Cobweb 3.2 Released

Leipzig, 29th April 2017: The X3DCanvas element becomes a major change in its CSS styles, it is now similar to the HTML5 canvas element a display inline-block element instead of block with a default width and height of 300 × 150 pixels. Additionally there are four new attributes splashScreen, notifications, timings, and contextMenu, these attribute are especially useful if the X3DCanvas element is very small. Have a look at »Attributes of the X3DCanvas Element« to see how these attributes work. Additionally we changed the data type mapping of SF/MFRotation in custom shaders from uniform vec4 quaternion representation to uniform mat3 3×3 rotation matrix representation, which are easier to operate with.

• Changed default CSS style display of X3DCanvas element to inline-block.
• Changed default width and height of X3DCanvas element to 300 × 150 pixels.
