NAME
VRML::VRML1::Standard.pm - implements the VRML 1.x standard nodes

SYNOPSIS
    use VRML::VRML1::Standard;

DESCRIPTION
Following nodes are currently implemented.

["Group Nodes"] ["Geometry Nodes"] ["Property Nodes"]

["Appearance Nodes"] ["Transform Nodes"] ["Common Nodes"]

  Group Nodes
These nodes NEED "End" !

Group
    "Group()"

    "Switch($whichChild)"

WWWAnchor
    "WWWAnchor($url, $description, $target)"

    $target works only with some browsers

LOD "LOD($range, $center)"

    $range = MFFloat

    $center = SFVec3f

    example: "LOD([1, 2, 5], '0 0 0')"

SpinGroup
    "SpinGroup($rotation, $local)" is supported only by some browsers

  Geometry Nodes

AsciiText
    "AsciiText($string, $width, $justification, $spacing)"

    $justification is a string ('LEFT','CENTER','RIGHT')

    "Cone($radius, $height, @parts)"

    @parts is an array of strings ('SIDES', 'BOTTOM', 'ALL')

Cube
    "Cube($width, $height, $depth)"

Cylinder
    "Cylinder($radius, $height, @parts)"

    @parts is a list of strings ('SIDES', 'TOP', 'BOTTOM', 'ALL')

IndexedFaceSet
    "IndexedFaceSet($coordIndex_ref, $materialIndex_ref, $normalIndex_ref, $textureCoordIndex_ref)"

    $coordIndex_ref is a reference of a list of point index strings like "['0 1 3 2', '2 3 5 4', ...]"

    $materialIndex_ref is a reference of a list of materials

    $normalIndex_ref is a reference of a list of normals

    $textureCoordIndex_ref is a reference of a list of textures

IndexedLineSet
    "IndexedLineSet($coordIndex_ref, $materialIndex_ref, $normalIndex_ref, $textureCoordIndex_ref)"

    $coordIndex_ref is a reference of a list of point index strings like "['0 1 3 2', '2 3 5 4', ...]"

    $materialIndex_ref is a reference of a list of materials

    $normalIndex_ref is a reference of a list of normals

    $textureCoordIndex_ref is a reference of a list of textures

PointSet
    "PointSet($numPoints, $startIndex)"

Sphere
    "Sphere($radius)"

    $radius must be > 0

  Property Nodes

Coordinate3
    "Coordinate3(@points)"

    @points is a list of points with strings like '1.0 0.0 0.0', '-1 2 0'

Fontstyle
    "FontStyle($size, $family, $style)" defines the current font style for all subsequent "AsciiText" Nodes

    $familiy can be 'SERIF','SANS','TYPEWRITER'

    $style can be 'NONE','BOLD','ITALIC'

  Appearance Nodes

Material
    "Material(%materials)"

MaterialBinding
    "MaterialBinding($value)"

    $value can be

        DEFAULT     Use default bindng
        OVERALL     Whole object has same material
        PER_PART    One material for each part of object
        PER_PART_INDEXED    One material for each part, indexed
        PER_FACE    One material for each face of object
        PER_FACE_INDEXED    One material for each face, indexed
        PER_VERTEX  One material for each vertex of object
        PER_VERTEX_INDEXED  One material for each vertex, indexed

Normal
    "Normal(@vector)"

    @vector is a list of vectors with strings like '1.0 0.0 0.0', '.5 .2 0'

NormalBinding
    "NormalBinding($value)"

    $value is the same as "MaterialBinding"

Texture2
    "Texture2($value)"

  Transform Nodes

Transform
    "Transform($translation, $rotation, $scaleFactor, $scaleOrientation, $center)"

    $translation is a string like "0 1 -2"

    $rotation is a string like "0 0 1 1.57"

    $scaleFactor is a string like "1 1 1"

    $scaleOrientation is a string like "0 0 1 0"

    $center is a string like "0 0 0"

Rotation
    "Rotation($rotation)"

    $rotation is a string like "0 0 1 1.57"

    "This node is not supported under VRML 2.0. Use Transform"

Scale
    "Scale($scaleFactor)"

    $scaleFactor is a string like "1 1 1"

    "This node is not supported under VRML 2.0. Use Transform"

Translation
    "Translation($translation)"

    $translation is a string like "0 1 -2"

    "This node is not supported under VRML 2.0. Use Transform"
