Method Details

getCcw

boolean getCcw()

Provide boolean value from initializeOnly SFBool field named ccw.

Tooltip: ccw defines clockwise/counterclockwise ordering of vertex coordinates, which in turn defines front/back orientation of polygon normals according to Right-Hand Rule (RHR).

• Hint: a good debugging technique for problematic polygons is to try changing the value of ccw, which can reverse solid effects (single-sided backface culling) and normal-vector direction.
• Warning: consistent and correct ordering of left-handed or right-handed point sequences is important throughout the coord array of point values.
• Hint: clockwise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

Returns:

value of ccw field

setCcw

NurbsSwungSurface setCcw(boolean newValue)

Accessor method to assign boolean value to initializeOnly SFBool field named ccw.

Tooltip: ccw defines clockwise/counterclockwise ordering of vertex coordinates, which in turn defines front/back orientation of polygon normals according to Right-Hand Rule (RHR).

• Hint: a good debugging technique for problematic polygons is to try changing the value of ccw, which can reverse solid effects (single-sided backface culling) and normal-vector direction.
• Warning: consistent and correct ordering of left-handed or right-handed point sequences is important throughout the coord array of point values.
• Hint: clockwise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the ccw field.

Returns:

NurbsSwungSurface - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

getMetadata

X3DMetadataObject getMetadata()

Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

• Hint: X3D Architecture 7.2.4 Metadata https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/core.html#Metadata

Specified by:

setMetadata

NurbsSwungSurface setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)

Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Tooltip: [X3DMetadataObject] Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.

• Hint: X3D Architecture 7.2.4 Metadata https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS /Part01/components/core.html#Metadata

Tooltip: [X3DNurbsControlCurveNode] 2D curve in the yz-plane that describes the cross-sectional shape of the object. *

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the profileCurve field.

Returns:

NurbsSwungSurface - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

getSolid

boolean getSolid()

Provide boolean value from initializeOnly SFBool field named solid.

Tooltip: Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off).

• Hint: mnemonic "this geometry is solid like a brick" (you don't render the inside of a brick).
• Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
• Hint: if in doubt, use solid='false' for maximum visibility.
• Hint: accessType relaxed to inputOutput in order to support animation and visualization.

Returns:

value of solid field

setSolid

NurbsSwungSurface setSolid(boolean newValue)

Accessor method to assign boolean value to initializeOnly SFBool field named solid.

Tooltip: Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off).

• Hint: mnemonic "this geometry is solid like a brick" (you don't render the inside of a brick).
• Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
• Hint: if in doubt, use solid='false' for maximum visibility.
• Hint: accessType relaxed to inputOutput in order to support animation and visualization.

Parameters:
