Interface TransparencySortGeom


public interface TransparencySortGeom

The interface of the objects that should be compared to determine rendering order of transparent objects. The Comparator supplied by the user in TransparencySortController will be called with 2 objects that implement this interface.

Since:
Java 3D 1.4
