[x3d-public] John being a clown, except first sentence. For I entertainment purposes only

[John Carlson]

I couldn’t have done any of this without X3DJSAIL.  The below *might* work
to remove items from a JavaScript-X3DJSAIL scenegraph.  My testing has been
incomplete to non-existent, I’m now discovering.

The rest of the message is tech entertainment.

Here’s my Java extensions to X3DJSAIL (sorry, no stylesheet) to remove
items from the scenegraph. If you don’t want to remove anything from the
scenegraph, these additions are not needed.  Indeed, you can get/set to
remove items from the scenegraph, just like these extensions do:

https://github.com/coderextreme/jaminate/tree/main/Jaminate/app/src/main/java/net/coderextreme/remove


See Remove.java which brings it all together, thanks to an experimental
Java feature.  But yeah, just read XML in, and not removing anything should
work too for a previous private message (included) describing Interpolator
concatenation.  I prototyped with a JavaScript-X3DJSAIL scenegraph, powered
by X3DJSONLD:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/graaljs/net/remove/data/X3DautoclassNew.js


But since I don’t even reference the new autoclass file from Jaminate, it
hasn’t been adequately tested or tested at all?????

Hilarious.  No wonder I went with XML input into X3DJSAIL instead of
JavaScript.  At least Jin still has hair.  I presume the large stack size
fixes that?

Despite that, if you want to implement your own remove package for
JavaScript-X3DJSAIL from X3DUOM, look here:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/python/classesNew.py

But yeah, it’s currently *really* untested.  Use at your own risk, Instead,
I recommend garbage collection on the scenegraph, if even possible.

This is the extent of my testing:

Remove rem = new Remove();
rem.removeChildren(X3D0.getScene().getChildren(), oldroutes);
rem.removeChildren(X3D0.getScene().getChildren(), oldois);
rem.removeChildren(X3D0.getScene().getChildren(), oldsensors); }

I’m not convinced it ever worked.

RemoveChildren could be better termed removeDescendents???

What a clown I am!

Here’s my one and only test file

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/master/src/main/graaljs/net/remove/data/Leif8Final.js

OH!  I get it!  The autoclass file is prepended to the front of the file,
such that it no longer needs to be loaded.

Duh!  I probably have tested this a bit!  So one must use this serializer
to get the right JavaScript scenegraph:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/node/JavaScriptSerializerNew.js

So now this actually makes sense!  I tested JavaScript with Leif, not with
Jin!  I have 2 concatenation routines, one for JavaScript and one for XML!
Using a JavaScript-X3DJSAIL scenegraph plus special autoclass file could
potentially work quite well to remove scene elements!

I don’t actually think that removing items from a live scenegraph is
possible, but here’s the prototype for X3DJSAIL!

Finale!
