That's why everyone asks about BufferedImages

Troubleshooting General Help
1

After all this time, i finally got around to wanting to add a canvas to the guiNode. After picking through every post I could find, It still took a lot of work and I still have one problem. First, there is a BitmapText node, why is there still not a CanvasNode (what it looks like everyone wants)? So, here is mine. I’ll put in in Contribudions, too. That said, I’m resizing my BufferedImage but the output doesn’t resize. The dump of my BufferedImage says that the size changed, but it still comes out at the old size. It looks like it is scaling 1:2 (going from 200, 200 to 100,100). But, why? I’ll try going from small to big rather than big to small and see if that makes a difference.
Also, FYI, you have to remove comment blocks before posting code here. Otherwise the code gets broken up in segments. (or my browser is broken)

…or you didn’t read the sticky topic at the top of the forum about how to post code blocks…

It sounds like you are trying to put a canvas into your 3D scene? Honestly, I haven’t seen anyone wanting this.

Is it that you just want to use Swing to draw on the image? Or?

Most of the talk of “canvas” and images is going the other direction. They want the 3D scene in their Swing/AWT/etc. GUI.

I put canvases in swing all the time. I’m trying something different. Swingless. I’m adding my 3D radar to the guiNode. It looks like this. And it needs to update every frame.

For something like a radar screen, a canvas is awfully heavyweight. There are much more efficient ways to do the same thing with standard 3D meshes, and I think you’ll find that they’re easier than doing the math to draw concentric circles. The end result will also be much, much easier to incorporate correctly with the rest of your 3D scene (I.e. placing it on a command console in the 3D world, partial transparency, etc.).

Or write directly to the ImageRaster of the JME Image. Someone even put together a library for that somewhere. ImagePainter or something like that… it had circle primitives and so on.

Ok. I’ll have to decipher what you said and then work on it. Here is the heart of the 3D radar. The math is done. You can see, I need to get each geometry/s translation every frame. I’m not sure I could move points in a mesh. If you can point me in the right direction, I’ll look at it. I have considered it.

[code]

        worldCenter = new Vector3d();
        controlledLocation = new Vector3d(toVector3d(controlled.getWorldTranslation()));
        controlledRotation = new Vector3d(toVector3d(controlled.getWorldRotation()));//degree

        euler[X] = controlledRotation.x;//degree
        euler[Y] = controlledRotation.y;//degree
        euler[Z] = controlledRotation.z;//degree

        positionArray = Math3D.Translate(positionArray, controlledLocation, worldCenter);//move to 0,0,0

        positionArray = Math3D.RotateX(positionArray, -euler[X]); //Pitch deg
        positionArray = Math3D.RotateY(positionArray, -euler[Y]); //Heading deg
        positionArray = Math3D.RotateZ(positionArray, -euler[Z]); //Roll deg

        positionArray = Math3D.Translate(positionArray, worldCenter, controlledLocation);//move back x,y,z

[code]

It’s like right at the top of the forum page. Not sure how people manage to miss it.
