public class CylinderSensor
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements CylinderSensor

CylinderSensor converts pointer motion (for example, a mouse or wand) into rotation values using an invisible cylinder aligned with local Y-axis.

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. CylinderSensor node tooltip: [X3DDragSensorNode] CylinderSensor converts pointer motion (for example, a mouse or wand) into rotation values using an invisible cylinder aligned with local Y-axis.

• Hint: this sensor detects user interactions affecting peer nodes and their child geometry.
• Hint: add semi-transparent surrounding geometry to see the effect of the sensor.
• Hint: initial relative bearing of pointer drag determines whether cylinder sides or end-cap disks are used for manipulation.

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.

 String elementName)

Recursive method to determine whether node or statement with given name attribute is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.

Parameters:

nameValue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)

elementName - identifies the element of interest (meta MetadataString ProtoDeclare CADassembly ProtoInstance HAnimHumanoid etc.)

Returns:

whether node is found

• findElementByNameValue(String, String)

findNodeByDEF

public X3DConcreteNode findNodeByDEF(String DEFvalue)

Recursive method to provide object reference to node by DEF, if found as this node or in a contained node.

Warning: first start with findAncestorScene() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3D() to check entire model document.

Warning: more than one element may be found that has the same DEF, this method does not handle that case.

Specified by:

findNodeByDEF in class X3DConcreteElement

Parameters:

DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)

Returns:

object reference to found node, null otherwise

• findElementByNameValue(String)
• X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorScene()
• X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3D()

hasNodeByDEF

public boolean hasNodeByDEF(String DEFvalue)

Recursive method to determine whether node with DEFvalue is found, meaning both objects are attached to same scene graph.

Parameters:

DEFvalue - is value of the name field being searched for in this element and child elements(if any)

Returns:

whether node is found

See Also:

• findNodeByDEF(String)

validate

public String validate()

Recursive method to validate this element plus all contained nodes and statements, using both datatype-specification value checks and regular expression (regex) checking of corresponding string values. TODO document specific validation methods.

Specified by:

validate in class X3DConcreteElement

Returns:

validation results (if any)
