// creates cube model with name and (a simple) material
var cubeModel = new Model("cube", new Material("&deg;"));

// defines model points.
// The model's points have to be defined before the respective code is written into the document.
cubeModel.setPoints(createCubeModelPoints());


// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

// the matrix to transform the model with
var staticRotationMatrix = new Matrix();
staticRotationMatrix.rotateX(0.05);
staticRotationMatrix.rotateY(0.1);

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

function initOnLoad() {
	fixNetscape();
	
	// assign layer (only for Netscape 4.x, for all other browsers
	// this is done automatically when writing the point code)
	cubeModel.assignLayers();
	
	// creates and inits matrix to initialize the model
	var initMatrix = new Matrix();
	initMatrix.scale(50, 50, 50);
	// >> begin to work with the model etc.

	// initializes model
	cubeModel.transform(initMatrix);
	
	// >> first draw of the model (recommended)
	cubeModel.draw();
	
	// starts animation
	animate();
}

/*
 * The main animate method. Calls itself repeatedly.
 */
function animate() {
	var delay = 10;
	
	// animates cube model ----------------------------------------

	// rotates the cube
	cubeModel.transform(staticRotationMatrix);
	
	// updates display
	cubeModel.draw();
	
	// calls itself with an delay to decouple client computer speed from the animation speed.
	// result: the animation is as fast as possible.
	setTimeout("animate()", delay);
}



// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

function createCubeModelPoints() {
	// the cube model
	return new Array(
		//  Point3D( x,  y,  z, m)
