I presently have a 3D shape that can rotate, scale and zoom according to
clicks of the mouse. I now want to do two things with it.
1) I want to put in some sort of reference frame for the model. Ideally
this would be a cartesian XYZ axis centered at the shapes centre. Another
possibility is to just put in a flat plane so the user can effectively see
the shape in reference to a floor. Has anyone done anything like this ?
2) In terms of getting the shape to spin I have simply used the high level
MouseRotate functionality. However, I actually want the shape to rotate
based on some numbers sent to it (such as 45 degrees around x axis). Is
implementing this rotation very difficult ?
3) Finally, I didn't really get any responses about placing my 3DCanvas in
to a JTabbedPane. I've got the Java 3D aspect working fine in a MainFrame,
but when I transfer to a JTabbedPane it doesn't appear. Any thoughts ?
Cheers
Chris McPherson
