    public abstract class GeometryArray

extends Geometry

The GeometryArray object contains separate arrays of positional coordinates, colors, normals, texture coordinates, and vertex attributes that describe point, line, or polygon geometry. This class is extended to create the various primitive types (such as lines, triangle strips, etc.). Vertex data may be passed to this geometry array in one of two ways: by copying the data into the array using the existing methods, or by passing a reference to the data.

- By Copying: The existing methods for setting positional coordinates, colors, normals, texture coordinates, and vertex attributes (such as `setCoordinate`, `setColors`, etc.) copy the data into this GeometryArray. This is appropriate for many applications and offers an application much flexibility in organizing its data. This is the default mode.
- By Reference: A new set of methods in Java 3D version 1.2 allows data to be accessed by reference, directly from the user's arrays. To use this feature, set the `BY_REFERENCE` bit in the `vertexFormat` field of the constructor for this GeometryArray. In this mode, the various set methods for coordinates, normals, colors, texture coordinates, and vertex attributes are not used. Instead, new methods are used to set a reference to user-supplied coordinate, color, normal, texture coordinate, and vertex attribute arrays (such as `setCoordRefFloat`, `setColorRefFloat`, etc.). Data in any array that is referenced by a live or compiled GeometryArray object may only be modified via the `updateData` method (subject to the `ALLOW_REF_DATA_WRITE` capability bit). Applications must exercise care not to violate this rule. If any referenced geometry data is modified outside of the `updateData` method, the results are undefined.

All colors used in the geometry array object must be in the range [0.0,1.0]. Values outside this range will cause undefined results. All normals used in the geometry array object must be unit length vectors. That is their geometric length must be 1.0. Normals that are not unit length vectors will cause undefined results.

Note that the term coordinate, as used in the method names and method descriptions, actually refers to a set of x, y, and z coordinates representing the position of a single vertex. The term coordinates (plural) is used to indicate sets of x, y, and z coordinates for multiple vertices. This is somewhat at odds with the mathematical definition of a coordinate, but is used as a convenient shorthand. Similarly, the term texture coordinate is used to indicate a set of texture coordinates for a single vertex, while the term texture coordinates (plural) is used to indicate sets of texture coordinates for multiple vertices.

                         int[] texCoordSetMap)

  Constructs an empty GeometryArray object with the specified number of vertices, vertex format, number of texture coordinate sets, and texture coordinate mapping array. Defaults are used for all other parameters.

  Parameters:
    `vertexCount` - the number of vertex elements in this GeometryArray

    `vertexFormat` - a mask indicating which components are present in each vertex. This is specified as one or more individual flags that are bitwise "OR"ed together to describe the per-vertex data. The flags include: `COORDINATES`, to signal the inclusion of vertex positions--always present; `NORMALS`, to signal the inclusion of per vertex normals; one of `COLOR_3` or `COLOR_4`, to signal the inclusion of per vertex colors (without or with alpha information); one of `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_2` or `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_3` or `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_4`, to signal the inclusion of per-vertex texture coordinates (2D , 3D or 4D); `BY_REFERENCE`, to indicate that the data is passed by reference rather than by copying; `INTERLEAVED`, to indicate that the referenced data is interleaved in a single array; `USE_NIO_BUFFER`, to indicate that the referenced data is accessed via a J3DBuffer object that wraps an NIO buffer; `USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY`, to indicate that only the coordinate indices are used for indexed geometry arrays; `BY_REFERENCE_INDICES`, to indicate that the indices are accessed by reference in indexed geometry arrays.

    `texCoordSetCount` - the number of texture coordinate sets in this GeometryArray object. If `vertexFormat` does not include one of `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_2` or `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_3`, the `texCoordSetCount` parameter is not used.

    `texCoordSetMap` - an array that maps texture coordinate sets to texture units. The array is indexed by texture unit number for each texture unit in the associated Appearance object. The values in the array specify the texture coordinate set within this GeometryArray object that maps to the corresponding texture unit. All elements within the array must be less than `texCoordSetCount`. A negative value specifies that no texture coordinate set maps to the texture unit corresponding to the index. If there are more texture units in any associated Appearance object than elements in the mapping array, the extra elements are assumed to be -1. The same texture coordinate set may be used for more than one texture unit. Each texture unit in every associated Appearance must have a valid source of texture coordinates: either a non-negative texture coordinate set must be specified in the mapping array or texture coordinate generation must be enabled. Texture coordinate generation will take precedence for those texture units for which a texture coordinate set is specified and texture coordinate generation is enabled. If `vertexFormat` does not include one of `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_2` or `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_3` or `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_4`, the `texCoordSetMap` array is not used. The following example illustrates the use of the `texCoordSetMap` array.

