All Superinterfaces:: X3DChildNode, X3DNode

All Known Implementing Classes:: ViewpointGroup

public interface ViewpointGroup extends X3DChildNode

ViewpointGroup can contain Viewpoint, OrthoViewpoint, GeoViewpoint and other ViewpointGroup nodes for better user-navigation support with a shared description on the viewpoint list.

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. ViewpointGroup node tooltip: (X3D version 3.2 or later) [X3DChildNode] ViewpointGroup can contain Viewpoint, OrthoViewpoint, GeoViewpoint and other ViewpointGroup nodes for better user-navigation support with a shared description on the viewpoint list.

Hint: use ViewpointGroup as parent for Viewpoint, OrthoViewpoint, GeoViewpoint and other ViewpointGroup nodes to constrain location proximity where contained viewpoints are available to user.
Hint: ViewpointGroup and OrthoViewpoint require Navigation component level 3, which is higher than CADInterchange profile.
Hint: Viewpoint and ViewpointGroup descriptions together build simple menu/submenu lists for simple user navigation. ViewpointGroup is not an X3DGroupingNode, and can only contain a Metadata* node, Viewpoint, OrthoViewpoint, GeoViewpoint and other ViewpointGroup nodes.

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