VRML base object definition for EAI based nodes

This class is subclassed from the Generic VrmlObject allowing complete portability of code. This class extends the core functionality by adding support for a Browser object reference.

Author:

Justin Couch justin@vlc.com.au

browser

Static Browser reference that allows calling of default constructors without the need to carry around separate references

have_browser

If we have a browser reference (either static or dynamically set this is true.

local_browser

A copy of the reference to the browser that this class used when it was created.

node

The internal reference to the VRML representation of the node.

write_count

this is limited in access only to classes of this package.

VrmlObject()

The Basic protected constructor.

VrmlObject(Browser)

Constructor to copy the nominated Browser reference into the local copy.

set_browser(Browser)

Used to set the internal browser reference once.

writeReset()

Used for maintaining the reference counting when trying to do DEF/USE in the write to stream method.

 protected boolean have_browser

If we have a browser reference (either static or dynamically set this is true. Used by all get and set methods to determine if they should also reference the in scene version or just local copies

 protected static Browser browser

Static Browser reference that allows calling of default constructors without the need to carry around separate references

 public Node node

The internal reference to the VRML representation of the node. Left public so you can use it to add your own ROUTEs between nodes.

 public int write_count

this is limited in access only to classes of this package. It is used for maintaining the reference counting when trying to do DEF/USE in the write to stream method.
Overrides the one provided in the base class

 protected Browser local_browser

A copy of the reference to the browser that this class used when it was created. This is needed for cloning so that the cloned object creates the clone in the same browser environment that the original was created in.

 protected VrmlObject()

The Basic protected constructor. This is used to copy the static global browser reference into the local one.

 protected VrmlObject(Browser browserUsed)

Constructor to copy the nominated Browser reference into the local copy. This should be called when the derived class constructor that takes a Browser reference is called.

Parameters:

browserUsed - The browser to be used.

 public void writeReset()

Used for maintaining the reference counting when trying to do DEF/USE in the write to stream method.

Overrides:

writeReset in class VrmlObject

 public static void set_browser(Browser b)

Used to set the internal browser reference once. Then allows you to call the standard constructors without carrying around Browser references all through your application
