               Texture txt)

getDistanceFrom

public double getDistanceFrom(Ray ray)

Description copied from interface: Surface

Returns the ``distance'' at which the surface is located along the given ray, or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if in fact the ray doesn't intersect the surface at all. The ray will start from some point (x,y) and have some direction (dx,dy). If the returned value d is finite, it should be a positive value for which (x + d * dx, y + d * dy) lies on this surface.

Specified by:

getDistanceFrom in interface Surface

Parameters:

ray - the ray to look along in determining the distance.

Returns:

a positive number if the ray intersects with this surface, or Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY if it does not.

getNormal

public Ray getNormal(double px,
                     double py)

Description copied from interface: Surface

Returns the ray normal to the surface at the given coordinates. The parameter coordinates are assumed to represent a point on the surface. The returned ray should be based on the given coordinates, and its direction should be perpendicular to the tangent of the surface at this point. The returned direction can be either of the possible perpendicular unit directions (which are negations of each other).

Specified by:

getNormal in interface Surface

Parameters:

px - the x-coordinate of the point in question.

py - the y-coordinate of the point in question.

Returns:

the ray normal to the surface at the requested point.

getTextureColumn

public TextureColumn getTextureColumn(double x,
                                      double y)

Description copied from interface: Surface

Returns the column of texture that appears on this surface at the given point. At the given coordinates is a vertical strip of this vertical surface, and the returned TextureColumn contains information about how to draw that vertical strip. The given coordinates are assumed to lie on this surface.

Specified by:

getTextureColumn in interface Surface

Parameters:

x - the x-coordinate of the point on the surface.

y - the y-coordinate of the point on the surface.

Returns:

a TextureColumn containing information about how to draw the vertical strip of the surface at this location.

getBounds

public Bounds getBounds()

Description copied from interface: Surface

Returns a bounding box describing the range of x- and y-coordinates occupied by the surface.

Specified by:

getBounds in interface Surface

Returns:

the bounding box

draw

public void draw(java.awt.Graphics g,
                 double dx,
                 double dy,
                 double sx,
                 double sy)

Description copied from interface: Surface

Draws an overhead view of this surface. This will involve mapping the surface's actual coordinates to the drawing space's coordinates. The mapping is described by the sx and sy scaling factors and the dx and dy offsets. For example, an x-coordinate of x will map to the pixel at dx + sx * x.

Specified by:

draw in interface Surface

Parameters:

g - the Graphics object with which to draw.

dx - the x-coordinate offset for drawing space.

dy - the y-coordinate offset for drawing space.

sx - the x-coordinate scaling factor for mapping from world space to drawing space.

sy - the y-coordinate scaling factor from mapping from world space to drawing space.
