Re: [JAVA3D] [cyclic scene graph]

[Fausto Mancini]

You are right. But it should be possible to modify the way the graph is traversed: a cycle could be marked so that is is not traversed more than one time... It's just an idea... I don't know if it is possible...   Fausto.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Alessandro Borges To: Fausto Mancini Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 3:26 PM Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] [cyclic scene graph] A ciclic graph for rendering is the same thing as a infinite loop. This is a never ending draw !!! How to draw the next thing if the previous is a never-ending ciclic one ?? But you can consider the acyclic graph as a cyclic thing througth out  the time. I mean you will "cycle" the graph each frame you render...   Alessandro     ----- Original Message ----- From: Fausto Mancini To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 4:00 AM Subject: [JAVA3D] [cyclic scene graph] Hi all java3d interest group.   I'm a researcher from Milan (Italy). We are using java3d for scientific visualization... I've a question, and I hope this could be interesting for other members of the community... I know that java3d scenegraph is acyclic (no loops), but I need to represent a cyclic graph-structure. Is there any work-around to do that? Is it possible to "simulate" a cyclic graph using acyclic graph(s).   Thank you in advance for your attention,   Fausto Mancini
