Direct Known Subclasses:

SphereGraphicalLineBase, SphereGraphicalPoint

public abstract class SphereGraphicalBase
extends javax.media.j3d.Group

SphereGraphicalBase is the base class for objects that want to be placed in the SphereWorld. The way it is designed is a little strange, but it had to be done this way so we could get a base class for objects that were being placed on the Sphere. Basically you call this constuctor with a Node that Node should be what you are really trying to model. Then you can access the actual Node through the getNode function. However you should add *this* to the scene graph and not the Node that is passed to the constructor.
