Package org.web3d.x3d.sai.EventUtilities

Interface TimeTrigger

All Superinterfaces:

X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DTriggerNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

TimeTrigger

public interface TimeTrigger
extends X3DTriggerNode

TimeTrigger converts boolean true events to time events.

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. TimeTrigger node tooltip: [X3DTriggerNode] TimeTrigger converts boolean true events to time events.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
X3DMetadataObject	getMetadata()	Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.
double	getTriggerTime()	Provide double value in seconds from outputOnly SFTime field named triggerTime.
TimeTrigger	setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)	Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Method Details

getMetadata

X3DMetadataObject getMetadata()

Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Tooltip: [X3DMetadataObject] Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.

• Hint: X3D Architecture 7.2.4 Metadata https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/core.html#Metadata

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DChildNode

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DNode

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface X3DTriggerNode

Returns:

value of metadata field

setMetadata

TimeTrigger setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)

Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Tooltip: [X3DMetadataObject] Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.

• Hint: X3D Architecture 7.2.4 Metadata https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/core.html#Metadata

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DChildNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DTriggerNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

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

getTriggerTime

double getTriggerTime()

Provide double value in seconds from outputOnly SFTime field named triggerTime.

Tooltip: triggerTime is output time event, sent when input event set_boolean is true.

• Warning: it is an error to define this transient outputOnly field in an X3D file, instead only use it a source for ROUTE events.

Returns:

value of triggerTime field
