Anchor |
[inherits X3DGroupingNode, implements X3DUrlObject]
Anchor is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. When the user selects any
of the geometry contained by the Anchor node, the browser either jumps to another
viewpoint (similar to HTML bookmark) or else loads content (such as X3D, an image
or HTML) specified by the url field.
Newly loaded content completely replaces current content, if the value of parameter
field indicates using the same window.
Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
Hint: apply containerField='watchList' when parent node is LoadSensor. |

| children |
[children accessType inputOutput, type MFNode array, empty list] [X3DChildNode]
Grouping nodes contain an ordered list of children nodes.
Hint: Each grouping node defines a coordinate space for its children, relative to the
coordinate space of its parent node. Thus transformations accumulate down the scene
graph hierarchy.
Hint: inputOnly MFNode addChildren field can append new X3DChildNode nodes via a ROUTE
connection, duplicate input nodes (i.e. matching DEF, USE values) are ignored.
Hint: inputOnly MFNode removeChildren field can remove nodes from the children list, unrecognized
input nodes (i.e. nonmatching DEF, USE values) are ignored.

| USE |
[USE type IDREF #IMPLIED]
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. |
| description |
[description accessType inputOutput, type SFString CDATA #IMPLIED]

[url accessType inputOutput, type MFString CDATA #IMPLIED]
Address of replacement world, or #ViewpointDEFName within the current scene, or
alternate Web resource, activated by the user selecting Shape geometry within the
Anchor children nodes.
Hint: jump to a world's internal viewpoint by appending viewpoint name (e.g. #ViewpointName,
someOtherCoolWorld.x3d#GrandTour).
Hint: jump to a local viewpoint by only using viewpoint name (e.g. #GrandTour).
Hint: binding a different Viewpoint triggers an isBound event that can initiate other
user-arrival reactions via event chains to interpolators or scripts.
Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by
quote marks "https://www.web3d.org" "https://www.web3d.org/about" "etc."
Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is " (which is an example of
a character entity).
Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important
for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches,
but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case
sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches.
Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character.

| bboxSize |
[bboxSize accessType initializeOnly, type SFVec3f CDATA "-1 -1 -1"] or [0,+∞)
Bounding box size is usually omitted, and can easily be calculated automatically
by an X3D player at scene-loading time with minimal computational cost. Bounding box
size can also be defined as an optional authoring hint that suggests an optimization
or constraint.
Hint: can be useful for collision computations or inverse-kinematics (IK) engines.

| containerField |
[containerField type NMTOKEN (children | watchList) "children"]
containerField is a field-label prefix indicating this node's field relationship
to its parent node, for example <Transform><Shape containerField='children'/></Transform>.
Hint: default containerField values for each node are correct in most cases, so the need
to override default containerField values is rare.
Hint: example values include containerField='geometry' for Box node, containerField='children'
for Group node, containerField='proxy' for hidden proxy shape within a Collision node,
etc.
Hint: containerField attribute is part of XML encoding for X3D scenes, and corresponds
to the always-declared field labels in the ClassicVRML and VRML97 file encodings.
Hint: USE node instances are allowed to have a containerField value that is different
than the corresponding DEF declaration of that node.

axisRotation determines local sensor coordinate system by rotating the local coordinate
system. |
| offset |
[offset accessType inputOutput, type SFFloat CDATA "0"]
Sends event and remembers last value sensed.
Warning: ROUTE connecting rotation_changed to set_offset creates a self-reinforcing positive
feedback loop and results in unmanageable response. |
| isActive |
[isActive accessType outputOnly, type SFBool #FIXED ""]
Select geometry by activating the pointing device (e.g. clicking the mouse) to generate
isActive events. Output event isActive=true is sent when geometry is selected (e.g.
when primary mouse button is pressed), output event isActive=false is sent when geometry
is deselected (e.g. when primary mouse button is released).
Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead
only use it a source for ROUTE events. |
| isOver |
[isOver accessType outputOnly, type SFBool #FIXED ""]
Hover over geometry by aiming the mouse (or pointing device) to generate isOver
events. Sensor sends output event isOver=true event when pointing device moves over
sensor's geometry, and later sends output event isOver=false event when pointing device
moves off.
Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead
only use it a source for ROUTE events. |
| rotation_changed |
[rotation_changed accessType outputOnly, type SFRotation CDATA #FIXED ""]
rotation_changed events equal sum of relative bearing changes plus offset value
about Y-axis in local coordinate system.
Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead
only use it a source for ROUTE events. |
| trackPoint_changed |
[trackPoint_changed accessType outputOnly, type SFVec3f CDATA #FIXED ""]
trackPoint_changed events give intersection point of bearing with sensor's virtual
geometry.
Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead
only use it a source for ROUTE events.
Warning: trackPoint_changed events represent unclamped intersection points on plane surface.
Browsers can interpret drags off of the surface in various ways. Note that translation_changed
events are clamped by minPosition/maxPosition and thus may be preferable. |

DirectionalLight |
[inherits X3DLightNode]
DirectionalLight defines parallel light rays that illuminate geometric shapes.
Lighting illuminates all geometry except lines and points. By default, light scope
only illuminates peer geometry and children nodes within the scene graph hierarchy.
No source location is needed since rays are parallel from an infinitely distant source.
DirectionalLight nodes do not attenuate with distance.
Lights have no visible shape themselves and lighting effects continue through any
intermediate geometry.
Hint: animate direction to simulate time-of-day sunlight effects.
Hint: the bound NavigationInfo controls whether headlight is enabled on/off.
Interchange profile hint: light might not be scoped by parent Group or Transform. |

| USE |
[USE type IDREF #IMPLIED]
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. |
| innerRadius |
[innerRadius accessType initializeOnly, type SFFloat CDATA "0"] [0,+∞)

Warning: simple-geometry dimensions are initializeOnly and cannot be changed after initial
creation, avoiding the need for potentially expensive tessellation at run time.
Hint: for size animation, modify the scale of a parent/ancestor Transform node instead.
|
| outerRadius |
[outerRadius accessType initializeOnly, type SFFloat CDATA "1"] (0,+∞)
Outer radius of circle, greater than or equal to inner radius.
Warning: simple-geometry dimensions are initializeOnly and cannot be changed after initial

| solid |
[solid accessType initializeOnly, type SFBool (true|false) "false"]
Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting
solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off).
Hint: mnemonic "this geometry is solid like a brick" (you don't render the inside of a
brick).
Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
Hint: if in doubt, use solid='false' for maximum visibility.
Warning: solid false not supported in VRML97. |
| containerField |
[containerField type NMTOKEN "geometry"]
containerField is a field-label prefix indicating this node's field relationship
to its parent node, for example <Transform><Shape containerField='children'/></Transform>.
Hint: default containerField values for each node are correct in most cases, so the need
to override default containerField values is rare.
Hint: example values include containerField='geometry' for Box node, containerField='children'
for Group node, containerField='proxy' for hidden proxy shape within a Collision node,
etc.
Hint: containerField attribute is part of XML encoding for X3D scenes, and corresponds
to the always-declared field labels in the ClassicVRML and VRML97 file encodings.
Hint: USE node instances are allowed to have a containerField value that is different
than the corresponding DEF declaration of that node.
