All Superinterfaces:: X3DBoundedObject, X3DChildNode, X3DNode, X3DShapeNode

All Known Implementing Classes:: Shape

public interface Shape extends X3DShapeNode

Shape can appear under any grouping node.

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. Shape node tooltip: [X3DShapeNode,X3DVisibleObject] Shape can appear under any grouping node. Shape can contain an Appearance node and a geometry node (for example one of the primitives Box Cone Cylinder Sphere Text, one of ElevationGrid Extrusion IndexedFaceSet IndexedLineSet LineSet PointSet, or one of the other geometry nodes).

Hint: Shape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape
Hint: the Shape design pattern to collect appearance and geometry together is fundamentally the same for many types of 3D graphics software and hardware.
Hint: for advanced extensibility, authors can substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance node (with correct containerField value) for contained node content.
Hint: X3D Architecture 12.2.1 Shape nodes https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/components/shape.html#Shapenodes
Hint: X3D Architecture 17.2.2 Lighting model https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3Dv4/ISO-IEC19775-1v4-IS/Part01/components/lighting.html#Lightingmodel
Hint: apply containerField='shape' if parent node is CADFace.

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