J/View3DPro
Java 3D™ Graphics Framework for Sophisticated
Visualization
J/View3DPro is a graphics framework that extends the capabilities of
Java 3D and simplifies the task of creating sophisticated 3D data
visualizations. Minimal 3D programming experience is needed for rapid
development of 3D graphical applications. J/View3DPro allows all
developers to be productive in a 3D environment, requiring no previous
DirectX/Open GL™ programming experience.

Unique Advantages
The J/View3DPro API hides complex details of building scene graphs in
Java 3D. The API centers on creating 3D shapes and their attributes,
then viewing and manipulating those shapes and attributes. Features of
Java 3D scene graphs are not lost. J/View3DPro manages them, allowing
developers to stay focused on their data.
J/View3DPro allows developers to create, manipulate,
annotate, and edit sets of 3D objects. The architecture consists of
three basic components: a view, a data model, and a set of control
objects that interact with the view and data models.
The view handles the entire Java 3D interface and
creates the canvas for rendering to the screen. Because J/View3DPro
builds and updates a Java 3D scene graph, the user can enjoy the
benefits of scene graph technology.
The data model allows users to create J/View3DPro
shapes, including points, lines, polygons, volumes, text, markers, quad
meshes, triangle meshes, and supplementary objects such as lights and
axes. Shapes can have individual or shared graphical attributes that
include color, texture, lighting, and fill type. Collections of shapes
can be placed in containers with a shared transformation matrix.
Control objects enable the manipulation of the view
and data models, including rotation, translation, zooming, picking,
selection, and interactive editing.
Availability
J/View3DPro is available on all platforms that support J2SE 5 and Java
3D 1.5.
