Interface GeoLOD

All Superinterfaces:

X3DBoundedObject, X3DChildNode, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

GeoLOD

public interface GeoLOD
extends X3DChildNode, X3DBoundedObject

Note that MFNode rootNode field can contain multiple nodes and has accessType inputOutput. Meanwhile MFNode children field is outputOnly, unlike other X3DGroupingNode exemplars.

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. GeoLOD node tooltip: [X3DChildNode,X3DBoundedObject,X3DVisibleObject] GeoLOD provides quadtree level-of-detail loading/unloading for multi-resolution terrains. GeoLOD can contain children and GeoOrigin nodes.

• Hint: children nodes expose the scene graph for the currently loaded set of nodes.
• Hint: rootNode specifies the geometry of the root tile.
• Warning: do not use rootUrl and rootNode simultaneously, since each specifies the root tile.
• 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: nested LOD (and/or GeoLOD) nodes with overlapping range intervals can lead to unexpected or undefined behavior.

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