Method Detail

forward

void forward(float distance)

Move forward

Parameters:

distance - Distance to move, negative value means backwards

turn

void turn(float angle)

Turn left/right

Parameters:

angle - Angle in degrees, negative means left

roll

void roll(float angle)

Roll left/right

Parameters:

angle - Angle in degrees, negative means left

pitch

void pitch(float angle)

Pitch down/up

Parameters:

angle - Angle in degrees, negative means down

push

void push()

Push actual transformation to the stack

pop

void pop()

Pop transformation from the stack and make it actual one

getTransformMatrix

javax.vecmath.Matrix4f getTransformMatrix()

Get turtle's actual tranformation matrix as a copy.

Returns:

4x4 transform matrix

getDepth

int getDepth()

Depth reached by turtle. Each forward command rises depth by one. Depth is pushed and popped too.

Returns:

depth

getMaximalDepth

int getMaximalDepth()

Maximal depth reached by turtle.

Returns:

Maximal depth reached by turtle

transform

void transform(javax.vecmath.Matrix4f matrix)

Tranform turtle's position

Parameters:

matrix - 4x4 transform matrix

scale

void scale(float x,
           float y,
           float z)

Scale turtle

Parameters:

x - scale axis x

y - scale axis y

z - scale axis z
