Class VolumePickSensor

java.lang.Object
org.web3d.x3d.jsail.X3DConcreteElement

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.Picking.VolumePickSensor
All Implemented Interfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DSensorNode, VolumePickSensor, X3DPickSensorNode
public class VolumePickSensor extends X3DConcreteNode implements VolumePickSensor
VolumePickSensor tests picking intersections using the pickingGeometry against the pickTarget 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. VolumePickSensor node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DPickSensorNode] VolumePickSensor tests picking intersections using the pickingGeometry against the pickTarget geometry volume.
  • Hint: sort order is based on distance between centers of the bounds of the picking geometry and the picked geometry.
  • Warning: pickingGeometry volume is defined by the convex hull of the enclosing planes of the provided X3DGeometryNode. If the provided volume is not manifold, pick results are undefined.
  • Hint: a pick is successful if any vertex of the pickTarget geometry intersects the volume defined by the pickingGeometry.
  • Hint: Sorting is defined based on distance between the centers of the bounds of the picking geometry and the picked geometry.
  • Hint: picking is performed between rendered frames of the event model. An author sets up the picking request in one frame by placing a LinePickSensor in the desired location. At the start of the next frame, any picking intersections are reported by the pick sensor.
  • Hint: picking notification is performed at the start of the frame for all enabled pick sensors once all other sensors are processed.
  • Hint: event timing details are explained in X3D Specification 4.4.8.3 Execution model https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/concepts.html#ExecutionModelWarning: order of contained nodes is significant, single pickingGeometry node must precede pickTarget node array.
  • Hint: any geometry can be used for pickingGeometry 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.

    • 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: labeling a PickableGroup with the objectType value "WATER" and then attempting to intersect a pick sensor with objectType value "GROUND" fails since the objectType values do not match. 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 of the corresponding PickableGroup to false.
      • Hint: authors may define any value for objectType.
      • Hint: MFString arrays can have multiple values, so "separate each individual string" "by using quote marks".
