[x3d-public] X3D4 updates: MultiTexture validation, X3DUOM, Java, Python, Turtle

Tue Sep 28 09:23:17 PDT 2021

Best way to confirm is to look at autogenerated documentation to see what occurred.

  *   https://www.web3d.org/specifications
  *   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dSchemaDocumentation4.0.html
  *   https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3dDoctypeDocumentation4.0.html

The modifications to the schemas and DTDs were corrections to match the requirements defined in the X3D Architecture specification.  Hopefully they are correct.

Work continues on an example scene that has tested this to some degree.

Hope this helps.

all the best, Don

The texCoord field of X3DComposedGeometryNode should just allow any
texture coordinate, i.e. anything descending from
X3DTextureCoordinateNode .

Indeed X3DTextureCoordinateNode means "X3DSingleTextureCoordinateNode
or MultiTextureCoordinate" in practice.

Reading the log, I am not sure -- what is the change you made? Was
there an issue with "just" allowing texCoord to allow any
X3DTextureCoordinateNode (and thus, implicitly. any
X3DSingleTextureCoordinateNode or MultiTextureCoordinate)?

Regards,
Michalis

> The current implementation strives to follow first principles of python package design, being as "pythonic" as possible. Creating a native-Python implementation for X3D data structures appears to provide the greatest possible portability.
> Python is exceedingly rigorous regarding design and implementation, demands crisp readability, and often leads to a single best approach for each programming task. These are valuable features that lead to ease of programming and greatly reduced debugging. A single well-constructed open-source Python X3D implementation has the potential to serve all Python distributions and programmers well.
