All Superinterfaces:
X3DComposedGeometryNode, X3DGeometryNode, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
IndexedTriangleFanSet
public interface IndexedTriangleFanSet extends X3DComposedGeometryNode
IndexedTriangleFanSet is a geometry node containing a Coordinate|CoordinateDouble node, and can also contain Color|ColorRGBA, Normal and TextureCoordinate nodes.

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. IndexedTriangleFanSet node tooltip: [X3DComposedGeometryNode] IndexedTriangleFanSet is a geometry node containing a Coordinate|CoordinateDouble node, and can also contain Color|ColorRGBA, Normal and TextureCoordinate nodes.
  • Hint: color, normal and texCoord values are applied in the same order as coord values.
  • Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance.
  • Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content.

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