public class Field
extends DNXObject
implements Cloneable
This is the base class of all fields. For each field in each node, there's a corresponding object that is a subclass of this class. This contains a back pointer to the Node it's contained in as well as the actual data stored in the field. All of the actual field classes are contained in the dnx.lr.field package.

Variable Index

o owner
This is the Node that this field is in.
o showInstanceNumber

Constructor Index

o Field()

Method Index

o clone()
o clone(Node)
This is used, among other things, when a new node is created -- the fields representing the default values (which are stored in the NodeDefinition) are cloned to produce the fields in a Node.
o copy(Field)
o createField(String)
Creates a field of a specified type.
o free()
o getNodeTreeContext()
o getOwner()
o getSceneContext()
o print(PrintAction)
o read(ReadAction)
Read in the value of the field from a source.
o readInternal(ReadAction)
Implementation of read().
o toString()
o typeName()
Get the type name of this field.

Variables

o owner 
  protected Node owner
This is the Node that this field is in. Fields are static in a Node -- they can never be deleted from a node and never inserted (except at creation time).
o showInstanceNumber 
  public static boolean showInstanceNumber

Constructors

o Field 
  public Field()

Methods

o getOwner 
  public Node getOwner()
o getNodeTreeContext 
  public NodeTreeContext getNodeTreeContext()
o getSceneContext 
  public SceneContext getSceneContext()
o read 
  public final void read(ReadAction r) throws IOException, VRMLSyntaxException
Read in the value of the field from a source. For simple fields like SFFloats, this just reads in a number. For some fields like SFImage or MFVec3f, this will do a lot more.
o readInternal 
  protected abstract void readInternal(ReadAction r) throws IOException, VRMLSyntaxException
Implementation of read(). Fields should override this.
o print 
  public void print(PrintAction p)
o free 
  public abstract void free()
o copy 
  public abstract void copy(Field f)
o clone 
  protected Object clone(Node owner)
This is used, among other things, when a new node is created -- the fields representing the default values (which are stored in the NodeDefinition) are cloned to produce the fields in a Node.
o clone 
  public Object clone()
Overrides:
clone in class Object
o typeName 
  public String typeName()
Get the type name of this field. The type name is the field name used in PROTO definitions--just the class name without the package prefix.
Overrides:
typeName in class DNXObject
o toString 
  public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object
o createField 
  public static Field createField(String fieldName)
Creates a field of a specified type. It returns null if the field could not be created (because the class couldn't be found or instanced.)
