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.

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.

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

[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.
Hint: precomputation and inclusion of bounding box information can speed up the initialization of large detailed models, with
a corresponding cost of increased file size.

| containerField |
[containerField type NMTOKEN "children"]
containerField is a field-label prefix indicating this node's field relationship to its parent node, for example <Transform><Shape

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.

| solid |
[solid accessType initializeOnly, type SFBool (true|false) "true"]
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.

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).

|
| 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.

|
| 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.

|
| 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,+∞)
Inner circle radius, greater than or equal to 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 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.
|
| 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.
