Description
This component allows a programmer to add a 3D user interface widget that will support the manipulation of 3D spherical coordinates. In other words, the dragger's visual can be manipulated as if it were sliding along the surface of a sphere of fixed radius from a specified center point.
Audience
The audience for this component package is programmers working on educational software using Java and/or Java3D. They should feel comfortable working in Java and Swing and, in some cases understand the basics of Java3D and scenegraph structures to take full advantage of this component library.
Usage
Download the JAR file and documentation linked to in the sidebar and start using our components in your projects. Make sure to add the downloaded JAR file to your classpath before compiling your source code, otherwise the Java compiler will not be able to find the exploratories component classes you reference in your code.
