public class GeoElevationGrid extends X3DConcreteNode implements GeoElevationGrid
GeoElevationGrid is a geometry node defining a rectangular height field, with default values for a 1m by 1m square at height 0.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. X3D node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] GeoElevationGrid is a geometry node defining a rectangular height field, with default values for a 1m by 1m square at height 0. Vertices corresponding to GeoElevationGrid height values define quadrilaterals, which are placed above or below a curved geospatial surface using geographic coordinates. Hint: the height array defines (xDimension-1)*(zDimension-1) quadrilaterals. Warning: generated quadrilaterals can be nonplanar. Tessellation splits quadrilaterals into triangles along seam starting at initial vertex of the quadrilateral and proceeding to opposite vertex. Hint: positive direction for normal of each triangle is on same side of the quadrilateral. Triangles are defined either counterclockwise or clockwise depending on value of ccw field. Hint: GeoElevationGrid can contain GeoOrigin, Color|ColorRGBA, Normal and TextureCoordinate nodes. Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.

Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.
