Class Billboard

java.lang.Object
All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DBoundedObject, X3DGroupingNode, Billboard

public class Billboard extends X3DConcreteNode implements Billboard
Billboard is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes.

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. Billboard node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DVisibleObject] Billboard is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. Contained child geometry faces the user, rotating about the specified axis. Set axisOfRotation=0 0 0 to fully face the user's camera.
  • Hint: Put Billboard as close to the geometry as possible, nested inside Transform for local coordinate system.
  • Warning: don't put Viewpoint inside a Billboard.
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.

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.
