I have been aware of this method. However, I was wandering if it gives the actual coordinates of the object in question, or just the coordinates relative to its movement from its original position. I never really tested it...Let me be more specific: I used VRML97 to load some objects. By default they are loaded to the position where they were exported. However, at that time, as I add each of them to a new Branchgroup, with a new TransformGroup, and therefore a new Transform3d, the Transform3D is identity, as if it were at the origin. Thus different objects are all in the origin of their own coordinate system (defined by their Transform3D), while their original position (as exported from a 3d graphics application) defines how "their" coordinate system is "shifted". Does Node.getBounds().getCenter() give me the coordinates of the actual position where an object is, or does it only give me the coordinates of an object within its own coordinate system (which really is the ammount it has been shifted in each axis from its original location). I hope my question makes sense. Thank you in advance.
