public class Shape
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Shape

Shape can appear under any grouping node.

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. Shape node tooltip: [X3DShapeNode,X3DVisibleObject] Shape can appear under any grouping node. Shape can contain an Appearance node and a geometry node (for example one of the primitives Box Cone Cylinder Sphere Text, one of ElevationGrid Extrusion IndexedFaceSet IndexedLineSet LineSet PointSet, or one of the other geometry nodes).

• Hint: Shape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape
• Hint: the Shape design pattern to collect appearance and geometry together is fundamentally the same for many types of 3D graphics software and hardware.
• Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content.
• Hint: X3D Architecture 12.2.1 Shape nodes https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/shape.html#Shapenodes
• Hint: X3D Architecture 17.2.2 Lighting model https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/lighting.html#Lightingmodel
• Hint: apply containerField='shape' if parent node is CADFace.

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.
