Interface NurbsPositionInterpolator

All Superinterfaces:
X3DChildNode, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
NurbsPositionInterpolator
public interface NurbsPositionInterpolator extends X3DChildNode
NurbsPositionInterpolator describes a 3D NURBS curve and outputs interpolated position values.

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. NurbsPositionInterpolator node tooltip: [X3DChildNode] NurbsPositionInterpolator describes a 3D NURBS curve and outputs interpolated position values.
  • Hint: the SFNode controlPoint field can contain a single Coordinate or CoordinateDouble node.

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