Class Name: Animation Related Geometry

Superclass - <Aggregate Geometry>

Subclasses

Definition

An instance of this DRM class is an aggregation of <Geometry Hierarchy> instances, in which each component <Geometry Hierarchy> acts as a frame in one or more animation sequence(s).

Example

1. An aircraft that is modelled with landing gear. The landing gear is modelled in different positions, each representing a frame. These frames can be run in sequence, giving it an animated or moving effect.

FAQs

How complex can an animation frame be?

Animation frames can be nothing more than a single <Polygon> changing an <Image>. They can also be much more complex, which may involve many attributes and aggregations.

Notes

Associated with Notes

Feature

 An association between a <Geometry Hierarchy> instance and a
 <Feature> instance indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy>
 and the <Feature> are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Geometry_Hierarchy

 An association between two <Geometry Hierarchy> instances
 indicates that they are alternate representations of the same
 environmental object.

Hierarchy_Summary_Item

 An association from a <Hierarchy Summary Item> instance to a
 <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Hierarchy Summary Item>
 summarizes that <Geometry Hierarchy>.

Reference_Surface

 An association from a <Reference Surface> instance to a
 <Geometry Hierarchy> indicates that the <Geometry Hierarchy>
 organizes the geometric objects that specify the resolution
 surface of the <Reference Surface>.

Composed of Notes

Collision_Volume

 In the case where multiple <Collision Volume> components are
 specified for a given <Aggregate Geometry>, the union of the
 volumes thus specified is used in collision detection.

Fields Notes

unique_descendants

 If this value is SE_TRUE, each 'descendant' of this aggregation -
 that is, each <Geometry> instance that exists in the component tree
 rooted at the given <Aggregate Geometry> - shall be unique, in the
 sense that it shall appear in only one 'branch' of this aggregation.
 If unique_descendants is SE_FALSE, at least one <Geometry> instance
 appears in more than one 'branch' of the aggregation.

strict_organizing_principle

 If this value is SE_TRUE, each 'branch' of this aggregation
 strictly complies with the organizing principle for its
 particular subclass. If this value is SE_FALSE, at least
 one 'branch' does not strictly comply with the given
 organizing principle. See the organizing principle constraint
 for each specific subclass for details.
