X3D Example Archives: Conformance Nist, Grouping Nodes, Billboard

 

Billboard is a Grouping node that can contain most nodes. Contained D geometry faces the user, rotating about the specified axis. Set axisOfRotation=0 0 0 to fully face the user's camera.

X3D Tooltips of interest: Billboard.

X3D Specification sections of interest: 23 Navigation component, 23.3 Concepts and 23.4.1 Billboard.

   axis_rotall axis rotall This test defines a Billboard node with two shapes (two Boxes and text) with a rotation axis about all axis (special value of 0 0 0 for the axisOfRotation field). The Billboard should always face the viewer when rotated along any axis. The test should generate a Billboard consisting of two boxes and the string of text "Viewer-alignment".
   axis_rotX axis rot X This tests defines a Billboard node with three shapes (two Boxes and text) with a rotation axis about the X axis. The Billboard should always face the viewer when moving along the X axis. The test should generate a Billboard consisting of two boxes and the string of text "X as rotation axis".
   axis_rotY axis rot Y This tests defines a Billboard node with three shapes (two Boxes and text) with a rotation axis about the Y axis. The Billboard should always face the viewer when moving along the Y axis. The test should generate a Billboard consisting of two boxes and the string of text "Y as rotation axis".
   axis_rotZ axis rot Z This tests defines a Billboard node with three shapes (two Boxes and text) with a rotation axis about the Z axis. The Billboard should always face the viewer when moving along the Z axis. The test should generate a Billboard consisting of two boxes and the string of text "Z as rotation axis".
   bound_500 bound 500 This tests check the boundary condition of 500 children per grouping node. A Billboard is defined with 500 children in its "children" field. Section 7.3 (Minimum Support Requirements) of the VRML specifications 500 children within a single grouping node. The test should generate 500 default color spheres and radius 0.3 meters.
   test_bboxsizesame test bboxsizesame Test bounding box parsing only. A Billboard node with a Shape node (IndexedFaceSet geometry) as a child is defined in the local coordinate system. A bboxSize of 2 2 2 and a bboxCenter of 0 0 0 is given to the Billboard node. The browser should parse the Anchor node without error and display the IndexedFaceSet geometry
