ParamObject.copyParams ( !o3d.ParamObject sourceParamObject )

Copies all the params from a the given source_param_object to this param object. Does not replace any currently existing params with the same name.

Parameters:
sourceParamObject param object to copy params from.
o3d.Param ParamObject.createParam ( string paramName
string paramTypeName )

Creates a Param with the given name and type on the ParamObject. Will fail if a param with the same name already exists.

Parameters:
paramName The name of the Param to be created.
paramTypeName The type of Param to create. Valid types are
  • 'o3d.ParamBoolean'
  • 'o3d.ParamBoundingBox'
  • 'o3d.ParamDrawContext'
  • 'o3d.ParamDrawList'

    • Returns:
    o3d.Param.The newly created Param or null on failure.
    o3d.Param ParamObject.getParam ( string paramName )

    Searches by name for a Param defined in the object.

    Parameters:
    paramName Name to search for.
    Returns:
    o3d.Param.The Param with the given name, or null otherwise.
    boolean ParamObject.isAClassName ( string className ) [inherited from o3d.ObjectBase]

    Takes the name of a class as an argument, and returns true if this object is either an instance of that class or derives from that class. 

    var t = pack.createObject('o3d.Transform');
t.isAClassName('o3d.Transform');    // true
t.isAClassName('o3d.ParamObject');  // true
t.isAClassName('o3d.Shape');        // false
    Parameters:
    className Name of class to check for.
    Returns:
    boolean.true if this object is a or is derived from the given class name.
    boolean ParamObject.removeParam ( !o3d.Param param )

    Removes a Param from a ParamObject. This function will fail if the param does not exist on this ParamObject or if the param is unremovable.

    Parameters:
    param param to remove.
    Returns:
    boolean.True if the param was removed.

    string ParamObject.className [inherited from o3d.ObjectBase]

    The concrete class name for an object derived from ObjectBase. If you want to know if an object is of a certain type you should use objectBase.isAClassName 

    var t = pack.createObject('o3d.Transform');
t.className == 'o3d.Transform';  // true
    This property is read-only.
    number ParamObject.clientId [inherited from o3d.ObjectBase]

    Unique id of the object. This id will be unique, even across multiple O3D clients in the same page. This property is read-only.

    string ParamObject.name [inherited from o3d.NamedObject]

    The object's name. Setting this has no meaning to O3D, but is useful for debugging and for the functions Client.getObjects, Pack.getObject, RenderNode.getRenderNodesByNameInTree and RenderNode.getTransformsByNameInTree which search for objects by name.

    !Array.<!o3d.Param> ParamObject.params

    Gets all the param on this param object. Each access to this field gets the entire list, so it is best to get it just once. For example: 

    var params = paramObject.params;
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
  var param = params[i];
}
    Note that modifications to this array [e.g. push()] will not affect the underlying ParamObject, while modifications to the array's members will affect them. This property is read-only.
