All Implemented Interfaces:

X3DNode, Appearance, X3DAppearanceNode

public class Appearance
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Appearance

Appearance specifies the visual properties of geometry by containing the Material, ImageTexture/MovieTexture/PixelTexture, FillProperties, LineProperties, programmable shader nodes (ComposedShader, PackagedShader, ProgramShader) and TextureTransform 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: [X3DAppearanceNode] Appearance specifies the visual properties of geometry by containing the Material, ImageTexture/MovieTexture/PixelTexture, FillProperties, LineProperties, programmable shader nodes (ComposedShader, PackagedShader, ProgramShader) and TextureTransform nodes. Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Interchange profile hint: only Material and ImageTexture children are allowed. Hint: DEF/USE copies of a single node can provide a similar "look + feel" style for related shapes in a scene. Hint: Advanced uses can contain MultiTexture, MultiTextureTransform/TextureTransformMatrix3D/TextureTransform3D, ComposedShader/PackagedShader/ProgramShader, ComposedTexture3D/ImageTexture3D/PixelTexture3D, or ComposedCubeMapTexture/GeneratedCubeMapTexture/ImageCubeMapTexture.

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.
