[x3d-public] Joe, question about H-Anim

[John Carlson]

Joe,

Does H-Anim have the concept of 1) Geometry stretching between two Transforms (like a stretchable bone between two joints)?  The transforms may contain further geometry.  See other thread Leonard and I are on.  This would be used to implement a graph, but unlike H-anim in that it might allow for cycles or perhaps just DAGs instead of hierarchies.   What are the physical implications and coding implementations of such cycles or DAGs?  Could we use H-Anim-like physicality to implement force directed graphs?  On the web?
