Class PickCanvas
java.lang.Object
com.sun.j3d.utils.pickfast.PickTool
com.sun.j3d.utils.pickfast.PickCanvas
A subclass of PickTool, simplifies picking using mouse events from a canvas.
This class allows picking using canvas x,y locations by generating the
appropriate pick shape.
The pick tolerance specifies the distance from the pick center to include in the pick shape. A tolerance of 0.0 may speedup picking slightly, but also make it very difficult to pick points and lines.
The pick canvas can be used to make a series of picks. For example, to initialize the pick canvas:
PickCanvas pickCanvas = new PickCanvas(canvas, scene); pickCanvas.setMode(PickInfo.PICK_GEOMETRY); pickCanvas.setFlags(PickInfo.NODE | PickInfo.CLOSEST_INTERSECTION_POINT); pickCanvas.setTolerance(4.0f);
Then for each mouse event:
pickCanvas.setShapeLocation(mouseEvent); PickInfo[] pickInfos = pickCanvas.pickAll();
NOTE: For the pickAllSorted or pickClosest methods, the picks will be sorted by the distance from the ViewPlatform to the intersection point.

Method Details
-
getCanvas
Inquire the canvas to be used for picking operations.- Returns:
- the canvas.
-
setTolerance
public void setTolerance(float t) Set the picking tolerance. Objects within this distance (in pixels) to the mouse x,y location will be picked. The default tolerance is 2.0.- Parameters:
t
- The tolerance- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the tolerance is less than 0.
-
getTolerance
public float getTolerance()Get the pick tolerance. -
setShapeLocation
Set the pick location. Defines the location on the canvas where the pick is to be performed.- Parameters:
mevent
- The MouseEvent for the picking point
-
setShapeLocation
public void setShapeLocation(int xpos, int ypos) Set the pick location. Defines the location on the canvas where the pick is to be performed (upper left corner of canvas is 0,0).- Parameters:
xpos
- the X position of the picking pointypos
- the Y position of the picking point
