public interface VRMLExecutionSpace

The representation of a contained, separable execution space that a node contains.

This class is used to mark a node that contains a separated execution space from the parent node. The two nodes that will use this are proto instances and inlines. The idea is to mark the node instance as being special so that we can treat the contained routes and other items as being important as well as separable from the parent space.

When the class instance that implements this node is created, this node is used as a marker and a way of creating a separate execution and name space for the nodes contained within it. When registering routes, this class should be associated with the routes so that when the parent node is removed from the active scene graph, all of the associated routes will be removed with it. A proto or inline, once removed should not continue to have the routes/scripts etc evaluated.

Method Details

getContainedScene

BasicScene getContainedScene()

Get the contained scene graph that this instance has. This represents everything about the internal scene that the node declaration wraps. This is a real-time representation so that if it the nodes contains a script that changes the internal representation then this instance will be updated to reflect and changes made.

Returns:

The scene contained by this node instance
