Class NRUniverse
- All Implemented Interfaces:
BrowserCore
,EventModelInitListener
Apart from the VirtualUniverse, this also holds all of the view information model.
The universe is responsible for handling the management of the viewpoints within a scene. VRML defines a single viewpoint model for multiple canvases. If we want to set this environment up for stereo rendering or CAVE type environments, the renderer will need to use a single view for all of them. If you are trying to perform multiple views of the scene graph, such as an editor environment, this universe is not suitable as it uses a single View object and attaches all canvases to that view and hence the underlying currently bound viewpoint.
The universe is not responsible for loading more VRML content. To handle anchors, it delegates to the supplied listener.

Construct a default, empty universe that contains no scene graph.- Parameters:
eme
- The event model evaluation processor
-
-
Method Details
-
worldInitComplete
public void worldInitComplete()Notification from the event model evaluator that the initialization phase is now complete. Use this to send off the external Browser init event.- Specified by:
worldInitComplete
in interfaceEventModelInitListener
-
changeWorld
public void changeWorld()Notification that its safe to clear the world. The underlying rendering layer should now be cleared and loaded with the world.- Specified by:
changeWorld
in interfaceEventModelInitListener
-
getRendererType
public int getRendererType()Get the type of renderer that implements the browser core. The only valid values returned are the constants in this interface.- Specified by:
getRendererType
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The renderer type
-
getIDString
Get the ID string for this renderer.- Specified by:
getIDString
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The String token for this renderer.
-
setErrorReporter
public void setErrorReporter(org.j3d.util.ErrorReporter reporter) Register an error reporter with the engine so that any errors generated by the loading of script code can be reported in a nice, pretty fashion. Setting a value of null will clear the currently set reporter. If one is already set, the new value replaces the old.- Specified by:
setErrorReporter
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
reporter
- The instance to use or null
-
setRenderingStyle
Change the rendering style that the browser should currently be using for all layers. Various options are available based on the constants defined in this interface.- Specified by:
setRenderingStyle
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
style
- One of the RENDER_* constants- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- A style constant that is not recognized by the implementation was provided
-
getRenderingStyle
public int getRenderingStyle()Get the currently set rendering style. The default style is RENDER_SHADED.- Specified by:
getRenderingStyle
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- one of the RENDER_ constants
-
setMinimumFrameInterval
public void setMinimumFrameInterval(int millis, boolean userSet) Set the minimum frame interval time to limit the CPU resources taken up by the 3D renderer. By default it will use all of them. The second parameter is used to control whether this is a user-set hard minimum or something set by the browser internals. User set values are always treated as the minimum unless the browser internals set a value that is a slower framerate than the user set. If the browser then sets a faster framerate than the user set value, the user value is used instead.- Specified by:
setMinimumFrameInterval
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
millis
- The minimum time in milliseconds.userSet
- true if this is an end-user set minimum
-
getMinimumFrameInterval
public int getMinimumFrameInterval()Get the currently set minimum frame cycle interval. Note that this is the minimum interval, not the actual frame rate. Heavy content loads can easily drag this down below the max frame rate that this will generate.- Specified by:
getMinimumFrameInterval
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The cycle interval time in milliseconds
-
getVRMLClock
Get the clock instance in use by the core. We need this for when new nodes are added to the scene to make sure they are all appropriately configured.- Specified by:
getVRMLClock
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The clock used by the browser core
-
getDEFMappings
Get the mapping of DEF names to the node instances that they represent. Primarily used for the EAI functionality. The map instance changes each time a new world is loaded so will need to be re-fetched. If no mappings are available (eg scripting replaceWorld() type call) then the map will be empty.- Specified by:
getDEFMappings
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The current mapping of DEF names to node instances
-
getWorldExecutionSpace
Convenience method to ask for the execution space that the world is currently operating in. Sometimes this is not known, particularly if the end user has called a loadURL type function that is asynchronous. This will change each time a new scene is loaded.- Specified by:
getWorldExecutionSpace
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The current world execution space.
-
getDescription
Get the description string currently used by the world. Returns null if not set or supported.- Specified by:
getDescription
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The current description string or null
-
setDescription
Set the description of the current world. If the world is operating as part of a web browser then it shall attempt to set the title of the window. If the browser is from a component then the result is dependent on the implementation- Specified by:
setDescription
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
desc
- The description string to set.
-
getCurrentSpeed
public float getCurrentSpeed()Get the current velocity of the bound viewpoint in meters per second. The velocity is defined in terms of the world values, not the local coordinate system of the viewpoint.- Specified by:
getCurrentSpeed
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The velocity in m/s or 0.0 if not supported
-
getCurrentFrameRate
public float getCurrentFrameRate()Get the current frame rate of the browser in frames per second.- Specified by:
getCurrentFrameRate
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- The current frame rate or 0.0 if not supported

setLastRenderTime
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
lastTime
- The time it took to render the last frame in milliseconds.
-
setEventModelStatusListener

addNodeObserver
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
nodeType
- The type identifier of the node being observedobs
- The observer instance to add

dispose
in interfaceBrowserCore
-
getWorldURL
Get the fully qualified URL of the currently loaded world. This returns the entire URL including any possible arguments that might be associated with a CGI call or similar mechanism. If the initial world is replaced withloadURL
then the string will reflect the new URL. IfreplaceWorld
is called then the URL still represents the original world.- Specified by:
getWorldURL
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Returns:
- A string of the URL or null if not supported.
-
setScene
Set the scene to use within this universe. If null, this will clear this scene and de-register all listeners. The View will be detached from the ViewPlatform and therefore the canvas will go blank.- Specified by:
setScene
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
scene
- The new scene to load, or nullviewpoint
- The viewpoint.description to bind to or null for default
-
changeViewpoint
Request that this viewpoint object is bound at the start of the next frame.

changeViewpoint
in interfaceBrowserCore
- Parameters:
vp
- The new viewpoint instance to bind to
-
