SoSFTime(3)

✨ SoSFTime ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about SoSFTime from the Coin library (that's the manual page SoSFTime(3) if you're keeping track 💅). it's a container for an SbTime value, and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty." no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoSFTime — the class that holds a single SbTime value. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFTime.h>

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

okay so SoSFTime is literally just a container for an SbTime value. it's the single-value sibling, the main character of time fields. 🕐✨

you use this field whenever a node, engine, or any other field container needs to store one single time representation. just one. singular. she's not a collection, she's a one-time-value kind of girlie. 💁‍♀️

and here's a fun fact: a field of this type stores its value to file as a floating point number. so when you're writing out your scene, it's just a lil float, no big deal. 💖

See also: SoMFTime — that's the multi-value version if you need a whole squad of times instead of just one. 🫶

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

✨ SoType SoSFTime::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual] ✨

returns the type identification instance which uniquely identifies the Coin field class the object belongs to. it's like a lil ID card for your field, so the system knows exactly what it's working with. 🪪💅

See also: getClassTypeId(), SoType

Implements SoField.

✨ void SoSFTime::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual] ✨

copies value(s) from f into this field. but bestie, listen — f must be of the same type as this field. don't try to copy from some random field type, that's not the vibe and it won't work. 🙈

Implements SoField.

✨ SbBool SoSFTime::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual] ✨

checks for equal type and value(s). so it's not just "do you look the same," it's "are you actually the same." a true vibe check. 💯

Implements SoField.

and that's the whole page, bestie! 🎀 this was Coin Version 2.5.0, page SoSFTime(3), and you absolutely ate this documentation. go forth and store your time values with confidence. mwah! 💖💅🦋
