(Inherits vrdNode)

Class for a node with a material.

In the Scenegraph, this is a Material Group node. In the Material Editor, this node type is used to hold materials in the material graph.

# create a material group node in the Scenegraph:
c = vrMaterialService.createMaterial("c", vrMaterialTypes.Chrome)
sphere = vrGeometryService.createSphere(vrScenegraphService.getRootNode(), 100)
mg = vrScenegraphService.createNode(vrScenegraphTypes.NodeType.MaterialNode)
mg.children.append(sphere)
mg.setMaterial(c)
