package Vrml 

	---Purpose: Vrml package  implements the specification  of the
	--          VRML ( Virtual  Reality Modeling Language ).  VRML
	--          is a standard  language for describing interactive
	--          3-D objects and  worlds delivered across Internet.
	--          Actual version of Vrml package have made for objects 
	--          of VRML version 1.0.  
        --          This package is used by VrmlConverter package.   
    	--          The developer should  already be familiar with VRML 
        --          specification before using this package.

    	--                     Coordinate System

    	--  VRML uses a Cartesian, right-handed, 3-dimensional coordinate system.  
    	--  By default, objects are projected onto a 2-dimensional device by projecting  
    	--  them in the direction of the positive Z axis, with the positive X axis to  
    	--  the right and the positive Y axis up. A camera or modeling transformation  
    	--  may be used to alter this default  projection. 
    	--  The standard unit for lengths and distances specified is meters.  
    	--  The standard unit for angles is radians.

    	--                           Fields

    	--  There are two general classes of fields; fields that contain a single value  
    	--  (where a value may be a single number, a vector, or even an image), and fields that  
    	--  contain multiple values. Single-valued fields all have names that begin with "SF",  
    	--  multiple-valued fields have names that begin with "MF". Each field type defines  
    	--  the format for the values it writes.  

    	--                            Nodes

    	--  VRML defines several different classes of nodes. Most of the nodes can be classified  
    	--  into one of three categories;  shape, property or group. Shape nodes define the geometry  
    	--  in the world. Conceptually, they are the only nodes  that draw anything. Property nodes  
    	--  affect the way shapes are drawn. And grouping nodes gather other nodes together, allowing  
    	--  collections of nodes to be treated as a single object. Some group nodes also control  
    	--  whether or not their children are drawn. 
    	--  Nodes may contain zero or more fields. Each node type defines the type, name, and default  
    	--  value for each of its fields. The default value for the field is used if a value for  
    	--  the field is not specified in the VRML file. 

    	--                             Instancing

	--  A node may be the child of more than one group. This is called "instancing" (using the same  
    	--  instance of a node multiple times, called "aliasing" or "multiple references" by other  
    	--  systems), and is accomplished by using the "USE" and  "DEF  keywords.
