SoInterpolateVec3f(3)

📦 version 2.5.0, in fedora 43, fedora 44

🌸 SoInterpolateVec3f(3) — the Library Functions Manual glow-up 🌸

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is SoInterpolateVec3f(3), straight out of the Library Functions Manual, and she is exactly what she sounds like: a Coin engine that interpolates between pairs of 3D vectors. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

SoInterpolateVec3f — the class that's used to interpolate between pairs of 3D vectors. that's the whole job. she interpolates. she's an engine. periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/engines/SoInterpolateVec3f.h>

Inherits SoInterpolate. yes she's part of the family, she got it from her mama. 🌈

🔥 Detailed Description 🔥

okay so the whole vibe: the SoInterpolateVec3f class is used to interpolate between pairs of 3D vectors. that's it, that's the girl. she takes two sets of vectors and does the in-between thing. iconic behavior. 💖

✨ Member Function Documentation ✨

⭐ SoType SoInterpolateVec3f::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

gives you back the type identification of an object derived from a class that inherits SoBase. this is what you use for run-time type checking and "downward" casting. it's giving detective energy 🔍

Usage example, copy it exactly bestie:

void foo(SoNode * node)
{
  if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
    SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
  else if (node->getTypeId().isOfType(SoGroup::getClassTypeId())) {
    SoGroup * group = (SoGroup *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
}

so for all the application programmers who wanna extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or whatever else — this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. no skipping it. 💅 you typically do this as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which usually gets accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through, for instance, Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

and if you want the full tea on writing Coin extensions, check the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups. 🫶

⭐ const SoFieldData * SoInterpolateVec3f::getFieldData (void ) const [virtual]

hands you a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. and if there are no fields present? it returns NULL. simple as that. 💀

Reimplemented from SoInterpolate.

⭐ const SoEngineOutputData * SoInterpolateVec3f::getOutputData (void ) const [virtual]

heads up bestie: this API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. so like, not your business unless it's your business. 🙈
