Terminology : BranchGroup

Branch graph

• A scene graph rooted in a BranchGroup node

  • Typically one branch for viewing-related nodes (the ViewPlatform, etc.)

  • Typically one branch for 3D content (shapes, sounds, etc.)

A BranchGroup serves as the root of a subgraph, called a branch graph, of the scene graph. Only BranchGroup objects can attach to Locale objects.
