Package org.jmol.g3d Description

Provides a software implementation of complete 3D graphics engine for rendering molecules and associated shapes. basic shapes.

This package implements all graphics primitives used by Jmol. The graphics engine does not use Java3D or OpenGL. It requires no specialized graphics hardware. This allows Jmol and the JmolApplet to run on any machine that has a JVM.

It is a software implementation of a graphics z-buffer. An int[] called pbuf (for pixel buffer) is used to hold ARGB values for pixels. A short[] called zbuf holds the z-depth value.

Shape primitives are provided for drawing spheres, cylinders, triangles, etc. Shading primitives provide lighting/shading support
