ViewBindable (alias: Viewpoint)
The abstract base class for all camera objects. The children field can hold nodes which will be located relative to the camera transformation. If you need to place objects relative to the _active_ camera look at the Viewspace node. zNear/zFar are used to set the z-values per camera. Otherwise the avatarSize and visibilityLimit of the _active_ Userbindable will be used (X3D standard). If both settings are invalid the system will automatically set the z-near/far

Interface
Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id | Name | DataType | PartType | Default | ValueType | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
jump | SFBool | inputOutput | TRUE | Sspecifies whether the user's view jumps to the position and orientation of a bound node or remains unchanged | ||
retainUserOffsets | SFBool | inputOutput | FALSE | retainUserOffsets is FALSE, the viewer is returned to the originally defined viewpoint position/orientation after local navigation | ||
isInteractive | SFBool | outputOnly | FALSE | Event true sent when node becomes interactive, user can navigate the view transformation | ||
set_bind | SFBool | inputOnly | Sending event set_bind=true makes this node active. Sending event set_bind=false makes this node inactive. Thus setting set_bind to true/false will pop/push (enable/disable) this Bindable | |||
bindTime | SFTime | outputOnly | Event sent when node becomes active/inactive. | |||
isBound | SFBool | outputOnly | FALSE | Event true sent when node becomes active, event false sent when unbound by another node. | ||
description | SFString | initializeOnly | Text description or navigation hint to be displayed for this Bindable. Hint: make descriptions clear and readable. Warning: without description, Bindable (e.g. Viewpoint objs) can not be activated/deactivated with keyboard or gui messages (e.g. switched with PgUp bzw PgDn) | |||
metadata | SFNode | inputOutput | MetadataObject | container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element |
