[gl4java-usergroup] gl commands in separate classes

[Ben H. <jb...@ho...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to port the LOD terrain rendering to Java using GL4Java.
I have a base class Terrain which deals with the whole landscape and then I 
have a class called Patch which handles the level of detail and rendering 
for a small section of the landscape.

The landscape is stored in a binary tree with each leaf representing a final 
triangle to be drawn. The renderer walks this tree and when it finds a leaf 
node, it draws it. My problem is that Terrain (the top level class) is an 
extension of GLAnimCanvas (so that it can be run in an applet) but I don't 
know what to do with the Patch class. Should it extend GLFuncJNI? Or should 
it extend something like GLContext?

To see a 2D version at work (it'll probably give you a better idea) look at

Thanks in advance,

BEN
