Summary:

The angular velocity of simulated entities shall be represented by the Angular Velocity Vector Record. This record shall specify the rate at which an entity's orientation is changing. This rate shall be measured in radians per second measured about each of the entity's own coordinate axes.

Explanation

Describes the angular velocity of the object about the x, y, and z axis with 32 floating points terms in radian's per second.

Constructor Detail

AngularVelocity

public AngularVelocity()

Constructs an new Angular Velocity Vector, velocity's value is 0.

AngularVelocity

public AngularVelocity(float pX,
                       float pY,
                       float pZ)

Constructs a new Angular Velocity Vector with coordinate values passed in parameters.

Parameters:

pX - the first coordinate in the cartesian coordinate system

pY - the second coordinate in the cartesian coordinate system

pZ - the third coordinate in the cartesian coordinate system

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Description copied from class: PduElement

Makes deep copies of all the instance variables, so we don't have two objects pointing to the same data. The accessor methods make copies of the objects, rather than returning the objects themselves. The runtime provides the right object type with the call to super.clone(), and we cast it to our type. Subclasses should do the same thing, and all these ivars will be taken care of automatically.

Overrides:

clone in class PduElement

Returns:

a clone of this instance

Object

serialize

public void serialize(java.io.DataOutputStream outputStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Serialize our data out to the stream. Subclasses of us should call super.Serialize() to make sure the superclasse's data is serialized out. The order in which instance variables are serialized is significant. They must be serialized in the same order they appear in the DIS spec. Prints out some information during execution if debugging flag is set.

Specified by:

serialize in interface SerializationInterface

Specified by:

serialize in class PduElement

Parameters:

outputStream - the stream to which this object is serialized

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - when IO error occurs.

deSerialize

public void deSerialize(java.io.DataInputStream pInputStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Deserialize our data from the input stream. Subclasses of us should call super.deSerialize to make sure the superclass's data are properly affected. The order in which instance variables are serialized is significant. They must be deSerialized in the same order as they have been serialized as specified by the DIS spec.

Specified by:

deSerialize in interface SerializationInterface

Specified by:

deSerialize in class PduElement

Parameters:

pInputStream - the stream from which this object is initialized

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - when IO error occurs.

length

public int length()

Description copied from class: PduElement

Returns the length of the object when serialized in a stream.

Specified by:

length in class PduElement

Returns:

the length of the object when serialized in a stream

printValues

public void printValues(int indentLevel,
                        java.io.PrintStream printStream)

Description copied from class: PduElement

Prints the generated serialized object for debugging.

Specified by:

printValues in class PduElement

Parameters:

indentLevel - number of spaces to indent for visibility

setValues

public void setValues(float pX,
                      float pY,
                      float pZ)

public float getY()

setY
