IndexedPrimitiveSet

IndexedPrimitiveSet is a geometry node that can contain a Color, Coordinate, Normal and TextureCoordinate node. Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. You can also substitute a type-matched ProtoInstance for content.

Name	DataType	PartType	Default	ValueType	Description
normalIndex	MFInt32	inputOutput			Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored.
colorIndex	MFInt32	inputOutput			colorIndex indices provide order in which colors are applied. Hint: if rendering Coordinate points originally defined for an IndexedFaceSet, index values may need to repeat initial each initial vertex to close the polygons.
texCoordIndex	MFInt32	inputOutput			List of texture-coordinate indices mapping attached texture to corresponding coordinates. Hint: use a tool!
coord	SFNode	inputOutput		Coordinate	Coordinate node specifiying the vertices used by the geometry.
normal	SFNode	inputOutput		Normal	If not NULL, it shall contain a Normal node whose normals are applied to the vertices or faces of the geometry.
color	SFNode	inputOutput		Color	If NULL the geometry is rendered using the Material and texture defined in the Appearance node. If not NULL the field shall contain a Color node whose colours are applied depending on the value of "colorPerVertex".
texCoord	SFNode	inputOutput		TextureCoordinateBase	If not NULL, it shall contain a TextureCoordinate node.
fogCoord	SFNode	inputOutput		FogCoordinate	If not NULL, it shall contain a FogCoordinate node.
attrib	MFNode	inputOutput		VertexAttribute	If the "attrib" field is not empty it shall contain a list of per-vertex attribute information for programmable shaders
normalPerVertex	SFBool	initializeOnly	TRUE		Whether Normal node is applied per vertex (true) or per polygon (false).
colorPerVertex	SFBool	initializeOnly	TRUE		Whether Color node is applied per vertex (true) or per polygon (false).
ccw	SFBool	initializeOnly	TRUE		ccw = counterclockwise: ordering of vertex coordinates orientation. Hint: "ccw" false can reverse solid (backface culling) and normal-vector orientation.
creaseAngle	SFFloat	initializeOnly	0	[0, Inf)	"creaseAngle" defines angle (in radians) for determining whether adjacent polygons are drawn with sharp edges or smooth shading. If angle between normals of two adjacent polygons is less than "creaseAngle", smooth shading is rendered across the shared line segment. Interchange profile hint: only 0 and radians supported. Hint: creaseAngle=0 means render all edges sharply, creaseAngle=3.14 means render all edges smoothly.
solid	SFBool	initializeOnly	TRUE		Setting "solid" true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting "solid" false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off). Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
showNormalLength	SFFloat	inputOutput	0	[0, Inf)	Length of normals. If zero (default), normals are not shown.
resolution	SFFloat	inputOutput	1		factor for subdivision of mesh
multiResolutionLevel	SFInt32	initializeOnly	1		resolution level in progressive mesh
invalidateVolume	SFBool	inputOutput	FALSE		set volume invalid
normalUpdateMode	SFString	initializeOnly	nice	none; fast; nice	force update of normals; nice update is with creaseAngle, fast is without
cacheMode	SFString	initializeOnly	auto	auto; dlist; vbo; off	controls the creation of geo cache objects; auto is vbo or dlist for dynamic objects
optimizationMode	MFString	inputOutput	auto	auto; all, none, sharedVertex; stripFan; vertexResort; reduceIndexSize; singleIndex	optimization mode settings; used leading +/- to switch modes on and off
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
