Class PolylineEmitter

java.lang.Object

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.X3DConcreteElement

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.X3DConcreteNode

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.ParticleSystems.PolylineEmitter

All Implemented Interfaces:

X3DNode, PolylineEmitter, X3DParticleEmitterNode

public class PolylineEmitter
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements PolylineEmitter

PolylineEmitter emits particles along a single polyline.

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. PolylineEmitter node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DParticleEmitterNode] PolylineEmitter emits particles along a single polyline. The coordinates for the line along which particles should be randomly generated are taken from a combination of the coord and coordIndex fields. The starting point for generating particles is randomly distributed along this line and given the initial speed and direction.

• Hint: if no coordinates are available, PolylineEmitter acts like a point source located at local origin.

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.
