How to read the tables

Marks:

We differentiate between nodes and fields that we implement, ie the functionality is handled by the browser, and nodes and fields that we can change at run-time through the route mechanism. In the following tables we use func to indicate if we parse and handle the functionality, and route to indicate if we can change a field.

Also, read / write columns specify whether you can access fields by getting references to the fields in Java.

func:

Is this functionality implemented.

route:

exposed field

events can be delivered to the exposed field using ROUTE. In addition, a change-notification event may be generated.

eventIn/out

event routing is available by ROUTE statements.

read:

You can read the current value of a field, or the last event value for a eventOut by getting the reference to the field or eventOut.

write:

You can change the current value of a field, or send an event to an eventIn by getting the reference to the field or eventIn.

Tables

Following tables are categorized by VRML 2.0 Specification on Aug 4, 1996.

Nodes

Anchor

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFNode	addChildren	X	X	-	X
eventIn	MFNode	removeChildren	X	X	-	X
exposedField	MFNode	children	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFString	description	O	X	X	X
exposedField	MFString	parameter	X	X	X	X
exposedField	MFString	url	*	X	X	X
field	SFVec3f	bboxCenter	*	-	-	-
field	SFVec3f	bboxSize	*	-	-	-

Notes:
url field does not support the initial viewpoint described by "#ViewpointName". Even if you specify a viewpoint, it is ignored.
The place/size of bbox is calculated from the objects in an Anchor automatically. So, you cannot set them.

Appearance

			func	route	read	write
exposedField	SFNode	material	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFNode	texture	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFNode	textureTransform	O	X	X	X

AudioClip

eventOut	SFBool	isActive	-	O	X	-

Background

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	SFBool	set_bind	-	X	-	X
exposedField	MFFloat	groundAngle	X	X	X	X
exposedField	MFFloat	groundColor	X	X	X	X
exposedField	MFString	backUrl	O	O	X	X
exposedField	MFString	bottomUrl	O	O	X	X

exposedField	MFString	leftUrl	O	O	X	X
exposedField	MFString	rightUrl	O	O	X	X
exposedField	MFString	topUrl	O	O	X	X
exposedField	MFFloat	skyAngle	X	X	X	X
exposedField	MFFloat	skyColor	*	*	X	X
eventOut	SFBool	isBound	-	X	X	-

Notes:
Due to the restriction of our rendering engine, values except for skyColor[0] will be ignored and the background will be drawn with it.

Billboard

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFNode	addChildren	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFNode	removeChildren	-	X	-	X

exposedField	MFNode	children	*	X	X	X
field	SFVec3f	bboxCenter	*	-	-	-
field	SFVec3f	bboxSize	*	-	-	-

Notes:
When children has more than one Shape nodes, each Shape node determines its direction separately.
When specifying (0, 0, 0), axisOfRotation works correctly.
The place/size of bbox is calculated from the objects in a Billboard automatically. So, you cannot set them.

Notes:
When your PC is in 16 bit display mode, color field are automatically set to be (0, 0, 0).
'fogType' field is ignored and LINEAR blending is assumed.
Only last defined Fog node works.

FontStyle

			func	route	read	write
field	SFString	family	O	-	-	-
field	SFBool	horizontal	X	-	-	-
field	MFString	justify	O	-	-	-
field	SFString	language	X	-	-	-

Notes:
The current implementation does not support multi-byte characters.

Group

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFNode	addChildren	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFNode	removeChildren	-	X	-	X
exposedField	MFNode	children	O	X	X	X
field	SFVec3f	bboxCenter	*	-	-	-
field	SFVec3f	bboxSize	*	-	-	-

Notes:
The place/size of bbox is calculated from the objects in a Group automatically. So, you cannot set them.

ImageTexture

			func	route	read	write
exposedField	MFString	url	O	O	X	X
field	SFBool	repeatS	*	-	-	-
field	SFBool	repeatT	*	-	-	-

Notes:
Our rendering engine supports only repeatS = repeatT = TRUE. It limits the number of texture tiling repetition to be less than 33. Due to the restriction of our rendering engine, ImageTexture the height of which is any number of times larger than the width, is automatically treated as MovieTexture. And color of ImageTexture is not affected by total color of Material, but is affected by total 'brightness' of Material.

