Unit

X3DNodes

Declaration

type TMFNode = class(TX3DMultField)

Description

VRML/X3D field holding a list of nodes.

Just like SFNode, it's defined in this unit, as it uses TX3DNode. Note that items of MFNode cannot be nil (i.e. VRML/X3D doesn't allow to use NULL inside MFNode), contrary to SFNode.

Note that TMFNode implementation doesn't use TX3DSimpleMultField. One reason is that we don't want to parse MFNode items by SFNode parser, because MFNode doesn't allow NULL items. (In the past, another argument was that we want to use TX3DNodeList and it wasn't compatible with TX3DSimpleMultField. But now TX3DNodeList descends from TFPSList, so it isn't a problem.)

Just like for TSFNode: Note that we store AllowedChildren list, which is a list of classes allowed as Items. But this is used only to produce warnings for a user. You should never assert that every item actually is one the requested classes.

Description

Methods

Public constructor CreateUndefined(const AParentNode: TX3DFileItem; const AExposed: boolean; const AName: string); override;

Construct a field allowing any children class. Suitable only for special cases. For example, in instantiated prototypes, we must initially just allow all children, otherwise valid prototypes with SFNode/MFNode would cause warnings when parsing.

Public constructor Create(const AParentNode: TX3DNode; const AExposed: boolean; const AName: string; const AAllowedChildrenClasses: array of TX3DNodeClass); overload;
 
Public constructor Create(const AParentNode: TX3DNode; const AExposed: boolean; const AName: string; const AAllowedChildrenClasses: TX3DNodeClassesList); overload;

Constructor that takes a list of allowed children classes. Note that we copy the contents of AAllowedChildrenClasses, not the reference.

Public constructor Create(const AParentNode: TX3DNode; const AExposed: boolean; const AName: string; const AnAllowedChildrenFunctionality: TNodeFunctionalityClass); overload;

Constructor that allows as children any implementor of given functionality.

Public destructor Destroy; override;
 
Public procedure Replace(const Index: Integer; Node: TX3DNode);
 
Public procedure Add(Node: TX3DNode); overload;
 
Public procedure Add(Position: Integer; Node: TX3DNode); overload;
 
Public procedure Delete(Index: Integer);
 
Public function Remove(const Node: TX3DNode): Integer;

Search list for given node, and, if found, remove it. Returns the index of removed item, or -1 if not found.

Public function Extract(Index: Integer): TX3DNode;

Remove child with given Index, and return it, never freeing it. This is analogous to TX3DNode.ExtractChild, see there for more explanation.

Public procedure Clear;
 
Public procedure AssignItems(const SourceItems: TX3DNodeList); overload;
 
Public procedure AssignItems(const SourceItems: array of TX3DNode); overload;
 
Public procedure ParseValue(Lexer: TX3DLexer; Reader: TX3DReader); override;
 
Public procedure ParseXMLAttribute(const AttributeValue: string; Reader: TX3DReader); override;
 
Public procedure ParseXMLElement(Element: TDOMElement; Reader: TX3DReader); override;

Public procedure UnassignDefaultValue; override;
 
Public class function X3DType: string; override;
 
Public class function CreateEvent(const AParentNode: TX3DFileItem; const AName: string; const AInEvent: boolean): TX3DEvent; override;
 
Public procedure WarningIfChildNotAllowed(Child: TX3DNode);

Checks is Child allowed on the list of nodes of this MFNode, and makes WritelnWarning if not.

Check is allowed is done looking at AllowedChildrenAll and AllowedChildren properties.

Child must not be Nil.

WritelnWarning message will suggest that this Child is added to this node. In other words, you should only pass as Child a node that you want to add (e.g. by Add) to this field, otherwise WritelnWarning message will be a little unsensible.

Public function ChildAllowed(Child: TX3DNode): boolean;
 
Public procedure AssignDefaultItems(const SourceDefaultItems: TX3DNodeList);

Operate on DefaultItems, just like analogous AssignItems and Clear.

Public procedure ClearDefault;
 
Public function Enumerate(Func: TEnumerateChildrenFunction): Pointer;

Calls Func for all current children. Stops if Func returns something non-nil. The main use for this is to simplify implementation of TX3DNode.DirectEnumerateActive overrides in TX3DNode descendants.

Public procedure Send(const AValue: array of TX3DNode); overload;

Set the field's value in a correct way (by sending X3D event, or at least notifying the parent scene).

Public function FindName(const AName: string): TX3DNode;

Find node by name, Nil if not found.

For empty node name, always returns Nil. This follows the definition of TX3DNode.X3DName: empty means that node has no name, so it should not be found by searches by name, ever.

See also
Returns the node index. This is sometimes more flexible (you can always quickly get actual node knowing the index, by Items[Index], but not the other way around). It is also sometimes less comfortable (often you're not interested in node index).
Find index of a node with given name, -1 if not found.
Public function IndexOfName(const AName: string): Integer;

Find index of a node with given name, -1 if not found.

Public function IndexOf(const ANode: TX3DNode): Integer;

Find index of a node , -1 if not found.

Properties

Public property Items[constIndex:Integer]: TX3DNode read GetItems write Replace;

Items of this field.

Public property ItemsArray[Index:Integer]: TX3DNode read GetItems; deprecated 'use Items (default array property)';

Warning: this symbol is deprecated: use Items (default array property)

 
Public property ParentNode: TX3DNode read FParentNode;
 
Public property DefaultItems: TX3DNodeList read FDefaultItems;

Lists default items of this field.

Do not modify this list explicitly. Use only methods in this class like AssignDefaultItems (they take care of calling appropriate AddParentField / RemoveParentField, otherwise you could break reference-counting of nodes by ParentFields).

Public property DefaultValueExists: boolean read FDefaultValueExists write FDefaultValueExists default false;
