public class SoVRMLEXTERNPROTOInstance
extends SoVRMLNode

Instance of an externprototype. An externprototype definition read from a file or a buffer does not define an actual node instance. This class is used to create the instance of a previously defined externprototype.

<font color="#0000FF">NOTE:</font> This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.

VRML97 SPECIFICATION

This section describes the expected behavior of the node in a conforming VRML97 browser application. In some cases, the application is responsible for implementing portions of the expected behavior. Open Inventor viewer classes and IVF classes implement some of the application behaviors.

This section may reference portions of the VRML97 specification that are not present in this help file. The complete VRML97 spec is available at http://www.web3d.org.Deprecated since Open Inventor 9500
The VRML API is no longer supported. See section http://oivdoc95.vsg3d.com/content/compatibility-notes-4#Deprecation of the Reference Manual.

Constructor Detail

SoVRMLEXTERNPROTOInstance

public SoVRMLEXTERNPROTOInstance()

Deprecated.

SoVRMLEXTERNPROTOInstance

public SoVRMLEXTERNPROTOInstance(SoVRMLEXTERNPROTODef protoDef)

Deprecated.

Creates an instance of the externprototype defined by the definition externprotoDef.

Method Detail

getEXTERNPROTOClass

public java.lang.Class<? extends Inventor> getEXTERNPROTOClass()

Deprecated.

Returns the type of the externprototype being instanced. A type of an externprototype determines where it can be instanced. The first node found in the PROTO defined in the externproto definition defines the type of the externprototype.

setupInstance

public void setupInstance()

Deprecated.

Finishes setting up an instance of an externprototype. The steps required to create an instance of an externprototype are:

1. Read in the externprototype. You can read it in from a file or a buffer using the readAllVRML method of SoDB.

2. Find the externprototype definition from the externprototype's name using the static method findEXTERNPROTO in SoBase.

3. Create an instance of the prototype.

4. Set the values of the fields.

5. Finish the setup of the instance.
