X3D for Web Authors, Chapter 07 - Event Animation Interpolation
![[1] CircleFishPositionInterpolator.x3d - Book View](_viewpoints/CircleFishPositionInterpolator.x3d._VP_Book View.png)
|
Event animation and interpolation is accomplished by ROUTE connections that pass events between nodes. Strong typing requirements ensure that only valid values are allowed to modify the scene graph.
The TimeSensor node produces output stimulus events that track the passage of time intervals using the computer clock. Interpolation values are produced by ScalarInterpolator, ColorInterpolator, PositionInterpolator/PositionInterpolator2D, OrientationInterpolator, NormalInterpolator and CoordinateInterpolator/CoordinateInterpolator2D nodes. The supporting Chapter 7 slideset and course videos are available online via X3dGraphics.com.
