📖 Detailed Description 📖

The SoPointLight class is a node type for light sources.

Pointlights emits light equally in all directions from a specified 3D location.

See also documentation of parent class for important information regarding light sources in general.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

       PointLight {
           on TRUE
           intensity 1
           color 1 1 1
           location 0 0 1
       }

🛠️ Member Function Documentation 🛠️

🌟 SoType SoPointLight::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

okay bestie, gather round. This method returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. It's the one doing run-time type checking and "downward" casting. No cap.

Usage example, exactly as the source gives it:

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
  }
}

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. That's typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually 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.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

  • Reimplemented from SoLight.
  • Reimplemented in SoPointLightManip.

🫶 const SoFieldData * SoPointLight::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

This one returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, it returns NULL. Simple as that.

  • Reimplemented from SoLight.
  • Reimplemented in SoPointLightManip.
  • References SoPointLight().

🔥 void SoPointLight::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way, or who wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL, override this method. Iconic behavior.

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.
  • Reimplemented in SoPointLightManip.
  • References SoLight::color, SoAction::getState(), SbColor4f::getValue(), SbVec4f::getValue(), SoLight::intensity, location, SoLight::on, SoDebugError::post(), and SbColor4f::setRGB().
  • Referenced by SoPointLightManip::GLRender().

📍 Member Data Documentation 📍

SoSFVec3f SoPointLight::location

3D position of lightsource. Default value is <0, 0, 1>. That's the spot, bestie.

okay that's the whole thing, and the footer is giving Coin Version 2.5.0 plus SoPointLight(3). The date wasn't in the source, so I'm not inventing one — no fake dates in this group chat. 💖
