DESCRIPTION

75       This node specifies how the current normals are bound  to  shapes  that
76       follow  in the scene graph. Each shape node may interpret bindings dif‐
77       ferently.
78
79       The bindings for faces and vertices are meaningful only for shapes that
80       are  made  from faces and vertices. Similarly, the indexed bindings are
81       only used by the shapes that allow indexing. For bindings that  require
82       multiple  normals,  be sure to have at least as many normals defined as
83       are necessary; otherwise, errors will occur.
84
