Interface ICameraController

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArcBallCameraController, BasicCameraController, CenteredCameraController, FPSCameraController, TopDownCameraController, TurntableCameraController

public interface ICameraController

CameraControllers manage an ICamera, handling the process of moving the camera and registering with the scene to detect user interaction.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	pitchCamera(double radians) Change the camera's pitch, its rotation about the axis perpendicular to its heading to the right, controlling how it is pointed in an up/down direction.
void	raiseCamera(double distance) Move the camera to the up or down, orthogonal to the direction it is pointing.
void	reset() Resets the camera to its default position.
void	rollCamera(double radians) Change the camera's roll, it's rotation about the axis it is pointing.
void	setDefaultAngle(double x, double y, double z) Set the default angle for the camera.
void	strafeCamera(double distance) Move the camera to the left or right, orthogonal to the direction it is pointing.
void	thrustCamera(double distance) Move the camera forward or backwards in the direction it is pointing.
void	yawCamera(double radians) Change the camera's yaw, its rotation about the axis perpendicular to its heading in to the above, controlling how it is pointed in a left/right direction.

Method Detail

pitchCamera

void pitchCamera(double radians)

Change the camera's pitch, its rotation about the axis perpendicular to its heading to the right, controlling how it is pointed in an up/down direction.

Parameters:

radians - The number of radians by which to rotate the camera.

setDefaultAngle

void setDefaultAngle(double x,
                     double y,
                     double z)

Set the default angle for the camera. This will be used when reset() is called.

Parameters:

x - The number of degrees of X axis rotation.

y - The number of degrees of Y axis rotation.

z - The number of degrees of Z axis rotation.

rollCamera

void rollCamera(double radians)

Change the camera's roll, it's rotation about the axis it is pointing.

Parameters:

radians - The number of radians by which to rotate the camera.

raiseCamera

void raiseCamera(double distance)

Move the camera to the up or down, orthogonal to the direction it is pointing.

Parameters:

distance - The amount of space to move the camera. Positive distances move the camera up, negative distances move it down.

strafeCamera

void strafeCamera(double distance)

Move the camera to the left or right, orthogonal to the direction it is pointing.

Parameters:

distance - The amount of space to move the camera. Positive distances move the camera right, negative distances move it left.

thrustCamera

void thrustCamera(double distance)

Move the camera forward or backwards in the direction it is pointing.

Parameters:

distance - The amount of space to move the camera. Positive distances move the camera forward, negative distances move it backwards.

yawCamera

void yawCamera(double radians)

Change the camera's yaw, its rotation about the axis perpendicular to its heading in to the above, controlling how it is pointed in a left/right direction.

Parameters:

radians - The number of radians by which to rotate the camera.

reset

void reset()

Resets the camera to its default position.
