SoSFVec3f(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

bestie. okay so. SoSFVec3f — it's a container for an SbVec3f vector. that's the whole job. a little box that holds exactly one 3D vector. iconic behavior honestly 💅

this page is SoSFVec3f(3) and it lives in the Library Functions Manual ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first of all, the include. you gotta have it or nothing works, fr fr:

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFVec3f.h>

oh and btw, it Inherits SoSField. family tree matters here 🫶

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

no cap, the SoSFVec3f class is a container for an SbVec3f vector. that's it, that's the tea 🍓

so where do you even use this? anywhere a node, engine or other field container needs to store a single vector with three elements. one vector. three elements. very demure, very mindful 🧚

side note bestie: if you wanted many vectors instead of one, that's the SoMFVec3f situation. the SF is single, the MF is multi. iykyk 💅

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

SoType SoSFVec3f::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

gives you back the type identification instance that uniquely identifies which Coin field class this object belongs to. like a little ID card but for types 👑

See also

• getClassTypeId(), SoType

Implements SoField.

void SoSFVec3f::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

copies the value(s) from f into this field. important: f must be of the same type as this field. don't try to sneak a different type in here, it will not slay 😭

Implements SoField.

SbBool SoSFVec3f::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

checks for equal type and value(s). both. type AND value. it's thorough 💖

Implements SoField.

void SoSFVec3f::setValue (const float x, const float y, const float z)

sets the value of the vector. three floats, in, out, done ✨

void SoSFVec3f::setValue (const float xyz[3])

sets the value of the vector. this time you're handing it an array of 3 instead 🦋

okay that's the whole page bestie!! and for the cute sign-off: this was Coin, Version 2.5.0, and it's filed under SoSFVec3f(3). go forth and store exactly one 3D vector, you absolute icon 👑💖✨
