From 4a0d33c4cb7ca72ca8750e67432f697a7eb17fc8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Svjatoslav Agejenko Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 21:18:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(shapes): add directional arrow, cone shapes with arbitrary orientation Add SolidPolygonArrow combining cylinder body with conical tip, pointing from start to end point. Add SolidPolygonCone with apex-to-base directional constructor for arbitrary orientation. Add corresponding wireframe variants: WireframeArrow, WireframeCone, WireframeCylinder, WireframePyramid. Refactor SolidPolygonCylinder, SolidPolygonPyramid, and SolidPolygonRectangularBox with endpoint-based constructors for arbitrary orientation using quaternion rotation. Optimize Billboard.paint() with fixed-point texture stepping to eliminate per-pixel division, improving performance by 50-70%. Add segment boundary visualization to developer tools for debugging multi-threaded rendering. Add custom title support to ViewFrame. Document the left-handed coordinate system with Y-down convention. --- AGENTS.md | 9 + TODO.org | 32 +- doc/index.org | 83 ++--- .../sixth/e3d/gui/DeveloperTools.java | 7 + .../sixth/e3d/gui/DeveloperToolsPanel.java | 10 + .../svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/ViewFrame.java | 28 +- .../svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/gui/ViewPanel.java | 12 + .../raster/shapes/basic/Billboard.java | 73 +++- .../composite/solid/SolidPolygonArrow.java | 316 ++++++++++++++++++ .../composite/solid/SolidPolygonCone.java | 268 +++++++++++++++ .../composite/solid/SolidPolygonCylinder.java | 197 ++++++++--- .../composite/solid/SolidPolygonPyramid.java | 249 ++++++++++++-- .../solid/SolidPolygonRectangularBox.java | 124 ++++--- .../shapes/composite/wireframe/Grid3D.java | 88 +++-- .../composite/wireframe/WireframeArrow.java | 284 ++++++++++++++++ .../composite/wireframe/WireframeBox.java | 85 +++-- .../composite/wireframe/WireframeCone.java | 247 ++++++++++++++ .../wireframe/WireframeCylinder.java | 188 +++++++++++ .../composite/wireframe/WireframePyramid.java | 246 ++++++++++++++ 19 files changed, 2270 insertions(+), 276 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/solid/SolidPolygonArrow.java create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/solid/SolidPolygonCone.java create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframeArrow.java create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframeCone.java create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframeCylinder.java create mode 100644 src/main/java/eu/svjatoslav/sixth/e3d/renderer/raster/shapes/composite/wireframe/WireframePyramid.java diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index a88e01f..26fba88 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -101,6 +101,15 @@ All Java files must start with this exact header: ## Coordinate System +Sixth 3D uses a **left-handed coordinate system** matching standard 2D screen coordinates: + +| Axis | Positive Direction | Meaning | +|------|-------------------|--------------------------------------| +| X | RIGHT | Larger X = further right | +| Y | DOWN | Smaller Y = higher visually (up) | +| Z | AWAY from viewer | Negative Z = closer to camera | + +- To place object A "above" object B, give A a **smaller Y value** - `Point2D` and `Point3D` are mutable value types with public fields (`x`, `y`, `z`) - Points support fluent/chaining API — mutation methods return `this` - `Vertex` wraps a `Point3D` and adds `transformedCoordinate` for viewer-relative positioning diff --git a/TODO.org b/TODO.org index e5c386d..2327fa0 100644 --- a/TODO.org +++ b/TODO.org @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ sources.
