Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static void	addTable(java.lang.String tableID, com.jme3.math.Vector2f location, float orientation, com.jme3.math.Vector2f dimensions, float pixelWidth, float metreWidth, IStage stage) Creates a spatial representing another device connected to the network cluster's interface.
static void	announceTablePositionToAll() Sends out a structured message to all devices on the network cluster defining the current device's interface's location and orientation in its physical environment.
static void	announceTablePositionToSpecificTable(java.lang.String targetTableID) Sends out a structured message to a specific device on the network cluster defining the current device's interface's location and orientation in its physical environment.
static java.lang.String	getIDForTable(com.jme3.scene.Spatial targetTable) Retrieves the network cluster ID of the device interface represented by a spatial.
static void	removeTable(java.lang.String tableID) Removes the spatial representing the identified device's interface from the environment.
static void	removeTableFromAll() Sends a structured message announcing that the local representation of the current device's interface should be removed from all instances of SynergyNetApp extending applications.

Method Detail

addTable

public static void addTable(java.lang.String tableID,
            com.jme3.math.Vector2f location,
            float orientation,
            com.jme3.math.Vector2f dimensions,
            float pixelWidth,
            float metreWidth,
            IStage stage)

Creates a spatial representing another device connected to the network cluster's interface. The method adds this in the same position as its real life counterpart in relation to the local device's interface position. The method then sends a structured message detailing the local device's interface position to the device represented by the spatial.

Parameters:

tableID - ID of the device of the interface represented on the network cluster.

location - Location of the interface represented in the physical environment relative to the local device's interface position.

orientation - Orientation of the interface represented in the physical environment relative to the local device's interface position.

dimensions - The width and height of the device represented's interface.

pixelWidth - The width of the device represented's interface in pixels.

announceTablePositionToAll

public static void announceTablePositionToAll()

Sends out a structured message to all devices on the network cluster defining the current device's interface's location and orientation in its physical environment.

announceTablePositionToSpecificTable

public static void announceTablePositionToSpecificTable(java.lang.String targetTableID)

Sends out a structured message to a specific device on the network cluster defining the current device's interface's location and orientation in its physical environment.

Parameters:

targetTableID - The ID of the target device on the network cluster.

getIDForTable

public static java.lang.String getIDForTable(com.jme3.scene.Spatial targetTable)

Retrieves the network cluster ID of the device interface represented by a spatial.

Parameters:

targetTable - Spatial representing a remote device interface.

Returns:

A String representing the ID of the device represented on the network cluster.

removeTable

public static void removeTable(java.lang.String tableID)

Removes the spatial representing the identified device's interface from the environment. The method also removes the entries from the collections of spatials, IDs and orientations of the other devices on the network cluster.

Parameters:

tableID - ID of the device to be removed on the network cluster.

removeTableFromAll

public static void removeTableFromAll()

Sends a structured message announcing that the local representation of the current device's interface should be removed from all instances of SynergyNetApp extending applications.
