Class PeriodicWave

All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode, PeriodicWave, X3DSoundNode

public class PeriodicWave extends X3DConcreteNode implements PeriodicWave
PeriodicWave defines a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the output of an Oscillator.

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 4.0 draft) [X3DNode] PeriodicWave defines a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the output of an Oscillator.#10;
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.
