Class ImageUtilities

java.lang.Object
  vooga.physicsEngine.geometry.shapes.ImageUtilities

public class ImageUtilities
extends java.lang.Object

Utility class for various image related functionalities for the physics engine.

One functionality is createTextureFromShape and createImageFromShape, which help to render different Shapes (internal physics engine geometry object) onto the screen by creating a transparent image. This can create the corresponding Texture objects (see game engine) so that one can do new PhysicalItem(new Circle(5)) and have a circle be displayed on the screen, without needing to supply an image of a circle.
