Fields⤴

These are the X3D / X3DOM fields of this node. Values should usually be received / set as strings via DOM functions (i.e., using setAttribute("myFieldName", "myFieldValue") and getAttribute("myFieldName")).

Name	Type	Default Value	Range	Inheritance	Description
bind	SFBool	false		Core/X3DBindableNode	Pushes/pops the node on/from the top of the bindable stack
bindTime	SFTime	null		Core/X3DBindableNode	Event sent reporting timestamp when node becomes active/inactive. Only appears in messages
centerOfRotation	SFVec3f	0,0,0			The centerOfRotation field specifies a center about which to rotate the user's eyepoint when in EXAMINE mode. The coordinates are provided in the coordinate system specified by geoSystem.
description	SFString	""		Core/X3DBindableNode	Description of the bindable node
elevationScaling	SFBool	true			Enable/disable elevation scaled speed for automatic adjustment of user movement as recommended in spec. Custom field to allow disabling for performance
farClippingPlane	SFFloat	-1	-1 or [0, inf]	Navigation/X3DViewpointNode	Specifies the far clipping plane, alias for zFar
fieldOfView	SFFloat	0.785398	[0, pi]		Preferred minimum viewing angle from this viewpoint in radians. Small field of view roughly corresponds to a telephoto lens, large field of view roughly corresponds to a wide-angle lens. Hint: modifying Viewpoint distance to object may be better for zooming. Warning: fieldOfView may not be correct for different window sizes and aspect ratios. Interchange profile hint: this field may be ignored.
geoOrigin	SFNode	Navigation/X3DViewpointNode			The geoOrigin field is used to specify a local coordinate frame for extended precision.
geoSystem	MFString	['GD','WE']	{["GD", ...], ["UTM", ...], ["GC", ...]}		The geoSystem field is used to define the spatial reference frame.
headlight	SFBool	undefined			Enable/disable directional light that always points in the direction the user is looking. Removed in X3D V3.3. See NavigationInfo still supported but required changing default to undefined since could be already given by NavigationInfo
isActive	SFBool	false		Core/X3DBindableNode
isBound	SFBool	false		Core/X3DBindableNode	Output event true gets sent when node becomes bound and activated, otherwise output event false gets sent when node becomes unbound and deactivated. Only appears in messages
metadata	SFNode	X3DMetadataObject		Core/X3DNode	Field to add metadata information
navigationInfo	SFBool	null		Navigation/X3DViewpointNode	Defines a dedicated NavigationInfo node for this X3DViewpointNode. The specified NavigationInfo node receives a set_bind TRUE event at the time when the parent node is bound and receives a set_bind FALSE at the time when the parent node is unbound.
navType	MFString	undefined			Specifies the navigation type. Removed in X3D V3.3. See NavigationInfo still supported but required changing default to undefined since could be already given by NavigationInfo
nearClippingPlane	SFFloat	-1	-1 or [0, inf]	Navigation/X3DViewpointNode	Specifies the near clipping plane, alias for zNear
orientation	SFRotation	0,0,1,0			The orientation fields of the Viewpoint node specifies relative orientation to the default orientation.
position	SFVec3d	0,0,100000			The position fields of the Viewpoint node specifies a relative location in the local coordinate system. The coordinates are provided in the coordinate system specified by geoSystem.
speedFactor	SFFloat	1.0	[0, inf]		The speedFactor field of the GeoViewpoint node is used as a multiplier to the elevation-based velocity that the node sets internally; i.e., this is a relative value and not an absolute speed as is the case for the NavigationInfo node.
viewAll	SFBool	false		Navigation/X3DViewpointNode	When the viewAll field is set to TRUE or a viewpoint is bound with viewAll field TRUE, the current view is modified to change the centerOfRotation field to match center of the bounding box for the entire visible scene, and the orientation field is modified to aim at that point. Finally, the zoom position or fieldofview is adjusted to contain the entire scene in the current viewing window. If needed, the near and far clipping planes shall be adjusted to allow viewing the entire scene. When the value of the viewAll field is changed from TRUE to FALSE, no change in the current view occurs.
