public class AbstractCompositeShape extends AbstractShape
A composite shape that groups multiple sub-shapes into a single logical unit.

Use AbstractCompositeShape to build complex 3D objects by combining primitive shapes (lines, polygons, textured polygons) into a group that can be positioned, rotated, and manipulated as one entity. Sub-shapes can be organized into named groups for selective visibility toggling.

Usage example - creating a custom composite shape:


 // Create a composite shape at position (0, 0, 200)
 AbstractCompositeShape myObject = new AbstractCompositeShape(
     new Point3D(0, 0, 200)
 );

 // Add sub-shapes
 myObject.addShape(new Line(
     new Point3D(-50, 0, 0), new Point3D(50, 0, 0),
     Color.RED, 2.0
 ));

 // Add shapes to a named group for toggling visibility
 myObject.addShape(labelShape, "labels");
 myObject.hideGroup("labels");  // hide all shapes in "labels" group
 myObject.showGroup("labels");  // show them again

 // Add to scene
 viewPanel.getRootShapeCollection().addShape(myObject);

Level-of-detail slicing:

Textured polygons within the composite shape are automatically sliced into smaller triangles based on distance from the viewer. This provides perspective-correct texture mapping without requiring hardware support. The slicing factor adapts dynamically.

Extending this class:

Override beforeTransformHook(eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.math.TransformStack, eu.svjatoslav.sixth.e3d.gui.RenderingContext) to customize shape appearance or behavior on each frame (e.g., animations, dynamic geometry updates).

    • beforeTransformHook

      public void beforeTransformHook(TransformStack transformPipe, RenderingContext context)
      This method should be overridden by anyone wanting to customize the shape before it is rendered.
      Parameters:

    • getBoundingBox

      public Box getBoundingBox()
      Returns the axis-aligned bounding box encompassing all sub-shapes.

      The bounding box is computed by aggregating the bounds of all visible sub-shapes, then transforming the result by this composite's own transform.

      This is the authoritative list of all sub-shapes including hidden ones. For per-frame rendering, use cachedRenderList instead (accessed internally).

      Returns:
      the registry list of all sub-shapes with their group and visibility metadata
      See Also:
      • the frame-optimized cache derived from this registry

    • setRootComposite

      public void setRootComposite(boolean isRoot)
      Marks this composite as the root scene container.

      Root composites skip LOD-based slice factor checks since their position equals the camera position (distance = 0). They use a fixed slice factor and only reslice when shapes are added, removed, or visibility changes.

      Called by ShapeCollection to configure its root composite.

      Parameters:
      isRoot - true if this is the root composite, false otherwise

    • getTransform

      the transform object

    • setTransform

      public AbstractCompositeShape setTransform(Transform transform)
      Sets the transform for this composite shape.
      Parameters:
      transform - the new transform
      Returns:
      this composite shape (for chaining)

    • setCacheNeedsRebuild

      public void setCacheNeedsRebuild(boolean needsRebuild)
      Sets the cache rebuild flag, forcing cachedRenderList to be regenerated.

      Used by ShapeCollection to trigger reslice when clearing the scene or for other advanced use cases.

      Parameters:
      needsRebuild - true to force cache rebuild on next frame

    • setShadingEnabled

      public AbstractCompositeShape setShadingEnabled(boolean shadingEnabled)
      Enables or disables shading for all SolidTriangle and SolidPolygon sub-shapes. When enabled, shapes use the global lighting manager from the rendering context to calculate flat shading based on light sources.

      Returns:
      this composite shape (for chaining)

      Enables or disables backface culling for all SolidPolygon and TexturedTriangle sub-shapes.
      Parameters:

      Returns:
      this composite shape (for chaining)

    • union

      public void union(AbstractCompositeShape other)
      Performs an in-place union with another composite shape.

      This shape's SolidPolygon children are replaced with the union result. Non-SolidPolygon children from both shapes are preserved and combined.

      CSG Operation: Union combines two shapes into one, keeping all geometry from both. Uses BSP tree algorithms for robust boolean operations.

      Child handling:

      • SolidPolygon children from both shapes → replaced with union result
      • Non-SolidPolygon children from this shape → preserved
      • Non-SolidPolygon children from other shape → added to this shape
      • Nested AbstractCompositeShape children → preserved unchanged (not recursively processed)
      Parameters:
      other - the shape to union with
      See Also:

    • subtract

      public void subtract(AbstractCompositeShape other)
      Performs an in-place subtraction with another composite shape.

      This shape's SolidPolygon children are replaced with the difference result. The other shape acts as a "cutter" that carves out volume from this shape.

      CSG Operation: Subtract removes the volume of the second shape from the first shape. Useful for creating holes, cavities, and cutouts.

      Child handling:

      • SolidPolygon children from this shape → replaced with difference result
      • Non-SolidPolygon children from this shape → preserved
      • All children from other shape → discarded (other is just a cutter)
      • Nested AbstractCompositeShape children → preserved unchanged
      Parameters:
      other - the shape to subtract (the cutter)
      See Also:

    • intersect

      public void intersect(AbstractCompositeShape other)
      Performs an in-place intersection with another composite shape.

      This shape's SolidPolygon children are replaced with the intersection result. Only the overlapping volume between the two shapes remains.

      CSG Operation: Intersect keeps only the volume where both shapes overlap. Useful for creating shapes constrained by multiple boundaries.

      Child handling:

      • SolidPolygon children from this shape → replaced with intersection result
      • Non-SolidPolygon children from this shape → preserved
      • All children from other shape → discarded
      • Nested AbstractCompositeShape children → preserved unchanged
      Parameters:
      other - the shape to intersect with
      See Also:

    • showGroup

      public void showGroup(String groupIdentifier)
      Makes all sub-shapes belonging to the specified group visible.
      Parameters:
      groupIdentifier - the group to show
      See Also:

    • transform

      public void transform(TransformStack transformPipe, RenderAggregator aggregator, RenderingContext context)
      Description copied from class: AbstractShape
      Transforms this shape from world space to screen space and queues it for rendering.

      This method is called once per frame for each shape in the scene. Implementations should apply the current transform stack to their vertices, compute screen-space coordinates, and if the shape is visible, add it to the RenderAggregator for depth-sorted painting.

      Specified by:
      transform in class AbstractShape
      Parameters:
      transformPipe - the current stack of transforms (world-to-camera transformations)
      aggregator - collects transformed shapes for depth-sorted rendering
      context - provides frame dimensions, graphics context, and frame metadata
