[x3d-public] X3D Interactive profile support for all Geometry2D nodes

[Joe D Williams]

Fine for noticing Level 2 nodes should be available. 
   
detail: 
  
"Polypoint2D : X3DGeometryNode {   SFNode  [in,out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]  MFVec2f [in,out] point    []    (-∞,∞)}The Polyline2D node specifies a set of vertices in the local 2D coordinate system at each of which is displayed a point.
The points field specifies ...  "    
    
please notice use of 'point' in idl and 'points' in text description.

Thanks, 
Joe

Comments welcome on this new specification issue.
 
  *  Mantis 1474: Interactive profile ought to support Geometry2D component level 2 (Arc2D, ArcClose2D, Circle2D, Disk2D)

  *  https://www.web3d.org/member-only/mantis/view.php?id=1474
 


  *  Description:

  *  Interactive profile is roughly on a par with VRML97 capabilities, meaning similar level of complexity.

  *  Restricting Interactive profile Geometry2D component to level 1 excludes important nodes (Arc2D, ArcClose2D, Circle2D, Disk2D) that are likely to be implemented by any implementation supporting this component.

  *  One original motivation for Interactive profile was support for mobile devices with limited computation or rendering capabilities - mobile devices no longer have such a constraint.

  *  Need to change Interactive profile to support Geometry2D component level 2.
