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).

    • getNormalIndex

      int[] getNormalIndex()
      Provide array of int results within allowed range of [-1,infinity) from initializeOnly MFInt32 field named normalIndex.

      Tooltip: [-1,+infinity) normalIndex values define the order in which normal vectors are applied to polygons (or vertices), interspersed by -1 if normalPerVertex=true.
      • Hint: if normalIndex array is not provided, then Normal values are indexed according to the coordIndex field. Omitting duplicative normalIndex fields can reduce file size.
      • Hint: If normalPerVertex='false' then one index is provided for each polygon defined by the coordIndex array. No sentinel -1 values are included.
      • Hint: If normalPerVertex='true' then a matching set of indices is provided, each separated by sentinel -1, that exactly corresponds to individual values in the coordIndex array polygon definitions.
      • Hint: if no child Normal node is provided, the X3D browser shall automatically generate normals, using creaseAngle to determine smoothed shading across shared vertices. Interchange profile
      • Hint: this field may be ignored, applying the default value regardless.
      Returns:
      value of normalIndex field

    • getSolid

      boolean getSolid()
      Provide boolean value from initializeOnly SFBool field named solid.

      Tooltip: Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off).
