3.12 Coordinate

  exposedField MFVec3f point  []      # (-,)

}

This node defines a set of 3D coordinates to be used in the coord field of vertex-based geometry nodes including IndexedFaceSet, IndexedLineSet, and PointSet.

TECHNICAL NOTE : The VRML 1.0 term for the Coordinate node is Coordinate3. The "3" was originally added in case support for 2D coordinates was added. It was dropped because the VRML 2.0 naming philosophy is to give each node the most obvious name and not try to predict how the specification will change in the future. If carried out to its logical extreme, then a philosophy of planning for future extensions might give Coordinate the name CartesianCoordinate3Float, since support for polar or spherical coordinates might possibly be added in the future, as might double-precision or integer coordinates.

EXAMPLE: See IndexedFaceSet, IndexedLineSet, and PointSet for examples of the Coordinate node.
