Method Detail
{Box3D}
getBoundingBox()
Get the axis aligned, not transformed bounding box of this node.
This means that if this node is an animated 3d character, moving in a room, the bounding box will
always be around the origin. To get the box in real world coordinates, just transform it with the matrix
you receive with getAbsoluteTransformation() or simply use getTransformedBoundingBox(), which does the same.
- Returns:
- {Box3D} Bounding box of this scene node.
{Vect2d}
getSize()

- Returns:
- {Vect2d}
{String}
getType()
Returns the type string of the scene node.
Returns 'billboard' for the mesh scene node.
- Returns:
- {String} type name of the scene node.
setSize(x, y)
