Eric, I presume it's because it's documented as returning a *copy* of the Transform3D.
If it created a copy and returned that, it'd lead to lots of unwanted garbage if called repeatedly. Rob Sandegren, Eric S. wrote:
This may seem like a silly question but - why does the getTransform method of TransformGroup take a parameter and set it's reference, rather than returning a reference to the Transform3D? All the other "get" methods I've ever seen return the object rather than having you pass it in and then the method fill it. ??
