All Implemented Interfaces:
MFFloat, MField, X3DField

public class MFFloat extends X3DConcreteField implements MFFloat
This utility class provides a concrete implementation corresponding to MFFloat X3D field type.

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.
Package hint: This specification class is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI). MFFloat is an array of SFFloat values, meaning a single-precision floating-point array type. Array values are optionally separated by commas in XML syntax.
