Foil 64 Events and Routes

From VRML 2 Basic Concepts and Definitions CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Zeynep Ozdemir(Geoffrey C. Fox)


1 Events and Routes allow to make the VRML world dynamic such as clicking on a shape with a mouse can turn on a light, trigger a sound, or start up a machine.
2 To implement this, the events should be wired. One of them (eventOout) produces the event and the other one (eventIn) consumes it by implementing the necessary operation in the world.
3 Events are fields within the node. The sender and receiver nodes should has the same field type.
4 The connection between the node generating the event and the node receiving the event is called a Route.
