Class ROUTE

All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode

public class ROUTE extends X3DConcreteStatement implements X3DChildNode
ROUTE connects output fields of event-producing nodes to input fields of event-consuming nodes. This concrete class represents an X3D ROUTE statement.

X3D statement tooltip: [X3D statement] ROUTE connects output fields of event-producing nodes to input fields of event-consuming nodes. Warning: each ROUTE must follow the DEF definition of both event-source and event-target nodes. Warning: strongly typed event checking means that data type (SFInt32, MFVec3f, etc.) must match identically for both event-source and event-target fields. Warning: event-source fields can have accessType outputOnly or inputOutput, while event-target nodes can have accessType inputOnly or inputOutput.
