public class VolumePickSensor
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements VolumePickSensor

VolumePickSensor tests picking intersections using the pickingGeometry against the pickTarget geometry volume.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. VolumePickSensor node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DPickSensorNode] VolumePickSensor tests picking intersections using the pickingGeometry against the pickTarget geometry volume.

• Hint: sort order is based on distance between centers of the bounds of the picking geometry and the picked geometry.
• Warning: pickingGeometry volume is defined by the convex hull of the enclosing planes of the provided X3DGeometryNode. If the provided volume is not manifold, pick results are undefined.
• Hint: a pick is successful if any vertex of the pickTarget geometry intersects the volume defined by the pickingGeometry.
• Hint: Sorting is defined based on distance between the centers of the bounds of the picking geometry and the picked geometry.
• Hint: picking is performed between rendered frames of the event model. An author sets up the picking request in one frame by placing a LinePickSensor in the desired location. At the start of the next frame, any picking intersections are reported by the pick sensor.
• Hint: picking notification is performed at the start of the frame for all enabled pick sensors once all other sensors are processed.
• Hint: event timing details are explained in X3D Specification 4.4.8.3 Execution model https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS//Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning: order of contained nodes is significant, single pickingGeometry node must precede pickTarget node array.
• Hint: any geometry can be used for pickingGeometry node.

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.

getObjectType

public String[] getObjectType()

Example: the special value "ALL" means that each node is available for picking regardless of the type specified by the pick sensor. Example: the special value "NONE" effectively disables all picking for this node and is the equivalent of setting the pickable field of the corresponding PickableGroup to false.

• Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

VolumePickSensor - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setDEF

public VolumePickSensor setDEF(SFString newValue)

Assign typed object value to SFString DEF field, similar to setDEF(String).

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

VolumePickSensor - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

getUSE

public String getUSE()

Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value).

• Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance.
• Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute.
• Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.

Overrides:

getUSE in class X3DConcreteNode

Returns:

value of USE field

setUSE

public final VolumePickSensor setUSE(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value).

• Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance.
• Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute.
• Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.

Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.

Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.

Specified by:

setUSE in class X3DConcreteNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the USE field.

Returns:

VolumePickSensor - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
