All Superinterfaces:: X3DBoundedObject, X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DUrlObject

All Known Implementing Classes:: Inline

public interface Inline extends X3DChildNode, X3DBoundedObject, X3DUrlObject

Inline can load another X3D or VRML model into the current scene via url.

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. Inline node tooltip: [X3DGroupingNode,X3DBoundedObject,X3DUrlObject,X3DVisibleObject] Inline can load another X3D or VRML model into the current scene via url. Inline is an X3DBoundedObject node that has bounding-box dimensions.

Hint: X3D version='4.0' support includes .gltf and .glb https://www.khronos.org/gltf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/glTF
Hint: you cannot ROUTE values directly into an Inline node, use IMPORT/EXPORT declarations instead.
