GeometryCompressor (3D 1.5.2)

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.compression.GeometryCompressor

```
public class GeometryCompressor
extends java.lang.Object
```
A GeometryCompressor takes a stream of geometric elements and quantization parameters (the CompressionStream object) and compresses it into a stream of commands as defined by appendix B of the Java 3D specification. The resulting data may be output in the form of a CompressedGeometryData node component or appended to a CompressedGeometryFile.

Since:

Java 3D 1.5

  - compress
```
public CompressedGeometryData compress(CompressionStream stream)
```
    Compress a stream into a CompressedGeometryData node component.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - CompressionStream containing the geometry to be compressed
    
    Returns:
    
    a CompressedGeometryData node component
  - compress
```
public void compress(CompressionStream stream,
                     CompressedGeometryFile f)
              throws java.io.IOException
```
    Compress a stream and append the output to a CompressedGeometryFile. The resource remains open for subsequent updates; its close() method must be called to create a valid compressed geometry resource file.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - CompressionStream containing the geometry to be compressed
    
    f - a currently open CompressedGeometryFile with write access
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if write fails
