Victor,

It sounds like you need J3dTree! ;-) Blatant plug aside, J3dTree is a
OPENSOURCE Java 3D scenegraph viewer that will display all the Bounds
information for all of the nodes in your scenegraph.

Download it from http://www.tornadolabs.com (go to the News section).

There is an example of HelloUniverse that has been modified (a few lines of
code) to use the viewer so I hope you won't have any problems.

Best of luck,

Daniel Selman

Subject: Getting the bounding extent of a subgraph


I have a complicated subgraph and I do not know the structure or
the contents of the subgraph. I need to get a bounding extent of
all the elements in the subgraph. How do I do this? Any and all
help much appreciated.

- Victor

Note : Tried using Node.getBounds() but it doesn't seem to work.
For example

Cone cone = new Cone( 5.0, 10.0 ) ;
cone.setCapability( Node.ALLOW_BOUNDS_READ ) ;
cone.setCapability( Node.ALLOW_BOUNDS_WRITE ) ;
cone.setCapability( Node.ALLOW_AUTO_COMPUTE_BOUNDS_WRITE ) ;
cone.setBoundsAutoCompute( true ) ;
Bounds b = cone.getBounds() ;
BoundingBox bbox( b ) ;

bbox ends up being a box from (-1,-1,-1) to (1,1,1).
Not what I expected.
