Interface StaticTerrainData

All Superinterfaces:

HeightDataSource, TerrainData

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractStaticTerrainData, HeightMapTerrainData

public interface StaticTerrainData
extends TerrainData

Terrain data that represents a static collection of information.

A static terrain representation contains points that can all be loaded at setup time. Typically used to represent smaller datasets, this interface provides the representation of the data all at once and assumes a single texture object covers the entire dataset. However, don't forget that Java3D Texture object does allow multi-level mip-mapping within the texture instance.

TerrainData.getSourceDataType() always returns TerrainData.STATIC_DATA.

Method Detail

getTexture

java.awt.image.BufferedImage getTexture()

Fetch the Texture that is used to cover the entire terrain. If no texture is used, then return null. Assumes a single large texture for the entire terrain.

Returns:

The texture instance to use or null

getGridWidth

int getGridWidth()

Get the width (number of points on the Y axis) of the grid.

Returns:

The number of points in the width if the grid

getGridDepth

int getGridDepth()

Get the depth (number of points on the X axis) of the grid.

Returns:

The number of points in the depth of the grid
