## Class GeometryCompressor

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

Deprecated.
As of Java 3D 1.5, replaced by 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 CompressedGeometry node component or appended to a CompressedGeometryFile.

  `CompressionStream`, `CompressedGeometry`, `CompressedGeometryFile`

### Method Detail

#### compress

    public CompressedGeometry compress(CompressionStream stream)

Deprecated.
Compress a stream into a CompressedGeometry node component.

Parameters:
  `stream` - CompressionStream containing the geometry to be compressed
Returns:
  a CompressedGeometry node component

#### compress

    public void compress(CompressionStream stream,
                CompressedGeometryFile f)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Deprecated.
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
