Interface ProgramShader

All Superinterfaces:
X3DAppearanceChildNode, X3DNode, X3DShaderNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
ProgramShader
public interface ProgramShader extends X3DShaderNode
ProgramShader contains no field declarations and no plain-text source code.

ProgramShader node tooltip: (X3D version 3.1 or later) [X3DShaderNode] ProgramShader defines a shader that consists of one or more individually programmable, self-contained pieces. ProgramShader contains IS/connect and programs [ShaderProgram] nodes.
  • Warning: ProgramShader contains no field declarations and no plain-text CDATA block source code.
  • Hint: apply default containerField='shaders' when parent node is Appearance.

Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

  • Method Details

      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the activate field.
      Returns:
      ProgramShader - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getIsSelected

      boolean getIsSelected()
      Provide boolean value from outputOnly SFBool field named isSelected.

      Tooltip: isSelected indicates this shader instance is selected for use by browser

    • getIsValid

      Tooltip: The language field indicates to the X3D player which shading language is used. The language field may be used to optionally determine the language type if no MIME-type information is available.
      • Hint: recognized values include "Cg" "GLSL" "HLSL".
      Specified by:
      getLanguage in interface X3DShaderNode
      Returns:
      value of language field

    • setLanguage
