public interface Traceable
extends ModelComponent

Indicates a component that has properties which are 'traceable', meaning that a Tracing probe can be attached to them. A present, such properties must represent either a Point3d, or a vector object of length 3.

Method Detail

getTraceables

java.lang.String[] getTraceables()

Returns a list of all traceable properties in this Traceable.

getTraceablePositionProperty

java.lang.String getTraceablePositionProperty(java.lang.String traceableName)

For a given traceable property, returns the name of a property (if any) which provides a reference position to be used for the traceable property. The property name can be prepended with either a + or - character, which is used to control the rendering of the tracing probe in case the traceable property is a 3-vector. A prepended + character means that the vector will be rendered starting at, and directed away from the reference position (or render as pull), while a + character means that the vector will be rendered starting away from, and directed into the reference position (or render as push).

Returns:

reference position property name, or null.
