Interface VRMLWorldRootNodeType

All Superinterfaces:

public interface VRMLWorldRootNodeType

extends VRMLNodeType, VRMLExecutionSpace

An abstract representation of the root node of a world.

We need a root node representation to act as a standard place to collate all the nodes of a world. While the XML encoding provides a single root node in the X3D element, the UTF8 encoding does not. This class acts as that sort of collector. For the XML code or the UTF8 code, we would expect more concrete implemetations of this interface to be derived.

While this could be a VRMLGroupingNodeType we really don't want to extend that interface. It implies that this node could then be inserted anywhere into the scenegraph. That we want to prevent. Instead, we just copy all the methods here. We also copy the bounded node methods because these might be useful. We do not require implementations to figure out the bounds, but if they do then it would be nice to grab that information.

getContainedScene

Method Detail

setContainedScene

public void setContainedScene(BasicScene scene)

Set the scene that is contained by this world, which happens to be an execution space. The scene instance must be non-null.

Parameters:

scene - The scene to use

setBboxCenter

public void setBboxCenter(float[] newBboxCenter)

Accessor method to set a new value for field attribute bboxCenter

Parameters:

newBboxCenter - The new center of the bounding box

getBboxCenter

public float[] getBboxCenter()

Accessor method to get current value of field bboxCenter default value is 0 0 0.

Returns:

Value of bboxCenter(SFVec3f)

setBboxSize

public void setBboxSize(float[] newBboxSize)

Accessor method to set a new value for field attribute bboxSize

Parameters:

newBboxSize - The new size for the bounding box

getBboxSize

public float[] getBboxSize()

Accessor method to get current value of field bboxSize default value is -1 -1 -1.

Returns:

The size of the bounding box(SFVec3f)

getChildren

public VRMLNodeType[] getChildren()

Get the children, provides a live reference not a copy

Returns:

An array of VRMLNodes

setChildren

public void setChildren(VRMLNodeType[] newChildren)

Accesor method to set the children field If passed null this method will act like removeChildren

Parameters:

newChildren - Array of new children

setChildren

public void setChildren(VRMLNodeType newChild)

Accessor method to set the children field Creates an array containing only newChild If passed null this method will act like removeChildren

Parameters:

newChild - The new child

getChildrenSize

public int getChildrenSize()

Returns the number of children

Returns:

The number of children

addChild

public void addChild(VRMLNodeType newChild)

Append a new child node to the existing collection. Should be used sparingly. It is really only provided for Proto handling purposes.

Parameters:

newChild - The new child

removeChild

public void removeChild(VRMLNodeType removeChild)

Remove an existing child node from the collection. Should be used sparingly. It is really only provided for Proto handling purposes. If it is not registered, silently ignores the request.

Parameters:

removeChild - The child to remove
