public class Transform
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Transform

Transform is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes.

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: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DVisibleObject] Transform is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. Transform translates, orients and scales child geometry within the local world coordinate system. Hint: each transformation creates a new coordinate system relative to the parent coordinate system. Hint: +Y axis is the up direction. (Similarly some scenes may consider +X is North and +Z is East.) Hint: best authoring approach is to keep +Y axis pointing towards local up direction, supporting scene composability and effective navigation response (which is based on gravity direction). Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Hint: translation/rotation/scaling field attributes can be defined in any order in the scene. The applied order of translation/rotation/scaling transformation-matrix operations remains consistent. Hint: authors can modify order of translation/rotation/scaling operations by splitting them into separate nested parent/child Transform nodes. Warning: Transform contained by CADFace can only hold a single LOD or Shape node.

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.
