ColorRGBA

Overview

ColorRGBA node defines a set of RGBA color values that apply either to a sibling Coordinate or CoordinateDouble node, or else to a parent ElevationGrid node. ColorRGBA is only used by ElevationGrid, IndexedFaceSet, IndexedLineSet, LineSet, PointSet, Triangle* and IndexedTriangle* nodes.

The ColorRGBA node belongs to the Rendering component and requires at least support level 1, its default container field is color. It is available from X3D version 3.0 or higher.
