setCssStyle

public final TriangleSet2D setCssStyle(String newValue)

Specified by:

setCssStyle in class X3DConcreteNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the style field.

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setCssStyle

public TriangleSet2D setCssStyle(SFString newValue)

Assign typed object value to SFString cssClass field, similar to setCssStyle(String).

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the style field.

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

setUSE

public TriangleSet2D setUSE(TriangleSet2D DEFnode)

Assign a USE reference to another DEF node of same node type, similar to setUSE(String).

Warning: note that 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.

Parameters:

DEFnode - must have a DEF value defined

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

addComments

public TriangleSet2D addComments(String newComment)

Add comment as String to contained commentsList.

Specified by:

addComments in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

newComment - initial value

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

See Also:

• X3D Architecture, clause 7.2.5.1 Organization

addComments

public TriangleSet2D addComments(String[] newComments)

Add comments as String[] array to contained commentsList.

Specified by:

addComments in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

newComments - array of comments

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive setAttribute method invocations).

addComments

public TriangleSet2D addComments(CommentsBlock newCommentsBlock)

Add CommentsBlock to contained commentsList.

Specified by:

addComments in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

newCommentsBlock - block of comments to add

Returns:

TriangleSet2D - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive setAttribute method invocations).

findElementByNameValue

public X3DConcreteElement findElementByNameValue(String nameValue)

Recursive method to provide object reference to node or statement by name attribute, if found as part of this element or in a contained element. Elements with name fields include meta, Metadata* nodes, field/fieldValue, ProtoDeclare/ExternProtoDeclare/ProtoInstance, CAD and HAnim nodes.

Warning: first start with findAncestorScene() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3D() to check entire model document.

Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same name, this method does not handle that case.

Specified by:

findElementByNameValue in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)

Returns:

object reference to found element, null otherwise

See Also:

• findNodeByDEF(String)
• X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorScene()
• X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3D()

findElementByNameValue

public X3DConcreteElement findElementByNameValue(String nameValue,
 String elementName)

Recursive method to provide object reference to node or statement by name attribute, if found as part of this element or in a contained element. Elements with name fields include meta, Metadata* nodes, field/fieldValue, ProtoDeclare/ExternProtoDeclare/ProtoInstance, CAD and HAnim nodes.

Warning: first start with findAncestorScene() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3D() to check entire model document.

Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same name, this method does not handle that case.

Specified by:

findElementByNameValue in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)
