public class CoordinateObject

implements Coordinate

X3D node tooltip: [X3DCoordinateNode] Coordinate builds geometry by defining a set of 3D coordinate (triplet) point values. Coordinate is used by IndexedFaceSet, IndexedLineSet, LineSet, PointSet, Triangle* and IndexedTriangle* nodes. Coordinate is also used by HAnimHumanoid, HAnimSegment, and various Nurbs nodes. *


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.
