public class PickableGroup
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements PickableGroup

PickableGroup 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. PickableGroup node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DGroupingNode,X3DPickableObject,X3DVisibleObject] PickableGroup is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. PickableGroup contains children that are marked as having a given classification of picking types, and can also enable or disable picking of the children.

• Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
• Hint: content must be visible to be collidable and to be pickable.

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.

getObjectType

public String[] getObjectType()

Provide array of String enumeration results with quoted value(s) ["ALL","NONE","TERRAIN",...] from inputOutput MFString field named objectType.

Tooltip: The objectType field specifies a set of labels used in the picking process. Each string specified is treated as an independent label that needs to be matched against the same type in one of the pick sensor instances.

Example: the special value "ALL" means that each node is available for picking regardless of the type specified by the pick sensor. Example: the special value "NONE" effectively disables all picking for this node and is the equivalent of setting the pickable field to false.

• Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.
