    • containerField_ALTERNATE_VALUES

      public java.lang.String[] containerField_ALTERNATE_VALUES

      X3D Scene Authoring Hints: containerField

  • Constructor Details

  • Method Details

    • isNode

      public static final boolean isNode()
      Utility method to indicate whether this element is an X3D Graphics node (implementing X3DConcreteNode), returns true.

      Returns:
      whether this element is an X3D Graphics node: true
      See Also:
      X3DConcreteNode, X3D Abstract Specification, Terms and definitions: node

    • isStatement

      public static final boolean isStatement()
      Utility method to indicate whether this element is an X3D Graphics statement (implementing X3DConcreteStatement), returns false.

      Returns:
      whether this element is an X3D Graphics statement: false
      See Also:
      X3DConcreteStatement, CommentsBlock, X3D Abstract Specification: 7.2.5 Abstract X3D structure

    • initialize

      public void initialize()
      Initialize all member variables to default values.

    • getDEF

      public java.lang.String getDEF()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named DEF.

      Tooltip: DEF defines a unique ID name for this node, referenceable by other nodes.
      • Hint: descriptive DEF names improve clarity and help document a model.
      • Hint: well-defined names can simplify design and debugging through improved author understanding.
      Returns:
      value of DEF field
      See Also:
      X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

    • getUSE

      public java.lang.String getUSE()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named USE.

      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: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.
      Returns:
      value of USE field
      See Also:
      X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

    • isUSE

      public boolean isUSE()
      Utility method to indicate whether this element is a USE reference to another previously defined element (which means other fields must be empty).

      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: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.
      Returns:
      whether this node is a USE reference

      X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

    • getCssClass

      public java.lang.String getCssClass()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named class.

      Tooltip: The class attribute is a space-separated list of classes, reserved for use by CSS cascading stylesheets.

      Returns:
      value of class field
      See Also:
      W3C Cascading Style Sheets

    • setDEF

      public abstract X3DConcreteNode setDEF​(java.lang.String DEFlabel)
