Member Function Documentation

virtual string H3D::X3DAppearanceNode::defaultXMLContainerField (   )  [inline, virtual]

Returns the default xml containerField attribute value. For this node it is "appearance". Reimplemented from H3D::Node.

virtual void H3D::X3DAppearanceNode::preRender (   )  [inline, virtual]

This function will be called by the X3DShapeNode before any rendering of geometry and before the call to the render function. So this is the place to save the states that are going to be changed in render() in order to restore it in postRender(). Reimplemented in H3D::Appearance.
