```
public class AnchorObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Anchor
```
X3D node tooltip: Anchor is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. When the user selects any of the geometry contained by the Anchor node, it jumps to another viewpoint or loads content (such as X3D, an image or HTML) specified by the url field. Loaded content completely replaces current content, if parameter is same window.
- Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
- Hint: see X3D Specification 20.2.1 Overview of pointing device sensors http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html#OverviewOfPointingDeviceSensors
- Hint: see X3D Specification 20.2.3 Activating and manipulating pointing device sensors http://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/pointingsensor.html#Activatingandmanipulating
Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile using the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.

    Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value). Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance. Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute. Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.
    
    Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.
    
    WARNING: invoking the setUSE() method resets all other fields to their default values and also releases all child nodes.
    
    WARNING: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.

    Specified by:
    
    setIS in class X3DConcreteNode
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - is new value for the description field.
    
    Returns:
    
    AnchorObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same node object).

public ISObject getIS()
```
    Provide field named IS for establishing IS/connect field connections between ProtoInterface fields and internal ProtoBody nodes. The IS statement connects node fields defined inside a ProtoBody declaration back to corresponding ProtoInterface fields.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getIS in class X3DConcreteNode
    
    Returns:

  - setUSE
```
public AnchorObject setUSE(AnchorObject DEFnode)
```
    Assign a USE reference to another DEF node of same node type, similar to setUSE(String).
    
    WARNING: note that the setUSE() method resets all other fields to their default values and also releases all child nodes.
    
    WARNING. no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.
    
    Parameters:
    
    DEFnode - must have a DEF value defined
    
    Returns:
    
    AnchorObject - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same node object).