    1 | -1 | Use no tex coord set for tex unit 1
    2 | 0 | Use tex coord set 0 for tex unit 2
    3 | 1 | Reuse tex coord set 1 for tex unit 3

  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if vertexCount < 0
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if vertexFormat does not include `COORDINATES`
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the `USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY` bit or the `BY_REFERENCE_INDICES` bit is set for non-indexed geometry arrays (that is, GeometryArray objects that are not a subclass of IndexedGeometryArray)

    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the `USE_NIO_BUFFER` bit is set without the `BY_REFERENCE` bit being set
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the `INTERLEAVED` bit and the `VERTEX_ATTRIBUTES` bit are both set
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the `BY_REFERENCE_INDICES` bit is set without the `BY_REFERENCE` and `USE_COORD_INDEX_ONLY` bits being set
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if `texCoordSetCount < 0`

    public void setInitialVertexIndex(int initialVertexIndex)

  Sets the initial vertex index for this GeometryArray object. This index specifies the first vertex within this geometry array that is actually used in rendering or other operations such as picking and collision. This attribute is initialized to 0. This attribute is only used when the data mode for this geometry array object is not `BY_REFERENCE` or when the data mode is `INTERLEAVED`.

  Parameters:
    `initialVertexIndex` - the new initial vertex index.
  Throws:
    `CapabilityNotSetException` - if the appropriate capability is not set and this object is part of a live or compiled scene graph
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if either of the following are true:
    `initialVertexIndex < 0` or
    `initialVertexIndex + validVertexCount > vertexCount`
    `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the geometry data format is `INTERLEAVED`, the InterleavedVertices array is non-null, and:
    `InterleavedVertices.length` < num_words * (`initialVertexIndex + validVertexCount`)
    where num_words depends on which vertex formats are enabled.

If all normal array references are null and normals are enabled (that is, the vertexFormat includes `NORMAL`), the entire geometry array object is treated as if it were null--any Shape3D or Morph node that uses this geometry array will not be drawn.

  Parameters:
    `normals` - an array of 3*n values to which a reference will be set.
  Throws:
    `CapabilityNotSetException` - if the appropriate capability is not set and this object is part of a live or compiled scene graph
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the data mode for this geometry array object is not `BY_REFERENCE`, is `USE_NIO_BUFFER`, or is `INTERLEAVED`.
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified array is non-null and any other normal reference is also non-null.
    `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `NORMALS` bit is not set in the `vertexFormat`, or if `normals.length < 3 * (initialNormalIndex + validVertexCount)`.
    `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if this GeometryArray object is a subclass of IndexedGeometryArray, and any element in the range `[initialIndexIndex, initialIndexIndex+validIndexCount-1]` in the normal index array is greater than or equal to the number of vertices defined by the normals array, `normals.length / 3`.

### setInterleavedVertices

    public void setInterleavedVertices(float[] vertexData)

  Sets the interleaved vertex array reference to the specified array. The vertex components must be stored in a predetermined order in the array. The order is: texture coordinates, colors, normals, and positional coordinates. Vertex attributes are not supported in interleaved mode. In the case of texture coordinates, the values for each texture coordinate set are stored in order from 0 through texCoordSetCount-1. Only those components that are enabled appear in the vertex. The number of words per vertex depends on which vertex components are enabled. Texture coordinates, if enabled, use 2 words per texture coordinate set per vertex for `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_2`, 3 words per texture coordinate set per vertex for `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_3` or 4 words per texture coordinate set per vertex for `TEXTURE_COORDINATE_4`. Colors, if enabled, use 3 words per vertex for `COLOR_3` or 4 words per vertex for `COLOR_4`. Normals, if enabled, use 3 words per vertex. Positional coordinates, which are always enabled, use 3 words per vertex. For example, the format of interleaved data for a GeometryArray object whose vertexFormat includes `COORDINATES`, `COLOR_3`, and `NORMALS` would be: red, green, blue, Nx, Ny, Nz, x, y, z. All components of a vertex are stored in adjacent memory locations. The first component of vertex 0 is stored beginning at index 0 in the array. The first component of vertex 1 is stored beginning at index words_per_vertex in the array. The total number of words needed to store n vertices is words_per_vertex*n.

  Parameters:
    `vertexData` - an array of vertex values to which a reference will be set.
  Throws:
    `CapabilityNotSetException` - if the appropriate capability is not set and this object is part of a live or compiled scene graph
    `java.lang.IllegalStateException` - if the data mode for this geometry array object is not `INTERLEAVED` or is `USE_NIO_BUFFER`.
    `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if `vertexData.length` < words_per_vertex * (`initialVertexIndex + validVertexCount`), where words_per_vertex depends on which formats are enabled.
    `java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` - if this GeometryArray object is a subclass of IndexedGeometryArray, and any element in the range `[initialIndexIndex, initialIndexIndex+validIndexCount-1]` in the index array associated with any of the enabled vertex components (coord, color, normal, texcoord) is greater than or equal to the number of vertices defined by the vertexData array, `vertexData.length /` words_per_vertex.

Colors, if enabled, use 3 words per vertex for `COLOR_3` or 4 words per vertex for `COLOR_4`. Normals, if enabled, use 3 words per vertex.
