public class GeometryTranslocator
extends Geometry
extends Geometry

A geometry translocator provides an optimized method for drawing many copies of a geometry array at different locations. This wraps any standard geometry array.

Each translocator node specifies the start vertex index, the vertex count, the color and a transformation matrix. You can specify as many translocator nodes as desired.

This allows for high speed rendering of these transloctor nodes because the geometry is setup and bound once before looping through and rendering each object. This makes it ideal for displaying grass, weeds and other types of vegetation which represents nothing more than variations on a theme.

It is up to the programmer to optimize the translocator nodes for Frustum culling. Generally the nodes are adjusted one a per frame basis by the application.
