Re: [JAVA3D] Rotate a Cylinder within the x,y,z axis

Fri, 20 Jun 2003 15:16:51 -0700

I tried the following
 
Cylinder cylinder=new Cylinder();
 
 cylinder.setAppearance(app);
 
 
 Transform3D t2 = new Transform3D();
   Vector3d vec = new Vector3d(-3.0d, -1.0d,-2.0d);
   Matrix3f matrix=new Matrix3f();
   matrix.set(new AxisAngle4d(vec,40d));
   matrix.setIdentity();
   t2.set(matrix);
   
   TransformGroup objTrans2 = new TransformGroup();
   objTrans2.setTransform(t2);
   objTrans2.addChild(cylinder); 
 
group.addChild(objTrans2);
 
 
But i cannot orientate the cylinder towards (-3.0, -1.0,-2.0). What is wrong?

I have a method that calculates a rotation matrix that will do what you need. If you want me to send it to you , I will....

I have a Cylinder that starts from a P1(x1,y1,z1) so i want to rotate and the other edge to be located by another point P2(x2.y2.z2) adjusting its height in order to reach the second point
 
Thanks in advance
