Interface OrthoViewpoint

All Superinterfaces:
X3DBindableNode, X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DViewpointNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
OrthoViewpoint

public interface OrthoViewpoint extends X3DViewpointNode
OrthoViewpoint provides an orthographic perspective-free view of a scene from a specific location and direction.

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. OrthoViewpoint node tooltip: [X3DViewpointNode] OrthoViewpoint provides an orthographic perspective-free view of a scene from a specific location and direction.
  • Hint: Background, Fog, GeoViewpoint, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground and Viewpoint are bindable nodes, meaning that no more than one of each node type can be active at a given time.
  • Hint: GeoViewpoint OrthoViewpoint and Viewpoint share the same binding stack, so no more than one of these nodes can be bound and active at a given time.
  • Warning: results are undefined if a bindable node (Background, Fog, NavigationInfo, OrthoViewpoint, TextureBackground, Viewpoint) is a contained descendant node of either LOD or Switch. Avoid this authoring pattern.
  • Warning: do not include GeoViewpoint OrthoViewpoint or Viewpoint as a child of LOD or Switch, instead use ViewpointGroup as parent to constrain location proximity where the viewpoint is available to user.
  • Hint: Regardless of viewpoint jump value at bind time, the relative viewing transformation between user's view and defined position/orientation is stored for later use when un-jumping (returning to the viewpoint when subsequent viewpoint is unbound).
  • Hint: customizable design pattern for dedicated Viewpoint/NavigationInfo pair: <Viewpoint DEF='SpecialView'/> <NavigationInfo DEF='SpecialNav'/> <ROUTE fromNode='SpecialView' fromField='isBound' toNode='SpecialNav' toField='set_bind'/>

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