public class SoVRMLSphere
extends SoVRMLGeometry

Sphere shape node. See the VRML97 Specification, below.

OpenGL vertex arrays are used if they are available and if the environment variable IV_NO_VERTEX_ARRAY is not set.

<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.

The SoVRMLSphere node specifies a sphere centered at (0, 0, 0) in the local coordinate system. The radius field specifies the radius of the sphere and must be >= 0.0.

When a texture is applied to a sphere, the texture covers the entire surface, wrapping counterclockwise from the back of the sphere. The texture has a seam at the back where the YZ plane intersects the sphere. SoVRMLTextureTransform affects the texture coordinates of the SoVRMLSphere.

The SoVRMLSphere geometry is considered to be solid and thus requires outside faces only. When viewed from the inside the results are undefined.

File format/default:

SoVRMLSphere {

radius	1
solid	true
metadata	NULL

The VRML API is no longer supported. See section http://oivdoc95.vsg3d.com/content/compatibility-notes-4#Deprecation of the Reference Manual.

Since:

Open Inventor 5.0 NOTE 2: This field is not compatible with VRML97. If you specify a non-default value for this field, when this node is written to a VRML file, the file will contain this incompatible field and standard VRML97 file readers will not be able to read it.
