All Superinterfaces:: X3DBoundedObject, X3DChildNode, X3DGroupingNode, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:: GeoLocation

public interface GeoLocation extends X3DGroupingNode

GeoLocation positions a regular X3D model onto earth's surface.

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. GeoLocation node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DVisibleObject] GeoLocation positions a regular X3D model onto earth's surface. GeoLocation can contain children and GeoOrigin nodes.

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 each other, since multiple geospatial transformations then occur with unpredictable results.
Hint: GeoLocation adjusts orientation of children models appropriately: +Y axis is up direction for that local area (i.e. normal to tangent plane on the geospatial ellipsoid), -Z axis points towards north pole, and +X axis points east.

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