Interface GeoElevationGrid

All Known Implementing Classes:
GeoElevationGrid
public interface GeoElevationGrid extends X3DGeometryNode
GeoElevationGrid is a geometry node defining a rectangular height field, with default values for a 1m by 1m square at height 0.

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. GeoElevationGrid node tooltip: [X3DGeometryNode] GeoElevationGrid is a geometry node defining a rectangular height field, with default values for a 1m by 1m square at height 0. Vertices corresponding to GeoElevationGrid height values define quadrilaterals, which are placed above or below a curved geospatial surface using geographic coordinates.
  • Hint: the height array defines (xDimension-1)*(zDimension-1) quadrilaterals.
  • Warning: generated quadrilaterals can be nonplanar. Tessellation splits quadrilaterals into triangles along seam starting at initial vertex of the quadrilateral and proceeding to opposite vertex.
  • Hint: positive direction for normal of each triangle is on same side of the quadrilateral. Triangles are defined either counterclockwise or clockwise depending on value of ccw field.
  • Hint: GeoElevationGrid can contain GeoOrigin, Color|ColorRGBA, Normal and TextureCoordinate nodes.
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
  • Hint: X3D for Advanced Modeling (X3D4AM) slideset https://x3dgraphics.com/slidesets/X3dForAdvancedModeling/GeospatialComponentX3dEarth.pdf
  • Warning: requires X3D profile='Full' or else include <component name='Geospatial' level='1'/>
  • Warning: avoid having GeoLocation or GeoTransform as a parent or ancestor node of GeoElevationGrid, since multiple geospatial transformations then occur with unpredictable results.

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

      Tooltip: [0,+infinity) Vertical exaggeration of displayed data produced from the height array. *
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the yScale field.
      Returns:
      GeoElevationGrid - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getZDimension

      int getZDimension()
      Provide int value within allowed range of [0,infinity) from initializeOnly SFInt32 field named zDimension.

      Tooltip: (0,+infinity) Number of elements in the height array along north-south Z direction.
      • Hint: total lateral z-axis distance equals (zDimension-1) * zSpacing.
      • Warning: zDimension < 2 means that GeoElevationGrid contains no quadrilaterals.
      Returns:
      value of zDimension field

    • setZDimension

      GeoElevationGrid setZDimension(int newValue)
      Accessor method to assign int value to initializeOnly SFInt32 field named zDimension.

      Tooltip: (0,+infinity) Number of elements in the height array along north-south Z direction.
      • Hint: total lateral z-axis distance equals (zDimension-1) * zSpacing.
      • Warning: zDimension < 2 means that GeoElevationGrid contains no quadrilaterals.
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the zDimension field.
      Returns:
      GeoElevationGrid - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getZSpacing

      double getZSpacing()
      Provide double value within allowed range of (0,infinity) from initializeOnly SFDouble field named zSpacing.

      Tooltip: (0,+infinity) Distance between grid-array vertices along north-south Z direction.
      • Hint: when geoSystem is GDC, zSpacing is number of degrees of latitude.
      • Hint: when geoSystem is UTM, zSpacing is number of northings (meters).
      Returns:
      value of zSpacing field

    • setZSpacing

      GeoElevationGrid setZSpacing(double newValue)
      Accessor method to assign double value to initializeOnly SFDouble field named zSpacing.

      Tooltip: (0,+infinity) Distance between grid-array vertices along north-south Z direction.
      • Hint: when geoSystem is GDC, zSpacing is number of degrees of latitude.
      • Hint: when geoSystem is UTM, zSpacing is number of northings (meters).
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the zSpacing field.
      Returns:
      GeoElevationGrid - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
