copied from mw-latest-spec.htm.

Restrictions

General

SE-VRML and draft versions of VRML 2.0 are not supported. Files in these formats may cause mulfunctioning of this product.
JavaScript/VrmlScript are not supported.

Browser.createVrmlFromString / Browser.createVrmlFromUrl

When you create nodes using those Java APIs, you cannot put textures on graphical objects.

PROTO / EXTERNPROTO

You cannot use instances of PROTO / EXTERNPROTO as a value of Sony_BindSharedNode's transformNode field.
You can route events from/to fields in PROTO instances. But it depends on nodes in the PROTO definition whether the events work correctly. Please refer to the table below to see which fields work properly.

Nodes of VRML2.0

How to Read Tables

Columns

func:
Is this functionality implemented.
route:
event routing is available by ROUTE statement.
read:
Using Java, you can read the current value of a field, or the last event value for an eventOut by getting the reference to the field or eventOut.
write:
Using Java, you can change the current value of a field, or send an event to an eventIn by getting the reference to the field or eventIn.

Meaning of the marks

- : not applicable.
O : implemented.
X : not implemented yet.
* : partly implemented.

Implementation of each node

Following tables are categorized by VRML 2.0 Specification on Aug 4, 1996.

Anchor

			func	route	read	write
eventIn	MFNode	addChildren	-	O	-	O
eventIn	MFNode	removeChildren	-	O	-	O
exposedField	MFNode	children	O	X	X	X
exposedField	SFString	description	O	O	O	O

exposedField	MFString	url	*	O	O	O
field	SFVec3f	bboxCenter	*	-	-	-
field	SFVec3f	bboxSize	*	-	-	-

Notes:
url field does not support the initial viewpoint described by "#ViewpointName". Even if you specify a viewpoint, it is ignored.
The place/size of bbox is calculated from the objects in an Anchor automatically. So, you cannot set them.

When the normalPerVertex field is TRUE and the normal field is NULL, normal vectors of each vertex are calculated for smooth shading. The value of creaseAngle is ignored.

When the normalPerVertex field is TRUE, smooth shading is used, and when the normalPerVertex field is FALSE, flat shading is used. Parameter "creaseAngle" effects as following:
When the normalPerVertex field is TRUE and the normal field is NULL, normal vectors of each vertex are calculated for smooth shading. The value of creaseAngle is ignored.
