I agree completely: when i was saying that "the addition of a getchildren method in the vrmlnode interface would help a lot" i was meaning that such a method leads to a complete abstraction of the traversing process. At the same time it also true that traversing the scene graph is done to accomplish "something" and it is probable that this "something" has to deal with node type information. >At this point, any significant reworking of the NodeVisitor would be >short-lived, as the node rearchitecture will impact this interface >significantly. Can u please tell something more about this subject? Is there any irc or chat channel in which OpenVrml developers usually meet? Thanks Luca |
