public abstract class Particles
extends javax.media.j3d.Shape3D

This is the base class for the particle classes. Here only some definitions are done.

Field Detail

ENABLE_APPEARANCE_MODIFY

public static final int ENABLE_APPEARANCE_MODIFY

This flag specifies that the objects appearance has to be read- and writeable also after compilation. It causes this class to set the required capability bits for the underlying Shape3D

Method Detail

getParticleBehavior

public abstract javax.media.j3d.Behavior getParticleBehavior()

Returns an Behaviour object. This object has to be attached to a branch group the generated particle object was attached too to let the particle calculation start. Otherwise the Particle object doesn't works like expected.
