Interface X3DParametricGeometryNode

All Superinterfaces:

X3DGeometryNode, X3DNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

NurbsCurve, NurbsPatchSurface, NurbsSweptSurface, NurbsSwungSurface, NurbsTrimmedSurface, X3DNurbsSurfaceGeometryNode

public interface X3DParametricGeometryNode
extends X3DGeometryNode

Base type for all geometry node types that are created parametrically and use control points to describe the final shape of the surface.

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

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 X3DGeometryNode

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DNode

Returns:

value of metadata field

setMetadata

X3DParametricGeometryNode 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 X3DGeometryNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

X3DParametricGeometryNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
