Re: [JAVA3D] how to set full screen at compile time?

[Silvio Simone]

taken from www.j3d.org I wrote an Applications which uses fullscreen with OpenGL with the effect, that it doesnt work on every machine. I think it deepends on the OpenGL support of the graphic card. Bye the way, it was not faster! 9. How do I get Java 3D in fullscreen mode? There are two ways of accomplishing this. The first is to use JDK 1.4 or later. These have API calls for creating fullscreen windows directly. If you need to use an earlier version of the JDK, then follow these instructions: For DirectX 6.1, you can set the Java property, j3d.fullscreen to one of the following values: REQUIRED - fullscreen mode is required. Abort program if full screen mode cannot be initiated. PREFERRED - fullscreen mode is preferred. Try to initiate fullscreen mode but if that fails, use a regular window instead. UNNECESSARY - fullscreen is not necessary for this application. For instance, to run the HelloUniverse example program in fullscreen mode if it is available, the following command would be used: java -Dj3d.fullscreen=PREFERRED HelloUniverse For OpenGL, there is a workaround to make J3D look like it is operating in fullscreen by subclassing java.awt.Window. Essentially you create a new window instance that is exactly the same size as the current screen size. Window does not have all the borders that you normally get with Frame and Dialog. Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); Dimension d = tk.getScreenSize(); Frame f = new Frame(); Window w = new Window(f); w.setSize(d); Canvas3D canvas = new Canvas3D(); w.add(canvas); w.setVisible(true); ----- Original Message ----- From: Vincent To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 9:36 PM Subject: [JAVA3D] how to set full screen at compile time? Hello all, I'm new to Java3d and it's probably trivial, but does anyone have an idea of how to set a Java3D app to fullscreen size in the code? I don't want my users to have to enter that command line sentence. Also, it makes the look consistent if I could do that at compile time. Thanks! Vince No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.
