public interface VRMLTimeDependentNodeType

extends VRMLChildNodeType

Nodes which have behaviour controlled by a clock.

Time information is provided by the clock that can be set by the implementing runtime system. With the clock, the node can then register clock ticks listeners for timing update information.

Method Detail

setVRMLClock

public void setVRMLClock(VRMLClock clock)

Set the clock that this time dependent node will be running with. The clock provides all the information and listeners for keeping track of time. Setting a value of null will ask the node to remove the clock from it's use so that the node may be removed from the scene.

Parameters:

clock - The clock to use for this node
