Class TransformGroupCustomer

public class TransformGroupCustomer

extends java.lang.Object

implements Customer

This object implements the Customer interface and is used to set the PickableTransformGroup's Transform3D to a new value every time the consume method is called. Usage:

Transform3d transform = InterestingObject.getTransform();
TransformGroupCustomer cust = new TransformGroupCustomer(transform);
MulticastHandler multi = new MulticastHandler("128.8.2.2", 3120, cust);
multi.begin();
.
.
.
multi.transmit(buf, len);
.
.
.
multi.end();

In the example above, we wish to send transform information out on a multicast group, and have all other MulticastHandlers listening on the subnet 128.8.2.2 on port 3120 to set the Transform3D for the object InterestingObject when they receive data.
