Class VolumeEmitter

All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DNode, VolumeEmitter, X3DParticleEmitterNode

public class VolumeEmitter extends X3DConcreteNode implements VolumeEmitter
VolumeEmitter emits particles from a random position confined within the given closed geometry volume.

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. VolumeEmitter node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DParticleEmitterNode] VolumeEmitter emits particles from a random position confined within the given closed geometry volume.
  • Hint: otherwise, a VolumeEmitter node acts like a PolylineEmitter node.

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.
