Detailed Description

The Shape node has two fields, appearance and geometry, which are used to create rendered objects in the world.

The appearance field contains an Appearance node that specifies the visual attributes (e.g., material and texture) to be applied to the geometry. The geometry field contains an X3DGeometryNode. The specified geometry node is rendered with the specified appearance nodes applied. If the geometry field is NULL, the object is not drawn. The hapticGeometry field also contains a X3DGeometryNode. If specified, this geometry will be used for haptic rendering, enabling separate geometries for graphics and haptics. If hapticsGeometry is NULL, the geometry in the geometry field will be used for haptics as well as graphics.

The bboxCenter and bboxSize fields specify a bounding box that encloses the Shape node's geometry. This is a hint that may be used for optimization purposes. The results are undefined if the specified bounding box is smaller than the actual bounding box of the geometry at any time. A default bboxSize value, (-1, -1, -1), implies that the bounding box is not specified and, if needed, is calculated by the browser.
