Hi Eric..
Thanx a lot... U are prefectly right when u said that what i need is the
ORBIT behavior with object always WITHIN scope. I knew what i wanted but really
didn't know how to do it.. I suppose this is because I didn't properly investigate
the classes written by you .
Anyway I have further queries.
1. Which fields in the classes written by you should be modified by remap the mouse
buttons to the actions.!!
2. Is it a bug of java 3d that it hasn't provided any class similar to
MouseOrbit.? Can we get the same effect by using lookAt() method in MouseRotate.?
3. Can i use ur java classes in my project?
Thanx a lot.
