Text is a 2D (flat) geometry node that can contain multiple lines of string values.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] Text is a 2D (flat) geometry node that can contain multiple lines of string values. Layout and styling is controlled by a contained FontStyle node.
  • Hint: String (computer science) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)
  • Hint: full internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n) features are available for any written language.
  • Hint: relates to Internationalization (i18n) http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/i18n
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
  • Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content.
  • Warning: Text node requires X3D profile='Immersive' or <component name='Text' level='1'/>

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.

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

      Tooltip: DEF defines a unique ID name for this node, referenceable by other nodes.

      Note that setting the DEF value clears the USE value.
      Specified by:
      setDEF in class X3DConcreteNode
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the DEF field.
      Returns:
      TextObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • setDEF

      public TextObject setDEF​(SFStringObject newValue)
      Assign typed object value to SFString DEF field, similar to setDEF(String).
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the DEF field.
      Returns:
      TextObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getUSE

      public java.lang.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 TextObject setUSE​(java.lang.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:
      TextObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • setUSE

      public TextObject setUSE​(SFStringObject newValue)
      Assign typed object value to SFString USE field, similar to setUSE(String).
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the USE field.
      Returns:
      TextObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

      Assign a USE reference to another DEF node of same node type, similar to setUSE(String).

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