public class PointPickSensor
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements PointPickSensor

PointPickSensor tests one or more pickingGeometry points in space as lying inside the provided pickTarget geometry.

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: (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 <a href="https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS//Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS//Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning</a>: 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.

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.

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". *

setDEF

public final PointPickSensor setDEF(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named DEF.

Tooltip: DEF defines a unique ID name for this node, referenceable by other nodes. Hint: descriptive DEF names improve clarity and help document a model. Hint: well-defined names can simplify design and debugging through improved author understanding.

Note that setting the DEF value clears the USE value.

Specified by:

setDEF in class X3DConcreteNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

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

setDEF

public PointPickSensor setDEF(SFString newValue)

Assign typed object value to SFString DEF field, similar to setDEF(String). // #0.e

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

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

getUSE

public String getUSE()

Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value). Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance. Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute. Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene. *

Overrides:

getUSE in class X3DConcreteNode

Returns:

value of USE field

See Also:

• X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

setUSE

public final PointPickSensor setUSE(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value). Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance. Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute. Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene. *


Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.

Warning: invoking 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.

Specified by:

setUSE in class X3DConcreteNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the USE field.
