public class LinePickSensorObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements LinePickSensor
LinePickSensor uses one or more pickingGeometry line segments to compute intersections with pickTarget shapes.

X3D node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DPickSensorNode] LinePickSensor uses one or more pickingGeometry line segments to compute intersections with pickTarget shapes. As each line intersection generates a known point in space, useful event information is returned including normal, geometry and texCoord values.
  • Hint: sort order for line picking is based on each pair of coordinates that defining a line segment, with first declared vertex of the segment defined to be the start of the line to which the intersection points are closest.
  • Hint: when the picking line segment intersects a coplanar polygon, computed intersection point(s) are illustrated in Figure 38.1 https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/picking.html#f-LineIntersection
  • Hint: picking is performed between rendered frames of the event model. An author sets up the picking request in one frame by placing a LinePickSensor in the desired location. At the start of the next frame, any picking intersections are reported by the pick sensor.
  • Hint: picking notification is performed at the start of the frame for all enabled pick sensors once all other sensors are processed.
  • Hint: event timing details are explained in X3D Specification 4.4.8.3 Execution model https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning: order of contained nodes is significant, single pickingGeometry node must precede pickTarget node array.
  • Hint: IndexedLineSet or Lineset can be used for pickingGeometry 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.

    • getObjectType

      public java.lang.String[] getObjectType()
      Provide array of String enumeration results with quoted value(s) ["ALL","NONE","TERRAIN",...] from inputOutput MFString field named objectType.

      Tooltip: The objectType field specifies a set of labels used in the picking process. Each string specified is treated as an independent label that needs to be matched against the same type in one of the pick sensor instances. Example: labeling a PickableGroup with the objectType value "WATER" and then attempting to intersect a pick sensor with objectType value "GROUND" fails since the objectType values do not match. Example: the special value "ALL" means that each node is available for picking regardless of the type specified by the pick sensor. Example: the special value "NONE" effectively disables all picking for this node and is the equivalent of setting the pickable field of the corresponding PickableGroup to false.
      • Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.
      • Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so "separate each individual string" "by using quote marks".
