Texture Coordinate Control Link

Class Name: Texture Coordinate Control Link

Superclass - <Control Link>

Subclasses

This DRM class is concrete and has no subclasses.

Definition

An instance of this DRM class is a specialized <Control Link> instance used to provide the connection between an ordered aggregation of <Expression> instances and the target fields of one or more <Texture Coordinate> instances.

Example

  1. Consider a <Polygon> representing an exterior wall of a building. If an explosion is simulated near this building representation, the data provider may choose to model the state change by changing the <Texture Coordinate> s, t values of the <Polygon>'s <Vertex> components so that the texture applied to the <Polygon> changes from one portion of the referenced <Image>, representing an undamaged wall, to another portion of the same <Image>, showing damage resulting from smoke.

description

 The description field specifies a text description of the given
 <Control Link> instance's purpose.

s_expr_index

 The s_expr_index field specifies which <Expression> component
 controls the s field value of the affected <Texture Coordinate>
 instance(s). If this value is zero, the s field values of those
 instances are not controlled; otherwise, the value is a 1-based
 index into the ordered aggregation of <Expression> instances.

t_expr_index

 The t_expr_index field specifies which <Expression> component
 controls the t field value of the affected <Texture Coordinate>
 instance(s). If this value is zero, the t field values of those
 instances are not controlled; otherwise, the value is a 1-based
 index into the ordered aggregation of <Expression> instances.
