X3DChildNode, X3DNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface X3DBindableNode
extends X3DChildNode

Bindable nodes implement the binding stack, so that only one of each node type is active at a given time.

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.
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).

boolean	getIsBound()	Provide boolean value from outputOnly SFBool field named isBound.
X3DMetadataObject	getMetadata()	Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.
X3DBindableNode	setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)	Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Method Details

getBindTime

double getBindTime()

Provide double value in seconds from outputOnly SFTime field named bindTime.

Returns:

value of bindTime field

getIsBound

boolean getIsBound()

Provide boolean value from outputOnly SFBool field named isBound.

Returns:

value of isBound field

getMetadata

X3DMetadataObject getMetadata()

Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DChildNode

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DNode

Returns:

value of metadata field

setMetadata

X3DBindableNode setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)

Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DChildNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

X3DBindableNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
