public interface Inline
extends X3DChildNode, X3DBoundedObject, X3DUrlObject
```
Abstract node interface, defined by X3D specification to support X3D Java interoperability.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DBoundedObject,X3DUrlObject] Inline can load another X3D or VRML model into the current scene via url. Inline is an X3DBoundedObject node that has bounding-box dimensions.
- Hint: you cannot ROUTE values into an Inline scene, use IMPORT/EXPORT (or ExternProtoDeclare and ProtoInstance) instead.

- Hint: apply containerField='watchList' when parent node is LoadSensor.
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

- Method Detail
  - getBboxCenter
```
float[] getBboxCenter()
```
    Provide array of 3-tuple float results from initializeOnly SFVec3f field named bboxCenter.
    
    Tooltip: Bounding box center accompanies bboxSize and provides an optional hint for bounding box position offset from origin of local coordinate system.
    - Hint: precomputation and inclusion of bounding box information can speed up the initialization of large detailed models, with a corresponding cost of increased file size.
    - Hint: X3D Architecture, 10.2.2 Bounding boxes
      http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/group.html#BoundingBoxes
    Specified by:
    
    getBboxCenter in interface X3DBoundedObject
    
    Returns:
    
    value of bboxCenter field
  - setBboxCenter
```
Inline setBboxCenter(float[] newValue)
```
    Assign 3-tuple float array to initializeOnly SFVec3f field named bboxCenter.
    
    Tooltip: Bounding box center accompanies bboxSize and provides an optional hint for bounding box position offset from origin of local coordinate system. Hint: precomputation and inclusion of bounding box information can speed up the initialization of large detailed models, with a corresponding cost of increased file size. Hint: X3D Architecture, 10.2.2 Bounding boxes http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/group.html#BoundingBoxes

    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the bboxCenter field.

```
    Provide array of 3-tuple float results within allowed range of [0,infinity), or default value [-1 -1 -1], from initializeOnly SFVec3f field named bboxSize.

  - getUrl
```
java.lang.String[] getUrl()
```
    Provide array of String results from inputOutput MFString field named url.
    
    Tooltip: Address of X3D world to load into current scene.
    - Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks
      "http://www.web3d.org"
      "http://www.web3d.org/about" "etc."
    - Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is " (which is an example of a character entity).
    - Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches.
    - Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character.
    - Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, urls
      http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#urls

```
Inline setUrl(java.lang.String[] newValue)
```
    Assign String array to inputOutput MFString field named url.
    
    Tooltip: Address of X3D world to load into current scene. Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks "http://www.web3d.org" "http://www.web3d.org/about" "etc." Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is " (which is an example of a character entity). Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches. Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character. Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, urls http://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#urls
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUrl in interface X3DUrlObject
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the url field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Inline - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setDEF
```
Inline setDEF(java.lang.String newValue)
```
    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 X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDEF in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the DEF field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Inline - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setUSE
```
Inline 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 X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUSE in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the USE field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Inline - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setCssClass
```
Inline 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 X3DChildNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCssClass in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the class field.
    
    Returns:
    
    Inline - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
