Inline Node

In VRML you can split your world over a set of files. This simplifies world design, and lets you reuse world parts in many worlds. For instance you can have a set of shapes that draw a door in a file door.wrl and use the file in a house, contained in a file house.wrl.

The Inline node lets you specify a url where the data can be retrieved from. The url must contain a valid and complete VRML file, header included.

The following fields are present:

url which lets you specify the location of the file to be included. You can specify multiple locations if you want to, the browser will look for data in those locations in decreasing order of preference.

bboxCenter specifies where the center of a box that encloses the nodes in the inlined file. The value for this field is a 3D point.

bboxSize specifies where the size of a box that encloses the nodes in the inlined file. By default this field has a value of -1 -1 -1, which implies that no box is defined. The values for this field must be greater than or equal to zero.

The latter two fields are optional. They can be used by the browser for optimization purposes.

Note that any node definitions using DEF which occur inside the inlined file are not visible outside the inlined file.

Syntax:

Inline {

url []

bboxCenter 0 0 0

bboxSize -1 -1 -1

}
