Interface GeoPositionInterpolator

All Superinterfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DInterpolatorNode, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
GeoPositionInterpolator
public interface GeoPositionInterpolator extends X3DInterpolatorNode
GeoPositionInterpolator animates objects within a geographic coordinate system.

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. GeoPositionInterpolator node tooltip: [X3DInterpolatorNode] GeoPositionInterpolator animates objects within a geographic coordinate system. GeoPositionInterpolator can contain a GeoOrigin node.

  • Hint: typical output connection is ROUTE thisInterpolatorDEF.value_changed TO someDestinationNodeDEF.set_someAttribute.
