addGroupRef(group: EggGroup): Adds a new <Ref> entry to the group. This declares an internal reference to another node, and is used to implement scene-graph instancing; it is only valid if the group_type is GT_instance.

assign(copy: EggGroup) → EggGroup

property billboard_center → LPoint3d: Getter Setter

Sets the point around which the billboard will rotate, if this node contains a billboard specification.

If a billboard type is given but no billboard_center is specified, then the group node is treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the origin. If, however, a billboard_center is specified, then the group node is not treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the specified point.

The point is in the same coordinate system as the vertices of this node: usually global, but possibly local if there is an <Instance> somewhere above. Specifically, this is the coordinate system defined by getVertexFrame().

property billboard_type → BillboardType

property blend_color → LColor

Getter: Returns the blend color if one has been specified, or (0, 0, 0, 0) if one has not.

property default_pose → EggTransform

Getter: Returns a read-only accessor to the initial pose transform. This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.
Setter: Replaces the initial pose transform. This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.

Walks back up the hierarchy, looking for an EggGroup at this level or above that has the “decal” flag set. Returns the value of the decal flag if it is found, or false if it is not.

In other words, returns true if the “decal” flag is in effect for the indicated node, false otherwise.

If this flag is true, geometry at this node and below will be generated as indexed geometry.

property into_collide_mask → CollideMask

isInstanceType() → bool

Returns true if this group is an instance type node; i.e. it begins the root of a local coordinate space. This is not related to instancing (multiple copies of a node in a scene graph).

This also includes the case of the node including a billboard flag without an explicit center, which implicitly makes the node behave like an instance.

This is the <DefaultPose> entry for a Joint, and defines only the initial transform pose for the unanimated joint; it has nothing to do with the group’s <Transform> entry, which defines the (eventual) space of the group’s vertices.

setBillboardCenter(billboard_center: panda3d.core.LPoint3d)

Sets the point around which the billboard will rotate, if this node contains a billboard specification.

If a billboard type is given but no billboard_center is specified, then the group node is treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the origin. If, however, a billboard_center is specified, then the group node is not treated as an <Instance>, and the billboard rotates around the specified point.

The point is in the same coordinate system as the vertices of this node: usually global, but possibly local if there is an <Instance> somewhere above. Specifically, this is the coordinate system defined by getVertexFrame().

setSwitchFlag(flag: bool)

setSwitchFps(fps: float)

setTag(key: str, value: str)

Associates a user-defined value with a user-defined key which is stored on the node. This value has no meaning to Panda; but it is stored indefinitely on the node until it is requested again. This value will be copied to the PandaNode that is created for this particular EggGroup if the egg file is loaded as a scene.
