Interface IndexedFaceSet

All Superinterfaces:
X3DComposedGeometryNode, X3DGeometryNode, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
IndexedFaceSet

public interface IndexedFaceSet extends X3DComposedGeometryNode
IndexedFaceSet defines polygons using index lists corresponding to vertex coordinates.

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. IndexedFaceSet node tooltip: [X3DComposedGeometryNode] IndexedFaceSet defines polygons using index lists corresponding to vertex coordinates. IndexedFaceSet is a geometry node containing a Coordinate|CoordinateDouble node, and can also contain Color|ColorRGBA, Normal and TextureCoordinate nodes.
  • Hint: Polygon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
  • Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content.
  • Warning: rendering characteristics are undefined if polygons are not planar.
  • Warning: avoid self-intersecting polygon line segments, otherwise defined geometry is irregular and rendering results are undefined.

Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).
