  +--edu.umd.cs.jazz.util.ZUtil

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ZUtil

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

ZUtil provides some generic, useful routines.

Warning: Serialized and ZSerialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Jazz releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Jazz. A future release of Jazz will provide support for long term persistence.

createThumbnailImage

public static java.awt.image.BufferedImage createThumbnailImage(ZNode node,
                                                                java.awt.Dimension thumbnailSize)

Returns a BufferedImage of thumbnailSize with the node rendered into the image. The node is scaled to fit within the image without changing its aspect ratio.

NOTE: ZSceneGraphObjects that access the ZDrawingSurface or ZCamera in their render method without checking for null values will throw exceptions when passed to this method.

Contributed by Philippe Converset.

Parameters:

node - The node to render.

thumbnailSize - The size of the resulting BufferedImage.

Returns:

BufferedImage The image with the node rendered into it.

transformDimension

public static double transformDimension(java.awt.geom.Dimension2D aDimension,
                                        java.awt.geom.AffineTransform aTransform)

Modify the dimension paramater by applying the the given transform.

Parameters:

aDimension - the dimension to which the transform will be applied.

aTransform - the transform that will be applied to the dimension.

Returns:

dz The change in scale from applying aTransform.

inverseTransformDimension

public static double inverseTransformDimension(java.awt.geom.Dimension2D aDimension,
                                               java.awt.geom.AffineTransform aTransform)
                                        throws java.awt.geom.NoninvertibleTransformException

Modify the dimension paramater by applying the inverse of the given transform.

Parameters:

aDimension - the dimension to which the inverse transform will be applied.

aTransform - the transform who's inverse will be applied to the dimension.

Returns:

dz The change in scale from applying aTransform.

java.awt.geom.NoninvertibleTransformException

inverseTransformRectangle

public static double inverseTransformRectangle(java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D aRectangle,
                                               java.awt.geom.AffineTransform aTransform)
                                        throws java.awt.geom.NoninvertibleTransformException

Modify the aRectangle paramater by applying the inverse of the given transform. This method works without creating a new transform object so it should be more efficient then calling aTransform.createInverseTransform() and applying that result to the rectangle.

Parameters:

aRectangle - the rectangle to which the inverse transform will be applied.

aTransform - the transform who's inverse will be applied to the size.

Returns:

dz The change in scale from applying aTransform.
