JavaFX, NASA World Wind: How to add a JavaFX group to NASA World Wind Model

I have a group in JavaFX that contains an object and I'd like to add it to my World Wind canvas called wwd.

My group is called cube which contains an object that I'd like to display in space in World Wind above the earth.

I am able to add regular polygons to the canvas using RenderableLayer, by adding polygons to the layer using wwd.getModel().getLayers().add(layer). However, I'm not sure how to add a JavaFX group.

I'm using Java 8 with IntelliJ IDEA and have integrated it with NASA World Wind.

Solution

  • I think it will not work because it is not possible to add Nodes as children of a Canvas. You need to rebuild the object from your group in the GraphicsContext of the Canvas… Have a look at Canvas in the API.
