public class ColorInterpolator
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements ColorInterpolator

ColorInterpolator generates a range of color values.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes. ColorInterpolator node tooltip: [X3DInterpolatorNode] ColorInterpolator generates a range of color values. Authors can ROUTE value_changed output events to various color fields of Material or Color nodes.

• Hint: typical input connection is ROUTE someTimeSensorDEF.fraction_changed TO thisInterpolatorDEF.set_fraction.
• Hint: typical output connection is ROUTE thisInterpolatorDEF.value_changed TO someDestinationNodeDEF.set_someAttribute.
• Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Color https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#Color
• Hint: example scenes and authoring assets at https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dForWebAuthors/Chapter07EventAnimationInterpolation

Note that SFColor provides a variety of color constants.

Package hint: This org.web3d.x3d.jsail concrete class is used for implementing a standalone X3D object as a Plain Old Java Object (POJO). If you are writing Java code for use inside an X3D Script node, compile separate code using only the org.web3d.x3d.sai package instead.

setUSE

public final ColorInterpolator setUSE(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: 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.

Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.

Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.

Specified by:

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the USE field.

Returns:

ColorInterpolator - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
