public class VJRender

extends VJRenderer

VJRender class. This subclass of VJRenderer implements the standard classical renderer, and implements polymorphic object-ordered volume rendering.
It implements Phong type gradient interpolation (i.e. the gradients are interpolated at the surface), which is superior over Gouraud shading and does'nt make much difference in speed. Note that the of shading can be anything including Phong shading. Copyright (c) 1999-2002, Michael Abramoff. All rights reserved.

Constructor Detail

VJRender

public VJRender(VJInterpolator interpolator,
                VJShader shader,
                VJClassifier classifier)
         throws java.lang.Exception

Create a new classic renderer with specified methods.

Parameters:

interpolator - the interpolator that will interpolate VJValues from the voluem to be rendered.

shader - the VJShader that will be used for shading.

classifier - the VJClassifier that will be used for classifying.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if parameters not properly defined.

Method Detail

run

public void run()

Objectspace rendering method. Renders v as an image. The type of image depends on the capabilities of the classifier , that is inherited from VJRenderer. This is a general renderer. It can process interpolated voxels of class VJValue, and these voxels are passed to a classifier and a composer. Of course, the VJInterpolator, the VJClassifier, the VJShader and the composer will need to be able to produce and process the needed type of VJValue. Voxels can be scalars or indexed scalars (implemented here). For more sophisticated voxels, such as vectors, including flow vectors this class can be subclassed as needed. Class variables are all inherited from VJRenderer

Overrides:

run in class VJRenderer

blendCompose

protected void blendCompose(VJAlphaColor pixel,
                            VJValue value,
                            VJGradient g,
                            VJAlphaColor color,
                            VJShade shade)

Compose the classified voxel color into pixel. Link to VJAlphaColor.blendComposeScalar() so that this method can be overloaded.

Parameters:

pixel - contains the current composite

value - contains the current voxel (needed by some subclasses).

gradient - the interpolated gradient for shading

color - contains the alpha value and color (grayscale or RGB) of the classified value.

shade - is the effect of shading.
