Lina

This is is a library for jMonkeyEngine3. It adds support for different kind of lines, which make it easy to trace objects.

Purpose of this project

I really wanted to be able to 'trace' an object, so I could see how it moved. Thus, I created this library. The library's main purpose is to add a new kind of line that can 'curve' (the lines jME features can only go between 2 points), and to add a way to hook up such a line to a moving object (and track the object's movement over time).

The project relies on interfaces, which means (almost) all things are customizable. Because of this, you can have both 2-color gradient lines and transparent gradient lines.

How to compile your own

1. Download or Clone the repository
2. Use gradle build in the root directory (make sure you have Gradle installed)
3. Get the jar from /build/libs/Lina.jar

Short how-to-use

Here is a small code sample:

Geometry g = new Geometry("geometry", new Sphere(8,8,0.5f));
g.setMaterial(lightmat);

TransparentColorControl tcc = new TransparentColorControl();
tcc.setBaseColor(ColorRGBA.Green);
TimeTracer tt = new TimeTracer(unshadedmat, 10, 64, tcc);
g.addControl(tt);

rootNode.attach(g);
