Syntax

h = Aero.VirtualRealityAnimation

Description

h = Aero.VirtualRealityAnimation constructs a virtual reality animation object. The animation object is returned to h.

The animation object has the following methods and properties.

Constructor Summary

Constructor	Description
`VirtualRealityAnimation`	Construct virtual reality animation object.

Method Summary

Method	Description
`addNode`	Add existing node to current virtual reality world.
`addRoute`	Add VRML ROUTE statement to virtual reality animation.
`addViewpoint`	Add viewpoint for virtual reality animation.
`delete`	Destroy virtual reality animation object.
`initialize`	Create and populate virtual reality animation object.
`nodeInfo`	Create list of nodes associated with virtual reality animation object.
`play`	Animate virtual reality world for given position and angle in time series data.
`removeNode`	Remove node from virtual reality animation object.
`removeViewpoint`	Remove viewpoint node from virtual reality animation.
`saveas`	Save virtual reality world associated with virtual reality animation object.
`updateNodes`	Set new translation and rotation of moveable items in virtual reality animation.

Notes on Aero.VirtualRealityAnimation Methods

Aero.VirtualRealityAnimation methods that change the current virtual reality world use a temporary .wrl file to manage those changes. These methods include:

Be aware of the following behavior:

After the methods make the changes, they reinitialize the world, using the information stored in the temporary .wrl file.
When you delete the virtual reality animation object, this action deletes the temporary file.
Use the saveas method to save the temporary .wrl file.
These methods do not affect user-created .wrl files.
