All Superinterfaces:: X3DChildNode, X3DInterpolatorNode, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:: SquadOrientationInterpolator

public interface SquadOrientationInterpolator extends X3DInterpolatorNode

SquadOrientationInterpolator performs non-linear interpolation among paired lists of rotation values to produce an SFRotation value_changed output event.

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. SquadOrientationInterpolator node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DInterpolatorNode] SquadOrientationInterpolator performs non-linear interpolation among paired lists of rotation values to produce an SFRotation value_changed output event.

Hint: Squad is an acronym for Spherical Cubic Interpolation.
Hint: typical input connection is ROUTE someTimeSensorDEF.fraction_changed TO thisInterpolatorDEF.set_fraction
Hint: typical output connection is ROUTE thisInterpolatorDEF.value_changed TO someDestinationNodeDEF.set_someAttribute.
Warning: requires X3D profile='Full' or else include <component name='Interpolation' level='5'/>

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