public class PointSet
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements PointSet

PointSet is a node that contains a set of colored 3D points, represented by contained Color|ColorRGBA and Coordinate|CoordinateDouble 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. PointSet node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] PointSet is a node that contains a set of colored 3D points, represented by contained Color|ColorRGBA and Coordinate|CoordinateDouble nodes.

• Hint: Point (geometry) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)
• Hint: either values in a contained Color node, or else Material emissiveColor in corresponding Appearance node, are used for rendering lines and points.
• Warning: use a different color (or Material emissiveColor) than the Background color, otherwise geometry is invisible.
• Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
• Hint: each point is displayed independently, no other PointSet attributes for rendering are provided.

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.
