public class Anchor
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Anchor

Anchor 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. Anchor node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DUrlObject,X3DVisibleObject] Anchor is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. When the user selects any of the geometry contained by the Anchor node, the browser either jumps to another viewpoint (similar to HTML bookmark) or else loads content (such as X3D, an image or HTML) specified by the url field. Newly loaded content completely replaces current content, if the value of parameter field indicates using the same window.

• Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
• Hint: when parent node is LoadSensor, apply containerField='children' (X3Dv4) or containerField='watchList' (X3Dv3). https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#fieldNameChanges

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.

• Hint: binding a different Viewpoint triggers an isBound event that can initiate other user-arrival reactions via event chains to interpolators or scripts.
• Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so separate each individual string by quote marks "https://www.web3d.org" "https://www.web3d.org/about" "etc."
• Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is " (which is an example of a character entity).
• Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches.
• Hint: can replace embedded blank(s) in url queries with %20 for each blank character.
• Hint: pop up a new window with url value as follows: "JavaScript:window.open('somePage.html','popup','width=240,height=240');location.href='HelloWorld.x3d'"
