Syntax

mynode = vrnode
mynode = vrnode([])
mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object,'node_name')
mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object, 'node_name','node_type')
mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object, 'USE', othernode)
mynode = vrnode(parent_node,'parent_field', 'node_name', 
'node_type')
mynode = vrnode(parent_node,'parent_field', 'USE', 
'othernode')

Arguments

Description

mynode = vrnode creates an empty vrnode handle that does not reference any node.

mynode = vrnode([]) creates an empty array of vrnode handles.

mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object,'node_name') creates a handle to an existing named node in the virtual world.

mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object, 'node_name','node_type') creates a new node called node_name of type node_type on the root of the virtual world. It returns the handle to the newly created node.

mynode = vrnode(vrworld_object, 'USE', othernode) creates a USE reference to the node othernode on the root of the world vrworld_object. It returns the handle to the virtual world to the original node.

mynode = vrnode(parent_node,'parent_field', 'node_name','node_type') creates a new node called node_name of type node_type that is a child of the parent_node and resides in the field parent_field. It returns the handle to the newly created node.

mynode = vrnode(parent_node,'parent_field', 'USE', 'othernode') creates a USE reference to the node othernode as a child of node parentnode and resides in the field parentfield. It returns the handle to the original node.

A vrnode object identifies a virtual world node in a way very similar to a handle. If you apply the vrnode method to a node that does not exist, the method creates a node, the vrnode object, and returns the handle to the vrnode object. If you apply the vrnode method to an existing node, the method returns the handle to the vrnode object associated with this node.
