Class SortedPaperType3D

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PaperType, PaperType3D
    public class SortedPaperType3D
extends PaintPaperType
implements PaperType3D
    PaintPaperType for 3-dimensional plots. Suitable for output to vector graphics media.

    It works by accumulating a list of glyphs to be painted, and when they are all in (all layer drawings have been processed) sorts them by Z-coordinate and paints them in order. I think that's the only way you can do it for vector graphics. It will unavoidably have a large memory footprint and be slow for large numbers of points.
