All Known Implementing Classes:: Anchor

public interface Anchor extends X3DGroupingNode, X3DUrlObject

Anchor is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes.

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. X3D node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DUrlObject,X3DVisibleObject] Anchor is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. When the user selects any of the geometry contained by the Anchor node, the browser either jumps to another viewpoint (similar to HTML bookmark) or else loads content (such as X3D, an image or HTML) specified by the url field. Newly loaded content completely replaces current content, if the value of parameter field indicates using the same window. Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Hint: when parent node is LoadSensor, apply containerField='children' (X3Dv4) or containerField='watchList' (X3Dv3). <a href="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#fieldNameChanges" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#fieldNameChanges</a> *
