Class RotPosScalePathInterpolator


  • public class RotPosScalePathInterpolator
    extends PathInterpolator
    RotPosScalePathInterpolation behavior. This class defines a behavior that varies the rotational, translational, and scale components of its target TransformGroup by linearly interpolating among a series of predefined knot/position, knot/orientation, and knot/scale pairs (using the value generated by the specified Alpha object). The interpolated position, orientation, and scale are used to generate a transform in the local coordinate system of this interpolator. The first knot must have a value of 0.0. The last knot must have a value of 1.0. An intermediate knot with index k must have a value strictly greater than any knot with index less than k.
