Class MFNode

All Implemented Interfaces:
MField, MFNode, X3DField

public class MFNode extends X3DConcreteField implements MFNode
This utility class provides a concrete implementation corresponding to MFNode X3D field type.

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.
Package hint: This specification class is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI). MFNode specifies zero or more nodes; the default value of an MFNode field is the empty list.

Related field object: SFNode
