Fog (X3DJSAIL, X3D Java Scene Access Interface Library)

All Superinterfaces:

X3DBindableNode, X3DChildNode, X3DFogObject, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

FogObject
```
public interface Fog
extends X3DBindableNode, X3DFogObject
```
Abstract node interface, defined by X3D specification to support X3D Java interoperability.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DBindableNode,X3DFogObject] Fog simulates atmospheric effects by blending distant objects with fog color.
- Hint: Background, Fog, GeoViewpoint, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground and Viewpoint are bindable nodes, meaning that no more than one of each node type can be active at a given time.
- Warning: results are undefined if a bindable node (Background, Fog, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground, Viewpoint) is a contained descendant node of either LOD or Switch.
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

    Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named DEF.
    
    Tooltip: DEF defines a unique ID name for this node, referenceable by other nodes. Hint: descriptive DEF names improve clarity and help document a model. Hint: well-defined names can simplify design and debugging through improved author understanding. Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Naming Conventions http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#NamingConventions
    
    Note that setting the DEF value clears the USE value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDEF in interface X3DBindableNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDEF in interface X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDEF in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the DEF field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Fog - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setUSE
```
Fog setUSE(java.lang.String newValue)
```
    Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.
    
    Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value). Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance. Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute. Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.
    
    Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.
    
    Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.
    
    Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUSE in interface X3DBindableNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUSE in interface X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUSE in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the USE field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Fog - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setCssClass
```
Fog setCssClass(java.lang.String newValue)
```
    Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named class.
    
    Tooltip: The class attribute is a space-separated list of classes, reserved for use by CSS cascading stylesheets. Warning: currently the class attribute is only supported in XML encoding of X3D scenes. Hint: W3C Cascading Style Sheets https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCssClass in interface X3DBindableNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCssClass in interface X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCssClass in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the class field.
    
    Returns:
