Bindable
Bindable is the abstract base type for all bindable children nodes (e.g Background, Fog, NavigationInfo and Viewpoint ). All Bindable derived nodes (= a bindable node) have the unique behaviour that only one of each type can be bound (i.e., affect the user's experience) at any instant in time. If the node is bound it is active for the current scene. The system maintains an independent, separate stack for each type of bindable node (e.g. ViewBindable) for every scenegraph

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
| id | Name | DataType | PartType | Default | ValueType | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
bind | XFAny | inputOnly | sending any event to this slot will bind/activate the Bindable | ||
 |
set_bind | SFBool | inputOnly | Sending event set_bind=true makes this node active. Sending event set_bind=false makes this node inactive. Thus setting set_bind to true/false will pop/push (enable/disable) this Bindable | ||
 |
bindTime | SFTime | outputOnly | Event sent when node becomes active/inactive. | ||
|
isBound | SFBool | outputOnly | FALSE | Event true sent when node becomes active, event false sent when unbound by another node. | |
|
isDefault | SFBool | initializeOnly | FALSE | indicates if the object is the default bindable or not (generated if the scene did not contain any Bindable of a missing Type (e.g. Viewpoint)) | |
 |
description | SFString | initializeOnly | Text description or navigation hint to be displayed for this Bindable. Hint: make descriptions clear and readable. Warning: without description, Bindable (e.g. Viewpoint objs) can not be activated/deactivated with keyboard or gui messages (e.g. switched with PgUp bzw PgDn) | ||
|
triggerName | SFString | initializeOnly | Synchronize | name of the dynamic context-slot which is used by the run-time environment (e.g. Jobs) to trigger the node. Life-Nodes will automatically connect the context-eventOutut to the triggerSlot-eventInput Slot. | |
 |
logFeature | MFString | inputOutput | state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut | controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything | |
 |
metadata | SFNode | inputOutput | MetadataObject | container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element |
