Interface MultiTextureCoordinate

All Superinterfaces:

X3DGeometricPropertyNode, X3DNode, X3DTextureCoordinateNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

MultiTextureCoordinateObject

public interface MultiTextureCoordinate
extends X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Abstract node interface, defined by X3D specification to support X3D Java interoperability.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DTextureCoordinateNode] MultiTextureCoordinate contains multiple TextureCoordinate or TextureCoordinateGenerator nodes, for use by a parent polygonal geometry node such as IndexedFaceSet or a Triangle* node. Each of the contained texture coordinate nodes correspond to the multiple texture nodes contained in a sibling Appearance/MultiTexture node.

• Hint: add Shape and then polgyonal/planar geometry before adding MultiTextureCoordinate.
• Hint: Texture mapping

• Warning: the number of textures to be blended may have a significant impact on performance, depending on available graphics hardware capabilities.
• Hint: multitexturing is accomplished using MultiTexture, MultiTextureCoordinate and MultiTextureTransform nodes.

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

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Returns:

value of metadata field

See Also:

setMetadata

MultiTextureCoordinate 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

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

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

X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Metadata Nodes

getTexCoord

X3DNode[] getTexCoord()

Provide array of X3DNode results (using an array consisting of properly typed nodes or ProtoInstanceObjects) from inputOutput MFNode field texCoord.

Tooltip: [X3DTextureCoordinateNode] Zero or more contained TextureCoordinate or TextureCoordinateGenerator nodes that specify texture coordinates for the different texture channels, used for texture mapping onto corresponding geometry.

• Warning: MultiTextureCoordinate may not contain another MultiTextureCoordinate node.

Warning: according to X3D Unified Object Model (X3DUOM), acceptable node types are limited to X3DTextureCoordinateNode.

Returns:

value of texCoord field

See Also:

X3DTextureCoordinateNode

setTexCoord

MultiTextureCoordinate setTexCoord(X3DNode[] newValue)

Assign X3DNode array (using an array consisting of properly typed nodes or ProtoInstanceObjects) to inputOutput MFNode field texCoord.

Tooltip: [X3DTextureCoordinateNode] Zero or more contained TextureCoordinate or TextureCoordinateGenerator nodes that specify texture coordinates for the different texture channels, used for texture mapping onto corresponding geometry. Warning: MultiTextureCoordinate may not contain another MultiTextureCoordinate node.

Note: according to X3D Unified Object Model (X3DUOM), acceptable node types are limited to X3DTextureCoordinateNode.

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the texCoord field.

Returns:

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

addTexCoord

void addTexCoord(X3DNode[] newValue)

Add array of child texCoord nodes to array of existing nodes (if any).

Note: according to X3D Unified Object Model (X3DUOM), acceptable node types are limited to X3DTextureCoordinateNode.

Parameters:

newValue - is new value array to be appended the texCoord field.

setTexCoord

void setTexCoord(X3DNode newValue)

Set single child texCoord node, replacing prior array of existing nodes (if any).

Parameters:

newValue - is new node for the texCoord field

setDEF

MultiTextureCoordinate 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 X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setDEF in interface X3DNode

Specified by:

setDEF in interface X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

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

setUSE

MultiTextureCoordinate 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 X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setUSE in interface X3DNode

Specified by:

setUSE in interface X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the USE field.

Returns:

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

setCssClass

MultiTextureCoordinate 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 X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setCssClass in interface X3DNode

Specified by:

setCssClass in interface X3DTextureCoordinateNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the class field.

Returns:

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