Interface X3DNormalNode

All Superinterfaces:

X3DGeometricPropertyNode, X3DNode

All Known Subinterfaces:

Normal

All Known Implementing Classes:

Normal

public interface X3DNormalNode
extends X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Base type for all normal node types in X3D.

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

setMetadata

X3DNormalNode setMetadata(X3DMetadataObject newValue)

Accessor method to assign org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) to inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DGeometricPropertyNode

Specified by:

setMetadata in interface X3DNode

Parameters:

newValue - is new value for the metadata field.

Returns:

X3DNormalNode - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).
