Provides mouse navigation capabilities including rotation, zoom, and translation actions.

OrbitBehaviorInterim provides the mouse navigation capabilities of "com.sun.j3d.utils.behaviors.vp.OrbitBehavior" for a standard VirtualUniverse inclusive SimpleUniverse and for any AWT Component inclusive Canvas3D and JCanvas3D. ConfiguredUniverse is not supported. This implementation might serve as an interim version until a Java 3D core utility is available.

Release notes.

Version 1.1 - 2007/06/26

Bugs

• flags in constructor 'OrbitBehaviorInterim(int flags)' have no effect

New Methods

• setRotationCenter(Point3d center, boolean lookAtRotCenter):
  sets the current rotation center and if 'lookAtRotCenter' is true the view will be moved to this rotation center, otherwise it remains unchanged
• lookAtRotationCenter():
  view will be moved to current rotation center
• get-/setHomeRotationCenter(Point3d homeCenter):
  besides the 'home' transform a 'home' rotation center is now available, too
• goHome(boolean aroundHomeCenter):
  the 'home' transform is applied and if 'aroundHomeCenter' is true the current roation center is set to 'home' rotation center

+ some minor improvements

Version 1.0 - 2007/05/28

• Based only on javax.media.j3d.* and javax.vecmath.*, no utilities are used
• Requires Java 3D 1.2.1+
• Single Component as source used to listen for MouseEvents
• Source Component and target TransformGroup (of ViewPlatform) are explicitly to set (by constructor or setAWTComponent / setViewingTransformGroup)
• Setting rotation center updates internal state
• Never used key listening is removed
