Numerous X3D nodes are available for presenting points, lines, and a variety of polygonal meshes.


Color Per Vertex Examples

Many kinds of geometry can be created using PointSet, LineSet, IndexedLineSet, IndexedFaceSet, ElevationGrid and Extrusion nodes. Each is placed individually inside a Shape node.

Geometric properties are controlled by Color, ColorRGBA, Coordinate, CoordinateDouble, Normal, TextureCoordinate, TextureCoordinateGenerator and MultiTextureCoordinate nodes.

The supporting Chapter 6 slideset and course videos (NPS, YouTube) for X3D for Web Authors are available online via X3dGraphics.com.
