Class PointProperties

java.lang.Object

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.X3DConcreteElement

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.X3DConcreteNode

org.web3d.x3d.jsail.Shape.PointProperties

All Implemented Interfaces:

X3DNode, PointProperties, X3DAppearanceChildNode

public class PointProperties
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements PointProperties

PointProperties allows precise fine-grained control over the rendering style of PointSet node points inside the same Shape.

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. PointProperties node tooltip: [X3DAppearanceChildNode] PointProperties allows precise fine-grained control over the rendering style of PointSet node points inside the same Shape.

• Hint: DEF/USE copies of a single node can provide a similar "look + feel" style for related shapes in a scene.
• Hint: When an X3DTextureNode is defined in the same Appearance instance as PointProperties node, the points of a PointSet shall be displayed as point sprites using the given texture(s).
• Warning: requires X3D profile='Full' or else include <component name='Shape' level='5'/>

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.

• Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Naming Conventions https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#NamingConventions

Overrides:

getDEF in class X3DConcreteNode

Returns:

value of DEF field

See Also:

• X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

setDEF

public final PointProperties setDEF(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named DEF.

Tooltip: DEF defines a unique ID name for this node, referenceable by other nodes.

• Hint: descriptive DEF names improve clarity and help document a model.
• Hint: well-defined names can simplify design and debugging through improved author understanding.
• Hint: X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Naming Conventions https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/X3dSceneAuthoringHints.html#NamingConventions

Note that setting the DEF value clears the USE value.

Specified by:

setDEF in class X3DConcreteNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the DEF field.

Returns:

PointProperties - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

Returns:

PointProperties - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

getUSE

public String getUSE()

Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value).

• Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance.
• Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute.
• Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.

Overrides:

getUSE in class X3DConcreteNode

Returns:

value of USE field

See Also:

• X3D Scene Authoring Hints: Naming Conventions

setUSE

public final PointProperties setUSE(String newValue)

Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named USE.

Tooltip: USE means reuse an already DEF-ed node ID, excluding all child nodes and all other attributes (except for containerField, which can have a different value).

• Hint: USE references to previously defined DEF geometry (instead of duplicating nodes) can improve performance.
• Warning: do NOT include any child nodes, a DEF attribute, or any other attribute values (except for containerField) when defining a USE attribute.
• Warning: each USE value must match a corresponding DEF value that is defined earlier in the scene.

Note: each USE node is still an independent object, with the USE value matching the DEF value in the preceding object.

Warning: invoking the setUSE() method on this node resets all other fields to their default values (except for containerField) and also releases all child nodes.

Warning: no other operations can be performed to modify a USE node other than setting an alternate containerField value.
