Public Instance Fields
 ColorEnabled | |
| DrawEnabled | If DrawEnabled = false then the drawmethods don't works. In combination with HitEnabled you can trick: Draw an invisible, but catchenabled object, so you have an invisible hotspot. |
| GenerateNames (inherited from MNComponent) | If GenerateNames is true then a MNName willbe generated if the parent is set to a component with has no name. With GenerateNames is guarantized, the every member of a tree ( except the root ) has a unique name and there is a fullpath, with that the element can be identified. |
Public Instance Properties
 BackColor | Retrieves and sets the color of the background |
| Bitmap | |
| CatchDistance | With this value the magnetism is controlled. Objects, who are nearer as Catchdistance will be added to the HitItemlist. It is the distance in screen coordinate. By default the value is 5 pixels. |
| CatchDistanceF | Converts the value CatchDistance in world distance. |
| ClickedPosCount | |
| Count (inherited from MNComponent) | Returns the count of children |
| CurrentHit | If a hit happens then CurrentHit holds the first element if HitItemlist |
| Currentxyz | Returns the 3-point, which is allocated by the mousepointer and magnetism to some objects |
| DesignMode | |
| EventServer | |
| Eye | Returns the point of view. |
| EyeDistance | This is the distance from the Eye to the projectionplane. In case of orthogonal projection we have a fix EyeDistance of 30, else the distance is given by WorldWidth/(2*Tan(FieldOfView)); |
| FarClipping | Sets or gets the farrclipping distance. She is relative to the Eye. By default she is 50. This means an ob ject, which is farer from the eye than 50 logical unit wil be clipped. |
| FieldOfView | Sets the angle of the FieldOfView in degree. An angle of zero indicates that we have a orthogonal projection An angle different to zero indicates that we have a perspective projection. A good angle for that is ~ 20° |
| FontName | Sets or gets the name of the current font. A call to drawText uses this font. |
| FontSize | Determes the size of the font in logical units. See also drawText |
| Graphics | |
| HitEnabled | If HitEnabled = true then the selectmechanism works, else it is turned off. Default it is true. See also HitItemlist |
| HitItemlist | HitItemlist contains Hititems, which belong to selected drawing elements. This are elements, who lay in the near of the Point p, for which the method Select was called. See also HitItemList |

| Lighting | Controls, whether the lighting is on or not. |
| Lights | Contains the lights, who are used from the device |
| Material | Sets and gets the Material. |
| MNName (inherited from MNComponent) | Name of the component. |
| ModelMatrix | The ModelMatrix plays an important rule. If scene data are going to the device the they wold be transformed first by the modelmatrix and then by the ProjectionMatrix. After this two transformations the data are laying in a cube, which is bounded by (-1, -1, -1) and (1, 1, 1). In the last step the points are posiionned in the screen by expand into the viewport. You see, that the modelmatrix is a very powerful property. Surface S = new Sphere(4); Device.DrawSurface(S); // save the modelmatrix Device.PushMatrix() Device.ModelMatrix = Device.ModelMatrix * Translation(new (5, 0, 0); // this Sphere has the center at (5 /0 /0 ). Device.DrawSurface(S); Device.ModelMatrix = Device.ModelMatrix * Translation(new (5, 0, 0); // this Sphere has the center at (5 /0 /0 ). Device.DrawSurface(S); // reset the Modelmatrix Device.PopMatrix() |
| Name | |
| Navigate | If Navigate is true then you can navigate in the scene by pressed mousemoves. |
| NearClipping | Sets or gets the nearclipping distance. She is relative to the Eye. By default she is 1. This means an object, which is nearer to the Eye as 1 logical unit will be clipped. |
| Parent (inherited from MNComponent) | Sets or gets the parent of the component and looks for the correct and unique name. See also GenerateNames, setParent |
| PenColor | With this color the lines of an object will be drawn. See also PolygonMode |
| PenStyle | |
| PenWidth | |
| PixelsPerUnit | Set and gets the number of pixels per logical unit. Default is 30. A larger value makes a scene bigger. |

| ProjectionMatrix | Contains the information about the projection of 3D-Data to the screen The matrix will be influenced by setting the FieldOfView. But you can set this directly for example: // initialize ProjectionMatrix by a frustum ProjectionMatrix = Math.Matrix.Frustum(-10, 10, -10, 10, 2, 50); // or ProjectionMatrix = Matrix.Orthogonal(left,right,bottom,top,-20,20); |
| ProjectionPoint | |
| RenderMode | This property holds the RenderMode. He indicates the kind of drawing. If RenderMode = Nothing the the device is not in a paintstate.

| WorldLeftUp | |
| WorldRightDown | |
| WorldWidth | Returns the width of the windows in logical untits. |
