vrworld/addexternproto
Add externproto declaration to virtual world
Syntax
addexternproto(vrworld_object, protofile, protoname)
addexternproto(vrworld_object, protofile, protoname, protodef)
Arguments
vrworld_object A vrworld object representing the virtual world.
protofile String containing the name of the prototype file from which the
EXTERNPROTO declaration is added.
protoname String containing the name of the EXTERNPROTO declaration.
protodef String containing a new name for the EXTERNPROTO declaration.
Description
addexternproto(vrworld_object, protofile, protoname) adds an
EXTERNPROTO declaration from file protofile to the virtual world. The handle
vrworld_object refers to the virtual world. The EXTERNPROTO declaration is identified
as protoname. If protoname is a cell array of identifiers, the function adds multiple
EXTERNPROTOs from one file to the virtual world.
addexternproto(vrworld_object, protofile, protoname, protodef) adds
an EXTERNPROTO declaration from file protofile to the virtual world. The handle
vrworld_object refers to the virtual world. The EXTERNPROTO declaration is identified
as protoname. If protoname is a cell array of identifiers, the function adds multiple
EXTERNPROTOs from one file to the virtual world. This command then renames the new
EXTERNPROTO declaration to protodef.
In both cases, the EXTERNPROTO declaration becomes equivalent to the VRML PROTO
declaration. In other words, protoname or protodef becomes an internal PROTO type
