public interface InlineGeometry extends X3DGeometryNode, X3DUrlObject

InlineGeometry loads geometry from an external file.

InlineGeometry node tooltip: (X3D version 4.1 draft) [X3DGeometryNode,X3DUrlObject] InlineGeometry loads geometry from an external file. The result provides a polygonal mesh, set of lines, point cloud, parametric surface, or other geometry. Supported formats are browser dependent and can include STL and PLY mesh files.

Method Details
- getAutoRefresh
  double getAutoRefresh()
  
  Provide double value in seconds within allowed range of [0,infinity) from inputOutput SFTime field named autoRefresh.
  
  Tooltip: autoRefresh defines interval in seconds before automatic reload of current url asset is performed.
  
  Hint: if preceding file loading fails or load field is false, no refresh is performed.
  
  Hint: repeated refresh attempts to reload currently loaded entry of url list. If that fails, the browser retries other entries in the url list.
  
  Warning: automatically reloading content has security considerations and needs to be considered carefully.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getAutoRefresh in interface X3DUrlObject
  
  Returns:
  
  value of autoRefresh field
- setAutoRefresh
  InlineGeometry setAutoRefresh(double newValue)
  
  Accessor method to assign double value in seconds to inputOutput SFTime field named autoRefresh.
  
  Tooltip: autoRefresh defines interval in seconds before automatic reload of current url asset is performed.
  
  Hint: if preceding file loading fails or load field is false, no refresh is performed.
  
  Hint: repeated refresh attempts to reload currently loaded entry of url list. If that fails, the browser retries other entries in the url list.
  
  Warning: automatically reloading content has security considerations and needs to be considered carefully.

- getAutoRefreshTimeLimit
  double getAutoRefreshTimeLimit()
  
  Provide double value in seconds within allowed range of [0,infinity) from inputOutput SFTime field named autoRefreshTimeLimit.
  
  Tooltip: autoRefreshTimeLimit defines maximum duration that automatic refresh activity can occur.
  
  Hint: Automatic refresh is different than query and response timeouts performed by a networking library while sequentially attempting to retrieve addressed content from a url list.
  
  Warning: automatically reloading content has security considerations and needs to be considered carefully.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getAutoRefreshTimeLimit in interface X3DUrlObject

  Provide array of String results from inputOutput MFString field named url.
  
  Tooltip: Address of X3D world to load Inline with current scene, retrieved either from local system or an online address. Browser support for X3D model support can include allowed file formats for XML .x3d, ClassicVRML .x3dv, X3D Binary .x3db, X3D JSON .json, and Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML97) .wrl.
  
  Hint: support includes .gltf and .glb https://www.khronos.org/gltf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/glTF
  
  Warning: glTF support requires X3D version='4.0' and profile='Full' or else <component name='Networking' level='4'/> <component name='Shape' level='4'/> <component name='Lighting' level='4'/> https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/components/networking.html#t-supportLevels

  Hint: alternative XML encoding for quotation mark " is " (which is an example of a character entity).
  
  Warning: strictly match directory and filename capitalization for http links! This is important for portability. Some operating systems are forgiving of capitalization mismatches, but http/https url addresses and paths in Unix-based operating systems are all case sensitive and intolerant of uppercase/lowercase mismatches.
