@Deprecated
public class LightManagement
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, Savable

The LightStateCreator class is used to sort lights in a scene. The utility allows the user to place multiple lights in a single container and the best eight lights (those lights that most directly affect a Spatial) will be applied.
This class should not be used anymore, use Node.sortLights() instead.

Method Detail

addLight

public void addLight(Light l)

Deprecated.

Adds a light for the controller to sort into a spatial. All the lights must be added before the lights could be sorted.

contains

public boolean contains(Light l)

Deprecated.

removeLight

public boolean removeLight(Light l)

Deprecated.

get

public Light get(int i)

Deprecated.

Gets the Ith light from the creator. The placement of the light is subject to change.

numberOfLights

public int numberOfLights()

Deprecated.

Returns the number of lights in the creator.

createLightState

public LightState createLightState(Spatial sp)

Deprecated.

Creates a new LightState for a spatial placing the "best" eight lights currently maintained by the LightStateCreator.

resortLightsFor

public void resortLightsFor(LightState ls,
                            Spatial sp)

Deprecated.

Gives the LightState the best possible lights for the Spatial. The spatial must be using bounding volumes for this process to work properly.

sort

protected void sort(Spatial sp)

Deprecated.

Sort the lightList in descending order according to the getValueFor(Light, BoundingVolume) method.

Parameters:

sp - spatial to pass to getValueFor

max
