Grouping nodes help to organize the scene graph, can establish relative coordinate systems, and can contain most other kinds of X3D nodes. Grouping nodes include the Anchor, Billboard, Collision, Group, StaticGroup, Switch and Transform nodes. The Inline node is related, containing nodes loaded from another X3D scene retrieved via a local or online url address. The supporting Chapter 3 slideset and course videos are available online via X3dGraphics.com. |
