Interface TextureBackground

All Superinterfaces:
X3DBackgroundNode, X3DBindableNode, X3DChildNode, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
TextureBackground
public interface TextureBackground extends X3DBackgroundNode
TextureBackground simulates ground and sky, using vertical arrays of wraparound color values, TextureBackground can also provide backdrop texture images on all six sides.

TextureBackground node tooltip: [X3DBackgroundNode] TextureBackground simulates ground and sky, using vertical arrays of wraparound color values, TextureBackground can also provide backdrop texture images 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.
  • Warning: each of the child ImageTexture or PixelTexture nodes must have unique containerField values for backTexture, bottomTexture, frontTexture, leftTexture, rightTexture, or topTexture.
  • Hint: authors can have LoadSensor nodes receive notifications and send reporting events when background texture node(s) are loaded.

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