All Known Implementing Classes:
Background

public interface Background extends X3DBackgroundNode
Background simulates ground and sky, using vertical arrays of wraparound color values.

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: [X3DBackgroundNode] Background simulates ground and sky, using vertical arrays of wraparound color values. Background can also provide url addresses for backdrop textures on all six sides. Hint: Background, Fog, GeoViewpoint, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground and Viewpoint are bindable nodes, meaning that no more than one of each node type can be active at a given time. Warning: results are undefined if a bindable node (Background, Fog, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground, Viewpoint) is a contained descendant node of either LOD or Switch. Avoid this authoring pattern. Hint: Background node is not sensed by LoadSensor due to node typing and multiple-image ambiguity, alternatively utilize TextureBackground node with multiple ImageTexture nodes each referenced inside LoadSensor.

      Returns:
      Background - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
    • getTopUrl

      String[] getTopUrl()
      Provide array of String results from inputOutput MFString field named topUrl.

      Tooltip: Image background panorama between ground/sky backdrop and scene's geometry. Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks "<a href="https://www.web3d.org" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org</a>" "<a href="https://www.web3d.org/about" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/about</a>" "etc." Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is &quot; (which is an example of a character entity). Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches. Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character. Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless. *
      Returns:
      value of topUrl field
    • setTopUrl

      Background setTopUrl(String[] newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String array to inputOutput MFString field named topUrl.

      Tooltip: Image background panorama between ground/sky backdrop and scene's geometry. Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks "<a href="https://www.web3d.org" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org</a>" "<a href="https://www.web3d.org/about" target="_blank">https://www.web3d.org/about</a>" "etc." Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is &quot; (which is an example of a character entity).

Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character. Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless. *
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the topUrl field.
      Returns:
      Background - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
    • getTransparency

      float getTransparency()
      Provide float value within allowed range of [0,1] from inputOutput SFFloat field named transparency.

      Tooltip: [0,1] how "clear" the background is, allows underlying page to show through: 1.0 is completely transparent, 0.0 is completely opaque. Interchange profile hint: transparency &lt; .5 opaque, transparency &gt; .5 transparent. *
      Specified by:

      Returns:
      value of transparency field
