PointSet (X3DJSAIL, X3D Java Scene Access Interface Library)

All Superinterfaces:

X3DGeometryNode, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

PointSetObject
```
public interface PointSet
extends X3DGeometryNode
```
Abstract node interface, defined by X3D specification to support X3D Java interoperability.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] PointSet is a node that contains a set of colored 3D points, represented by contained Color|ColorRGBA and Coordinate|CoordinateDouble nodes.
- Hint: Point (geometry)
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)
- Hint: either values in a contained Color node, or else Material emissiveColor in corresponding Appearance node, are used for rendering lines and points.
- Warning: use a different color (or Material emissiveColor) than the Background color, otherwise geometry is invisible.
- Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
- Hint: each point is displayed independently, no other PointSet attributes for rendering are provided.
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

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.

```
    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 X3DGeometryNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setUSE in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the USE field.
    
    Returns:
    
    PointSet - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
  - setCssClass
```
PointSet 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 X3DGeometryNode
    
    Specified by:
    
    setCssClass in interface X3DNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the class field.
    
    Returns:
    
    PointSet - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
