public interface BoidForcesFactory

Object used to create and compute forces of boids.

Method Summary

BoidForces	createNewForces(Boid b) Create a new forces object for a boid.
void	end() Terminate all operations.
void	init() Called by BoidGraph when forces factory is set.
void	resize(org.miv.pherd.geom.Point3 low, org.miv.pherd.geom.Point3 high) Resize the space.
void	step() Compute forces for all boids.

Method Detail

init

void init()

Called by BoidGraph when forces factory is set. It allows the forces factory to execute some code before it starts.

createNewForces

BoidForces createNewForces(Boid b)

Create a new forces object for a boid.

Parameters:

b - the boid

Returns:

a new forces object associate with the boid

step

void step()

Compute forces for all boids.

resize

void resize(org.miv.pherd.geom.Point3 low,
            org.miv.pherd.geom.Point3 high)

Resize the space.

Parameters:

low - the new lowest point.

high - the new highest point.

end

void end()

Terminate all operations.
