public interface X3DInterpolatorNode
extends X3DChildNode

Interpolator nodes are designed for linear keyframed animation. Interpolators are driven by an input key ranging [0..1] and produce corresponding piecewise-linear output functions.

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).

Method Details

getKey

float[] getKey()

Provide array of float results from inputOutput MFFloat field named key.

Returns:

value of key field

setKey

X3DInterpolatorNode setKey(float[] newValue)

Accessor method to assign float array to inputOutput MFFloat field named key.

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the key field.

Returns:

X3DInterpolatorNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

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

X3DInterpolatorNode 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:

X3DInterpolatorNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
