Background Color Gradient

[goose12]

Hi,

I was wondering if I can get an example of how to set the background to a gradient of colors. I have tried the following unsuccessfully. Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

ap.setAttribute(CommonAttributes.BACKGROUND_COLOR, new ColorGradient( new Color[] { Color.blue, Color.cyan, Color.green} ));

ap.setAttribute(CommonAttributes.BACKGROUND_COLOR,  new Color[] { Color.blue, Color.cyan, Color.green});

jReality does not have a built-in support for this kind of color gradient for the background. It does however offer a gradient based on specifying 4 colors, one for each corner, which it then bilinearly interpolates. I believe you can simulate the gradient you wish by constraining the 4 colors to be 2 equal pairs.

Since this option is not so well-documented in the tutorials, I've extended the tutorial example de.jreality.tutorial.app.BackgroundExample to include all three basic variations for backgrounds which jReality supports. Use the '1' key to cycle among these three options.

Note that the existing version of this tutorial online at http://www3.math.tu-berlin.de/jreality/ ... Background will not be updated to reflect this new content until the next release cycle of the jReality distribution.

If you can't check it out of the repository for some reason please post and I will post the source code here.
