public class ShapeObject
extends X3DConcreteNode
implements Shape

Shape can appear under any grouping node.

X3D 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/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/Part01/components/shape.html#Shapenodes
Hint: X3D Architecture 17.2.2 Lighting model https://www.web3d.org/documents/specifications/19775-1/V3.3/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.

  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(java.lang.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 findAncestorSceneObject() to check entire scene graph, or findAncestorX3DObject() 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
  
  See Also:
  
  findElementByNameValue(String), X3DConcreteElement.hasAncestorSceneObject(), X3DConcreteElement.findAncestorX3DObject()
- hasNodeByDEF
  
  public boolean hasNodeByDEF(java.lang.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

  findNodeByDEF(String)
- validate
  
  public java.lang.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.
  
  Specified by:
  
  validate in class X3DConcreteElement
  
  Returns:
  
  validation results (if any)
