Class TransformObject

java.lang.Object
All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode, Transform, X3DBoundedObject, X3DGroupingNode

public class TransformObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Transform
Transform is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DVisibleObject] Transform is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. Transform translates, orients and scales child geometry within the local world coordinate system.
  • Hint: each transformation creates a new coordinate system relative to the parent coordinate system.
  • Hint: +Y axis is the up direction. (Similarly some scenes may consider +X is North and +Z is East.)
  • Hint: best authoring approach is to keep +Y axis pointing towards local up direction, supporting scene composability and effective navigation response (which is based on gravity direction).
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
  • Hint: translation/rotation/scaling field attributes can be defined in any order in the scene. The applied order of translation/rotation/scaling transformation-matrix operations remains consistent.
  • Hint: authors can modify order of translation/rotation/scaling operations by splitting them into separate nested parent/child Transform nodes.
  • Warning: Transform contained by CADFace can only hold a single LOD or Shape node.
  • Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Coordinate Systems https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#CoordinateSystems
  • Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Scale Factors and Unit Conversions https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#Scale
  • Hint: apply containerField='shape' if parent node is CADFace.

Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.

    • findElementByNameValue

      public X3DConcreteElement findElementByNameValue​(java.lang.String nameValue)
      Recursive method to provide object reference to node or statement by name attribute, if found as part of this element or in a contained element. Elements with name fields include meta, Metadata* nodes, field/fieldValue, ProtoDeclare/ExternProtoDeclare/ProtoInstance, CAD and HAnim nodes.

      Warning: first start with findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() to check entire model document.

      Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same name, this method does not handle that case.
      Specified by:
      findElementByNameValue in class X3DConcreteElement
      Parameters:
      nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
      Returns:
      object reference to found element, null otherwise

      findNodeByDEF(String), X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorSceneObject(), X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3DObject()
    • findElementByNameValue

      public X3DConcreteElement findElementByNameValue​(java.lang.String nameValue, java.lang.String elementName)
      Recursive method to provide object reference to node or statement by name attribute, if found as part of this element or in a contained element. Elements with name fields include meta, Metadata* nodes, field/fieldValue, ProtoDeclare/ExternProtoDeclare/ProtoInstance, CAD and HAnim nodes.

      Warning: first start with findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() to check entire model document.

      Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same name, this method does not handle that case.
      Specified by:
      findElementByNameValue in class X3DConcreteElement
      Parameters:
      nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
      elementName - identifies the element of interest (meta MetadataString ProtoDeclare CADassembly ProtoInstance HAnimHumanoid etc.)
      Returns:
      object reference to found element, null otherwise

    • hasElementByNameValue

      public boolean hasElementByNameValue​(java.lang.String nameValue, java.lang.String elementName)
      Recursive method to determine whether node or statement with given name attribute is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.
      Parameters:
      nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
      elementName - identifies the element of interest (meta MetadataString ProtoDeclare CADassembly ProtoInstance HAnimHumanoid etc.)
      Returns:
      whether node is found

      findElementByNameValue(String, String)
    • findNodeByDEF

      public X3DConcreteNode findNodeByDEF​(java.lang.String DEFvalue)
      Recursive method to provide object reference to node by DEF, if found as this node or in a contained node.

      Warning: first start with findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() to check entire model document.

      Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same DEF, this method does not handle that case.
      Specified by:
      findNodeByDEF in class X3DConcreteElement
      Parameters:
      DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
      Returns:
      object reference to found node, null otherwise
      See Also:
      findElementByNameValue(String), X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorSceneObject(), X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3DObject()
    • hasNodeByDEF

      public boolean hasNodeByDEF​(java.lang.String DEFvalue)
      Recursive method to determine whether node with DEFvalue is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.
      Parameters:
      DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
      Returns:
      whether node is found

    • validate

      public java.lang.String validate()
      Recursive method to validate this element plus all contained nodes and statements, using both datatype-specification value checks and regular expression (regex) checking of corresponding string values.
      Specified by:
      validate in class X3DConcreteElement
      Returns:
      validation results (if any)
