public class PointPickSensor extends X3DConcreteNode implements PointPickSensor
PointPickSensor tests one or more pickingGeometry points in space as lying inside the provided pickTarget geometry.

PointPickSensor node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DPickSensorNode] PointPickSensor tests one or more pickingGeometry points in space as lying inside the provided pickTarget geometry. For each pickingGeometry PointSet coordinate point that lies inside the pickTarget geometry, a pickedPoint coordinate is returned along with a corresponding pickedGeometry node inside which the point lies.
  • Hint: because points represent an infinitely small location in space, sortOrder values CLOSEST and ALL_SORTED are defined to mean ANY and ALL respectively.
  • 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/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning: order of contained nodes is significant, single pickingGeometry node must precede pickTarget node array.
  • Hint: PointSet 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.

      Tooltip: defines whether the intersection test (i.e. pick) by this X3DPickSensorNode must match one or more objectType. Specifically MATCH_ANY means any match of objectType values is acceptable, MATCH_EVERY means that every objectType value in this node shall match an objectType value in the X3DPickableObject, and MATCH_ONLY_ONE means that one and only one objectType value can match. *

    • getObjectType

      public 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".
