All Implemented Interfaces:

X3DNode, Appearance, X3DAppearanceNode
```
public class AppearanceObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Appearance
```
X3D node tooltip: [X3DAppearanceNode] Appearance specifies the visual properties of geometry by containing the Material, ImageTexture/MovieTexture/PixelTexture, FillProperties, LineProperties, programmable shader nodes (ComposedShader, PackagedShader, ProgramShader) and TextureTransform nodes.
- Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Interchange profile hint: only Material and ImageTexture children are allowed.
- Hint: DEF/USE copies of a single node can provide a similar "look + feel" style for related shapes in a scene.
- Hint: Advanced uses can contain MultiTexture, MultiTextureTransform/TextureTransformMatrix3D/TextureTransform3D, ComposedShader/PackagedShader/ProgramShader, ComposedTexture3D/ImageTexture3D/PixelTexture3D, or ComposedCubeMapTexture/GeneratedCubeMapTexture/ImageCubeMapTexture.

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.

    Recursive method to provide object reference to node or statement by name attribute, if found as part of this element or in a contained element. Elements with name fields include meta, Metadata* nodes, field/fieldValue, ProtoDeclare/ExternProtoDeclare/ProtoInstance, CAD and HAnim nodes.
    
    Warning: first start with findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() to check entire model document.
    
    Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same name, this method does not handle that case.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findElementByNameValue in class X3DConcreteElement
    
    Parameters:
    
    nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
    
    Returns:
    
    object reference to found element, null otherwise

    Parameters:
    
    nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
    
    elementName - identifies the element of interest (meta MetadataString ProtoDeclare CADassembly ProtoInstance HAnimHumanoid etc.)
    
    Returns:
    
    object reference to found element, null otherwise
    
    See Also:

```
public boolean hasElementByNameValue(java.lang.String nameValue,
                                     java.lang.String elementName)
```
    Recursive method to determine whether node or statement with given name attribute is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.
    
    Parameters:
    
    nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
    
    elementName - identifies the element of interest (meta MetadataString ProtoDeclare CADassembly ProtoInstance HAnimHumanoid etc.)
    
    Returns:
    
    whether node is found
    
    See Also:
    
    findElementByNameValue(String, String)
  - findNodeByDEF
```
public X3DConcreteNode findNodeByDEF(java.lang.String DEFvalue)
```
    Recursive method to provide object reference to node by DEF, if found as this node or in a contained node.
    
    Warning: first start with findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() to check entire model document.
    
    Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same DEF, this method does not handle that case.
    
    Specified by:
    
    findNodeByDEF in class X3DConcreteElement
    
    Parameters:
    
    DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
    
    Returns:
    
    object reference to found node, null otherwise
    
    See Also:
    
    findElementByNameValue(String), X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorSceneObject(), X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3DObject()
  - hasNodeByDEF
```
public boolean hasNodeByDEF(java.lang.String DEFvalue)
```
    Recursive method to determine whether node with DEFvalue is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.
    
    Parameters:
    
    DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
    
    Returns:
    
    whether node is found
    
    See Also:
    
    findNodeByDEF(String)
  - validate
```
public java.lang.String validate()
```
    Recursive method to validate this element plus all contained nodes and statements, using both datatype-specification value checks and regular expression (regex) checking of corresponding string values.
    
    Specified by:
    
    validate in class X3DConcreteElement
    
    Returns:
    
    validation results (if any)
