It seems that Interpolators would be handy things for controlling objects in general, whether by time, through interaction with the mouse, or programmatically. How much of the Alpha interface does an Interpolator actually use? (It seems to me that the Interpolator really only needs to call Alpha.value() each time Interpolator.processStimulus() is invoked). I (think) I could override Interpolator.processStimulus() and force feed Interpolator my user/program input value by setting a new Alpha but this seems pretty kludgy and inefficient. Overriding Alpha is what I'd really like to do since Interpolators are otherwise just fine. Any estimates on how plausible it would be to subclass Alpha and override value() which returns my user/program value? J3D suggestion: Assuming my assumption about Interpolator only needing Alpha.value(), provide another constructor that accepts an AlphaValue interface instead of an Alpha object. The AlphaValue interface would have a single method, value(), which returns the alpha value. Then anything implementing AlphaValue could act as an Interpolator control source. --jon ____________________ Peculiar Technologies ____________________ Jon Barrilleaux 3800 Lake Shore Ave. Purveyors of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oakland, CA 94610 Alternate Reality 510.444.4370 voc Augmented Simulation 510.444.0231 fax www.augsim.com and 3D Solutions ===================================================================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Java 3D Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
