Class ProtoDeclare

All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode

public class ProtoDeclare extends X3DConcreteStatement implements X3DChildNode
ProtoDeclare defines new Prototype nodes. Nested ProtoDeclares and ProtoInstances are allowed by the specification. This concrete class represents an X3D ProtoDeclare statement.

X3D statement tooltip: [X3D statement] ProtoDeclare is a Prototype Declaration, defining a new node made up of other node(s). ProtoDeclare contains ProtoInterface and ProtoBody statements. Hint: ProtoInterface contains field interfaces using the &lt;field&gt; tag, then ProtoBody contains the X3D nodes making up this prototype. Hint: initial scene node in a ProtoDeclare/ProtoBody statement determines this prototype's node type. Hint: ProtoDeclare is a definition only, add corresponding ProtoInstance nodes later in a scene to create new node instances. Hint: Nested ProtoInstance and ProtoDeclare statements are allowed within a ProtoDeclare/ProtoBody. Warning: a ProtoInstance node may not be instantiated inside its own ProtoDeclare or ExternProtoDeclare declaration (i.e. recursive prototypes are illegal).
