Picking shapes
Using the picking API

  • The Java 3D API divides picking into two portions
  • Control: clicking with a 2D mouse or move a 6DOF wand
  • Selection: finding shapes that meet the search criteria
  • Seperation enables interchangeable interaction methods

  • The API designed for speed
  • Picking only works on bounds
  • Utilities provide more fine-grained pick support
