All Implemented Interfaces:: X3DChildNode, X3DNode, NormalInterpolator, X3DInterpolatorNode

public class NormalInterpolatorObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements NormalInterpolator

NormalInterpolator generates a series of normal (perpendicular) 3-tuple SFVec3f values.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DInterpolatorNode] NormalInterpolator generates a series of normal (perpendicular) 3-tuple SFVec3f values. Each vector value has unit length, i.e. the set of allowed vectors describes the surface of a unit sphere. Authors can ROUTE value_changed output events to a Normal node's vector field, or to another 3-tuple SFVec3f field.

Hint: typical input connection is ROUTE someTimeSensorDEF.fraction_changed TO thisInterpolatorDEF.set_fraction
Hint: typical output connection is ROUTE thisInterpolatorDEF.value_changed TO someDestinationNodeDEF.set_someAttribute.
Hint: example scenes and authoring assets at http://x3dgraphics.com/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter07EventAnimationInterpolation

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.
