GraphUI – Type Animation Update 2

Happy Easter and the Graph Type Rendering and UI Saga continues. First I completed a big general JOGL overhaul of the matrix and vector math now using Matrix4f within a rewritten PMVMatrix to help performance and of course also boost our GraphUI readability. Then I fixed some interactive rotation issue with GraphUI shape and enhanced the new Group Container.

The interaction issue on rotated Shapes was visible using the animated Glyphs, i.e. when picking and dragging them while animating. Surely the screen orientation had to be flipped on the X- and Y-axis depending on their rotation, fixed and visible below in UISceneDemo03.

Since we use a Group (Container) now in above type animation demo, why not rotating it for a little bit more 3D effects? Here comes UISceneDemo03b.

That is all for now .. Happy Easter!
