Method Detail

getMetadata

X3DMetadataObject getMetadata()

Provide X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DNode

Returns:

value of metadata field

X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Metadata Nodes

setMetadata

X3DVertexAttributeNode setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)

Assign X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

X3DVertexAttributeNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Metadata Nodes

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named name.

Returns:

value of name field

setName

X3DVertexAttributeNode setName(java.lang.String newValue)

Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named name.

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the name field.

Returns:

X3DVertexAttributeNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setDEF

X3DVertexAttributeNode setDEF(java.lang.String newValue)

Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named DEF.

Note that setting the DEF value clears the USE value.

Specified by:

setDEF in interface X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setDEF in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

X3DVertexAttributeNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setUSE

X3DVertexAttributeNode setUSE(java.lang.String newValue)

Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

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 X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setUSE in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the USE field.

Returns:

X3DVertexAttributeNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setCssClass

X3DVertexAttributeNode setCssClass(java.lang.String newValue)

Assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named class.

Specified by:

setCssClass in interface X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setCssClass in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the class field.

Returns:

X3DVertexAttributeNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
