SFNode [in, out] metadata NULL [X3DMetadataObject]

Metadata are not part of the X3D world and not interpreted by the X3D browser, but they can be accessed via the ECMAScript interface.

SFNode [ ] geoOrigin NULL [GeoOrigin] (deprecated)

Field geoOrigin.

MFString [ ] geoSystem [ "GD", "WE" ]

Identifies spatial reference frame: Geodetic (GD), Geocentric (GC), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). Supported values: "GD" "UTM" or "GC" followed by additional quoted string parameters as appropriate for the type.

Warning

Deprecated values are GDC (use GD) and GCC (use GC).

SFVec3d [ ] geoGridOrigin 0 0 0 (-∞,∞)

Geographic coordinate for southwest (lower-left) corner of height dataset.

SFInt32 [ ] xDimension (0,∞)

Number of elements in the height array along east-west X direction.

Hint

Total horizontal x-axis distance equals (xDimension-1) * xSpacing.

SFInt32 [ ] zDimension (0,∞)

Number of elements in the height array along north-south Z direction.

Hint

Total lateral z-axis distance equals (zDimension-1) * zSpacing.

SFDouble [ ] xSpacing 1 [0,∞)

Distance between grid-array vertices along east-west X direction.

Hints

When geoSystem is GDC, xSpacing is number of degrees of longitude. When geoSystem is UTM, xSpacing is number of eastings (meters).

SFDouble [ ] zSpacing 1 [0,∞)

Distance between grid-array vertices along north-south Z direction.

Hints

When geoSystem is GDC, zSpacing is number of degrees of latitude. When geoSystem is UTM, zSpacing is number of northings (meters).

SFFloat [in, out] yScale 1 [0,∞)

Vertical exaggeration of displayed data produced from the height array.

SFBool [ ] solid TRUE

Setting solid true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting solid false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off).

Hint

If in doubt, use solid='false' for maximum visibility.

Warning

Default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!

SFBool [ ] ccw TRUE

Ccw = counterclockwise: ordering of vertex coordinates orientation.

Hint

Ccw false can reverse solid (backface culling) and normal-vector orientation.

SFDouble [ ] creaseAngle [0,∞)

CreaseAngle defines angle (in radians) for determining whether adjacent polygons are drawn with sharp edges or smooth shading. If angle between normals of two adjacent polygons is less than creaseAngle, smooth shading is rendered across the shared line segment.

Hint

CreaseAngle=0 means render all edges sharply, creaseAngle=3.14159 means render all edges smoothly.

Warning

Note type double, unlike ElevationGrid creaseAngle.

SFBool [ ] colorPerVertex TRUE

Whether Color node color values are applied to each vertex (true) or per quadrilateral (false).

X3D Scene Authoring Hints, Color

SFBool [ ] normalPerVertex TRUE

Whether Normal node vector values are applied to each vertex (true) or per quadrilateral (false).

SFNode [in, out] color NULL [X3DColorNode]

Input/Output field color.

SFNode [in, out] texCoord NULL [X3DTextureCoordinateNode]

Input/Output field texCoord.

SFNode [in, out] normal NULL [X3DNormalNode]

Input/Output field normal.

MFDouble [in, out] height [ 0, 0 ] (-∞,∞)

Contains xDimension rows * zDimension columns floating-point values for elevation above ellipsoid.

Hints

Height array values are in row-major order from west to east, south to north. GeoGridOrigin is in southwest (lower-left) corner of height dataset.
