Interface MetadataDouble

All Superinterfaces:
X3DMetadataObject, X3DNode
All Known Implementing Classes:
MetadataDouble
public interface MetadataDouble
extends X3DNode, X3DMetadataObject
The metadata provided by this node is contained in the double-precision floating point numbers of the value field.

X3D node tooltip: [X3DNode,X3DMetadataObject] MetadataDouble contains a typed list of values providing metadata information about its parent node. Further information about this specific Metadata* node may be provided by a single child Metadata* node with containerField="metadata".
  • Hint: use containerField="value" if the parent node is MetadataSet.
  • Hint: if a metadata node is needed as a top-level root node for the scene, first insert a parent WorldInfo (or WorldInfo/MetadataSet) to contain it.
  • Hint: if present, an IS statement is the first child within any other node.
  • Hint: an IS statement precedes any sibling Metadata* node, which in turn precedes any other sibling nodes.
  • Hint: The choice of MetadataDouble versus MetadataFloat usually depends on the relevant tool utilizing the value, or else the relevant metadata reference defining the value.
  • Hint: comments are not readable when a model file is loaded for viewing, but WorldInfo and Metadata* nodes are persistent and inspectable at run time.

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

    • getMetadata

      X3DMetadataObject getMetadata()
      Provide org.web3d.x3d.sai.Core.X3DMetadataObject instance (using a properly typed node) from inputOutput SFNode field metadata.

      Tooltip: [X3DMetadataObject] Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.
      Specified by:
      getMetadata in interface X3DNode
      Returns:
      value of metadata field

    • setMetadata

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

      Tooltip: [X3DMetadataObject] Information about this node can be contained in a MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataString or MetadataSet node.
      Specified by:

      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the metadata field.
      Returns:
      MetadataDouble - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

      java.lang.String getName()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named name.

      Tooltip: Depending on the metadata vocabulary, the attribute name is usually required for metadata nodes.
      Specified by:
      getName in interface X3DMetadataObject
      Returns:
      value of name field

    • setName

      MetadataDouble setName​(java.lang.String newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named name.

      Tooltip: Depending on the metadata vocabulary, the attribute name is usually required for metadata nodes.

      Specified by:
      setName in interface X3DMetadataObject
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the name field.
      Returns:
      MetadataDouble - namely this same object to allow sequential method pipelining (i.e. consecutive method invocations on the same object).

    • getReference

      java.lang.String getReference()
      Provide String value from inputOutput SFString field named reference.

      Tooltip: Reference to the metadata standard or definition defining this particular metadata value. *
      Specified by:
      getReference in interface X3DMetadataObject
      Returns:
      value of reference field

    • setReference

      MetadataDouble setReference​(java.lang.String newValue)
      Accessor method to assign String value to inputOutput SFString field named reference.

      Tooltip: Reference to the metadata standard or definition defining this particular metadata value. *
      Specified by:
      setReference in interface X3DMetadataObject
      Parameters:
      newValue - is new value for the reference field.

    • getValue

      double[] getValue()
      Provide array of double results from inputOutput MFDouble field named value.

      Tooltip: The value attribute is a strictly typed data array providing relevant metadata information.