IndexedFaceSet

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFInt32	set_colorIndex	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFInt32	set_coordIndex	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFInt32	set_normalIndex	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFInt32	set_texCoordIndex	-	X	-	X
exposedField	SFNode	color	O	*	X	*
exposedField	SFNode	coord	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFNode	normal	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFNode	texCoord	O	X	X	X
field	SFBool	ccw	O	-	-	-
field	MFInt32	colorIndex	O	-	-	-
field	SFBool	colorPerVertex	*	-	-	-
field	SFBool	convex	*	-	-	-
field	MFInt32	coordIndex	O	-	-	-
field	SFFloat	creaseAngle	*	-	-	-
field	MFInt32	normalIndex	O	-	-	-
field	SFBool	normalPerVertex	O	-	-	-
field	SFBool	solid	O	-	-	-
field	MFInt32	texCoordIndex	O	-	-	-

Notes:
You can change colors of faces by changing Color node's color field.
Even when colorPerVertex is specified TRUE, color per vertex is not supported. Instead, the average color of all vertex of a face is given to the face.
Parameters of "convex" will not be evaluated.
Parameter "normalPerVertex" effects as following:
When the normalPerVertex field is TRUE, smooth shading is used, and when the normalPerVertex field is FALSE, flat shading is used. Parameter "creaseAngle" effects as following:
When the normalPerVertex field is TRUE and the normal field is NULL, normal vectors of each vertex are calculated for smooth shading. The value of creaseAngle is ignored.

IndexedLineSet

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFInt32	set_colorIndex	-	X	-	X
eventIn	MFInt32	set_coordIndex	-	X	-	X
exposedField	SFNode	color	O	*	X	*
exposedField	SFNode	coord	O	X	X	X
field	MFInt32	colorIndex	O	-	-	-
field	SFBool	colorPerVertex	*	-	-	-
field	MFInt32	coordIndex	O	-	-	-

Notes:
You can change colors of lines by changing Color node's color field.
When the colorPerVertex field is TRUE, each line segment (PiPj) is not drawn with gradiation of two vertices colors (Ci, Cj) of the segment, but is drawn only with the first vertex color (Ci). Due to the restriction of our rendering engine, horizontal lines or vertical lines to the current Viewpoint may not be drawn.

Inline

			func	route	read	write
exposedField	MFString	url	*	X	X	X
field	SFVec3f	bboxCenter	*	-	-	-
field	SFVec3f	bboxSize	*	-	-	-

Notes:
If you set more than one URL, only the first one will be loaded. All the files consisting of a world are loaded at the first stage of entering the world.
The place/size of bbox is calculated from the objects in a Inline automatically. So, you cannot set them.

LOD

			func	route	read	write
exposedField	MFNode	level	O	X	X	X
field	SFVec3f	center	O	-	-	-
field	MFFloat	range	O	-	-	-

exposedField	SFFloat	shininess	X	O	O	O
exposedField	SFColor	specularColor	*	O	O	O
exposedField	SFFloat	transparency	O	O	O	O

Notes:
The value of shininess is ignored, and specularColor is converted into specular coefficience of our rendering engine with the equation (0.32r + 0.57g + 0.11b). Our rendering engine does not support ambientIntensity, and ambientIntensity (k) is converted into emissiveColor (k,k,k).

exposedField	SFVec3f	location	O	O	O	O
exposedField	SFBool	on	O	O	O	O
exposedField	SFFloat	radius	X	O	O	O

Notes:
Due to the restriction of our rendering engine, ambientIntensity has not been supported yet. To avoid confusing which comes from the semantic difference (*1) of radius between our rendering engine and VRML2.0 spec, radius field and attenuation field will be ignored and the radius is always infinity. (that is, not be attenuated.)
(*1) the radius of the former is the radius which begins to be attenuated. the latter one is the radius where intensity comes to 0.

PointSet

			func	route	read	write
exposedField	SFNode	color	*	X	X	X
