All Superinterfaces:: X3DBoundedObject, X3DChildNode, X3DGroupingNode, X3DNode, X3DPickableObject

All Known Implementing Classes:: PickableGroup

public interface PickableGroup extends X3DGroupingNode, X3DPickableObject

PickableGroup is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes.

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. PickableGroup node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DGroupingNode,X3DPickableObject,X3DVisibleObject] PickableGroup is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. PickableGroup contains children that are marked as having a given classification of picking types, and can also enable or disable picking of the children.

Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
Hint: content must be visible to be collidable and to be pickable.

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

- getObjectType
  String[] getObjectType()
  
  Provide array of String enumeration results with quoted value(s) ["ALL","NONE","TERRAIN",...] from inputOutput MFString field named objectType.
  
  Tooltip: The objectType field specifies a set of labels used in the picking process. Each string specified is treated as an independent label that needs to be matched against the same type in one of the pick sensor instances. Example: labeling a PickableGroup with the objectType value "WATER" and then attempting to intersect a pick sensor with objectType value "GROUND" fails since the objectType values do not match. Example: the special value "ALL" means that each node is available for picking regardless of the type specified by the pick sensor. Example: the special value "NONE" effectively disables all picking for this node and is the equivalent of setting the pickable field to false.
  
  Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.
  
  Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so "separate each individual string" "by using quote marks".
  
  Returns:
  
  value of objectType field
- setObjectType
  PickableGroup setObjectType(String[] newValue)
  
  Accessor method to assign String enumeration array (""ALL"" | ""NONE"" | ""TERRAIN"") to inputOutput MFString field named objectType.
