteria
- an enumeration of the criteria that caused the stimulus
-
cloneNode
Used to create a new instance of the node. This routine is called bycloneTree
to duplicate the current node. -
updateNodeReferences
Callback used to allow a node to check if any nodes referenced by that node have been duplicated via a call tocloneTree
. This method is called bycloneTree
after all nodes in the sub-graph have been duplicated. The cloned Leaf node's method will be called and the Leaf node can then look up any node references by using thegetNewObjectReference
method found in theNodeReferenceTable
object. If a match is found, a reference to the corresponding Node in the newly cloned sub-graph is returned. If no corresponding reference is found, either a DanglingReferenceException is thrown or a reference to the original node is returned depending on the value of theallowDanglingReferences
parameter passed in thecloneTree
call.NOTE: Applications should not call this method directly. It should only be called by the cloneTree method.
- Overrides:
updateNodeReferences
in classBehavior
- Parameters:
referenceTable
- a NodeReferenceTableObject that contains thegetNewObjectReference
method needed to search for new object instances.- See Also:
