## javax.media.j3d
Class WakeupOnElapsedFrames

    java.lang.Object
      javax.media.j3d.WakeupCondition
          javax.media.j3d.WakeupCriterion
              javax.media.j3d.WakeupOnElapsedFrames

    public final class WakeupOnElapsedFrames

extends WakeupCriterion

Class specifying a wakeup when a specific number of frames have elapsed. The wakeup criterion can either be passive or non-passive. If any behavior uses a non-passive WakeupOnElapsedFrames, the rendering system will run continuously.

In general, applications cannot count on behavior execution being synchronized with rendering. Behaviors that use WakeupOnElapsedFrames with a frame count of 0 are an exception to this general rule. Such behaviors will be executed every frame. Further, all modifications to scene graph objects (not including geometry by-reference or texture by-reference) made from the `processStimulus` methods of such behaviors are guaranteed to take effect in the same rendering frame.

Constructor Summary
`WakeupOnElapsedFrames(int frameCount)` Constructs a non-passive WakeupOnElapsedFrames criterion.
`WakeupOnElapsedFrames(int frameCount, boolean passive)` Constructs a WakeupOnElapsedFrames criterion.

Method Summary
`int` `getElapsedFrameCount()` Retrieves the elapsed frame count that was used when constructing this object.
`boolean` `isPassive()` Retrieves the state of the passive flag that was used when constructing this object.

Constructor Detail

### WakeupOnElapsedFrames

    public WakeupOnElapsedFrames(int frameCount)

  Constructs a non-passive WakeupOnElapsedFrames criterion.

  Parameters:
    `frameCount` - the number of frames that Java 3D should draw before awakening this behavior object; a value of N means wakeup at the end of frame N, where the current frame is zero, a value of zero means wakeup at the end of the current frame.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if frameCount is less than zero

### WakeupOnElapsedFrames

    public WakeupOnElapsedFrames(int frameCount,
                                 boolean passive)

  Constructs a WakeupOnElapsedFrames criterion.

  Parameters:
    `frameCount` - the number of frames that Java 3D should draw before awakening this behavior object; a value of N means wakeup at the end of frame N, where the current frame is zero, a value of zero means wakeup at the end of the current frame.
    `passive` - flag indicating whether this behavior is passive; a non-passive behavior will cause the rendering system to run continuously, while a passive behavior will only run when some other event causes a frame to be run.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if frameCount is less than zero
  Since:
    Java 3D 1.2

Method Detail

### getElapsedFrameCount

    public int getElapsedFrameCount()

  Retrieves the elapsed frame count that was used when constructing this object.

  Returns:
    the elapsed frame count specified when constructing this object

### isPassive

    public boolean isPassive()

  Retrieves the state of the passive flag that was used when constructing this object.

  Returns:
    true if this wakeup criterion is passive, false otherwise
  Since:
    Java 3D 1.2
