Constructor Detail

PickRay

public PickRay()

Constructs an empty PickRay. The origin and direction of the ray are initialized to (0,0,0).

PickRay

public PickRay(Point3d origin,
       Vector3d direction)

Constructs an infinite ray pick shape from the specified parameters.

Parameters:

origin - the origin of the ray.

direction - the direction of the ray.

Method Detail

set

public void set(Point3d origin,
       Vector3d direction)

Sets the parameters of this PickRay to the specified values.

Parameters:

origin - the origin of the ray.

direction - the direction of the ray.

get

public void get(Point3d origin,
       Vector3d direction)

Retrieves the parameters from this PickRay.

Parameters:

origin - the Point3d object into which the origin will be copied.

direction - the Vector3d object into which the direction will be copied.

intersect

final boolean intersect(Bounds bounds,
                Point4d pickPos)

Return true if shape intersect with bounds. The point of intersection is stored in pickPos.
