        public final void render​(java.lang.String optionsName,
                                 Display display)
        Description copied from interface: SunflowAPIInterface
        Render using the specified options and the specified display. If the specified options do not exist - defaults will be used.
        Specified by:
        render in interface SunflowAPIInterface
        Parameters:
        optionsName - name of the RenderObject which contains the options
        display - display object
      • include

        public final boolean include​(java.lang.String filename)
        Description copied from interface: SunflowAPIInterface
        Parse the specified filename. The include paths are searched first. The contents of the file are simply added to the active scene. This allows to break up a scene into parts, even across file formats. The appropriate parser is chosen based on file extension.
        Specified by:
        include in interface SunflowAPIInterface
        Parameters:
        filename - filename to load
        Returns:
        true upon sucess, false if an error occured.
      • getBounds

        public final BoundingBox getBounds()
        Retrieve the bounding box of the scene. This method will be valid only after a first call to render(String, Display) has been made.
      • build

        public void build()
        This method does nothing, but may be overriden to create scenes procedurally.
      • create

        public static SunflowAPI create​(java.lang.String filename,
                                        int frameNumber)
        Create an API object from the specified file. Java files are read by Janino and are expected to implement a build method (they implement a derived class of SunflowAPI. The build method is called if the code compiles succesfully. Other files types are handled by the parse method.
        Parameters:
        filename - filename to load
        Returns:
        a valid SunflowAPI object or null on failure
      • translate

        public static boolean translate​(java.lang.String filename,
                                        java.lang.String outputFilename)
        Translate specfied file into the native sunflow scene file format.
        Parameters:
        filename - input filename
        outputFilename - output filename
        Returns:
        true upon success, false otherwise
      • compile

        public static SunflowAPI compile​(java.lang.String code)
        Compile the specified code string via Janino. The code must implement a build method as described above. The build method is not called on the output, it is up the caller to do so.
        Parameters:
        code - java code string
        Returns:
        a valid SunflowAPI object upon succes, null otherwise.
      • currentFrame

        public int currentFrame()
        Read the value of the current frame. This value is intended only for procedural animation creation. It is not used by the Sunflow core in anyway. The default value is 1.
        Returns:
        current frame number
      • currentFrame

        public void currentFrame​(int currentFrame)
        Description copied from interface: SunflowAPIInterface
        Set the value of the current frame. This value is intended only for procedural animation creation. It is not used by the Sunflow core in anyway. The default value is 1.
        Specified by:
        currentFrame in interface SunflowAPIInterface
        Parameters:
        currentFrame - current frame number
