Field Detail

type

public int type

elements

public RGeomElem[] elements

Array of RGeomElem objects holding the elements of the group. When accessing theses elements we must cast them to their class in order to get all the functionalities of each representation. e.g. RShape s = group.elements[i].toShape() If the element cannot be converted to the target class it will throw a RuntimeException, to ignore these, use try-catch syntax.

Constructor Detail

RGroup

public RGroup()

Use this method to create a new empty group.

RGroup

public RGroup(RGroup grp)

Use this method to create a copy of a group.

Method Detail

getCentroid

public RPoint getCentroid()

Use this method to get the centroid of the element.

Overrides:

getCentroid in class RGeomElem

Returns:

RPoint, the centroid point of the element

countElements

public int countElements()

Use this method to count the number of elements in the group.

Returns:

int, the number elements in the group.

print

public void print()

Overrides:

print in class RGeomElem

draw

public void draw(processing.core.PGraphics g)

Use this method to draw the group. This will draw each element at a time, without worrying about intersections or holes. This is the main difference between having a shape with multiple paths and having a group with multiple shapes.

Specified by:

draw in class RGeomElem

Parameters:

g - PGraphics, the graphics object on which to draw the group

draw

public void draw(processing.core.PApplet a)

Specified by:

draw in class RGeomElem

addElement

public void addElement(RGeomElem elem)

Use this method to add a new element.

Parameters:

elem - RGeomElem, any kind of RGeomElem to add. It accepts the classes RShape, RPolygon and RMesh.

addGroup

public void addGroup(RGroup grupo)

Use this method to add a new element.

Parameters:

grupo - RGroup, A group of elements to add to this group.

removeElement

public void removeElement(int i)
                   throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Use this method to remove an element.

Parameters:

i - int, the index of the element to remove from the group.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

toMeshGroup

public RGroup toMeshGroup()
                   throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Use this method to get a new group whose elements are the corresponding Meshes of the elemnts in the current group. This can be used for increasing performance in exchange of losing abstraction.

Returns:

RGroup, the new group made of RMeshes

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

toPolygonGroup

public RGroup toPolygonGroup()
                      throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Use this method to get a new group whose elements are the corresponding Polygons of the elemnts in the current group. At this moment there is no implementation for transforming aMesh to a Polygon so applying this method to groups holding Mesh elements will generate an exception.

Returns:

RGroup, the new group made of RPolygons

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

toShapeGroup

public RGroup toShapeGroup()
                    throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Use this method to get a new group whose elements are all the corresponding Shapes of the elemnts in the current group. At this moment there is no implementation for transforming a Mesh or a Polygon to a Shape so applying this method to groups holding Mesh or Polygon elements will generate an exception.

Returns:

RGroup, the new group made of RShapes

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

toMesh

public RMesh toMesh()
             throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Overrides:

toMesh in class RGeomElem

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException

                   throws java.lang.RuntimeException

Overrides:

toPolygon in class RGeomElem

Throws:
