Class TElevationGridNode

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TX3DNode.Create.

Constructor. Initializes various properties:

• Name, BaseUrl are initialized from given parameters.

• The Fields, Events lists are filled in every descendant, to have all the fields/events defined by the specification.

• DefaultContainerField, and other node-specific stuff, is filled in descendants. This is actually implemented in CreateNode, that is called at the end of this constructor.

This checks whether xDimension and zDimension are >= 2, xSpacing and zSpacing are > 0 and height has at least the required number of values. If this returns False then it is understood that ElevationGrid is not rendered, doesn't have any vertices/triangles etc.

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TAbstractGeometryNode.SolidField.

Is backface culling used. Nil if given geometry node doesn't have a field to control it.

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TX3DNode.FieldSetByEvent.

Find field set by given event of this node. Nil if not found (including when this Event doesn't actually belong to this node).

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TAbstractGeometryNode.Proxy.

Converts this node to another node class that may be better supported.

Typically, converts some complex geometry node (like Extrusion or Teapot) into more common node like IndexedFaceSet or IndexedTriangleSet. TShape class wraps this method into a more comfortable interface, that is TShape methods simply automatically convert geometry nodes to their proxy versions if needed.

In the base TAbstractGeometryNode class, returns Nil indicating that no conversion is known.

The resulting node's Name (if the result is not Nil) must be equal to our Name.

Some Proxy implementations (especially for VRML 1.0) will have to create new State (TX3DGraphTraverseState) instance along with a new geometry node. You should do this by copying the State into a new TX3DGraphTraverseState instance, and modyfying the State reference. Simply speaking, do

State := TX3DGraphTraverseState.CreateCopy(State);

You should not just modify the fields of the provided State instance. (Reasoning: some proxy methods rely on getting the original State, e.g. with original MaterialBinding, not the transformed state, to work correctly.)

You can modify State variable only when returning non-nil geometry.

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TAbstractGeometryNode.VerticesCount.

Calculate vertex and triangles count of this node.

They require State of this node during VRML traverse state — this is mainly for VRML 1.0 nodes, that depend on such state.

Vertices count calculates number of different vertexes in this node. That is, it doesn't eliminate doubles in cases like Coordinate node with multiple points the same. But if some face is known to use twice the same vertex index, then this counts like a single vertex. The idea is that this indicates rendering speed.

For triangles count, the returned value may be different then actual if some faces were non-convex. Things like TriangulateFace may remove degenerate triangles, so actual number of triangles may be slightly less. So don't depend on TrianglesCount as a precise measure — but it's a good fast measure of complexity of given node, how fast it will be rendered, used with collision detection etc.

Notes for descendants implementors:

For coordinate-based nodes (when InternalCoord returns True), VerticesCount is already implemented in this class. Using Coord method, no other information is needed.

For other nodes, the default implementation of both VerticesCount and TrianglesCount in this TAbstractGeometryNode class will use ProxyGeometry and ProxyState to do the work. You should override these methods if Proxy is not available (so caller will always pass ProxyGeometry = Nil) or some faster approach is possible.

Create node fields and events.

This item has no description. Showing description inherited from TX3DNode.ClassX3DType.

Node type name in VRML/X3D, for this class. Normal VRML/X3D node classes should override this to return something non-empty, and then X3DType automatically will return the same value.

Empty for classes that don't have a hardcoded VRML/X3D node name, like a special TX3DUnknownNode. Such special classes should override then X3DType to return actual non-empty name there.

You usually should call X3DType. The only use of this method is that it works on classes (it's "class function"), without needing at actual instance.
