addPointPlain

public int addPointPlain(float x,
                         float y,
                         float z)

                              float r,
                              float g,
                              float b,
                              float a)

Synonym for addPoint(x,y,z,0,0,1,r,g,b,a);

addPointWithNormal

public int addPointWithNormal(float x,
                              float y,
                              float z,
                              float nx,
                              float ny,
                              float nz)

Synonym for addPoint(x,y,z,nx,ny,nz,1,1,1,1);

addPoint

public int addPoint(float x,
                    float y,
                    float z,
                    float nx,
                    float ny,
                    float nz,
                    float r,
                    float g,
                    float b,
                    float a)

Add a new point to the list. Normal values should be normalised but might work without. The red/green/blue/alpha values should be between 0 and 1, not 0 and 255.

Parameters:

x,y,z - the position in space

nx,ny,nz - the normals of the point

r,g,b,a - the 0..1 colour values

Returns:

the point ID of the added point for use in addTri(int,int,int)

addTri

public void addTri(int point1,
                   int point2,
                   int point3)

Create a triangle out of the 3 supplied point IDs. Ensure all IDs are valid or things could crash nastily.

Parameters:

point1 -

point2 -

point3 -

draw

public void draw()

Draws the triangles. Do not call beginGL() before calling this.
