SoVRMLVertexShape(3)

📦 version 2.5.0, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 SoVRMLVertexShape 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SoVRMLVertexShape(3) — it's a Library Functions Manual page and it's a whole vibe, so grab a boba and let's go 🧋✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoVRMLVertexShape — the class that's the superclass for vertex based shapes. it's giving "parent energy", it's the blueprint all the vertex-y shapes look up to 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/VRMLnodes/SoVRMLVertexShape.h>

Inherits SoVRMLGeometry.

Inherited by SoVRMLIndexedShape.

✨ Public Types ✨

this lil enum right here, Binding, is lowkey just repping the material binding element constants fr fr:

enum Binding {
    OVERALL = SoMaterialBindingElement::OVERALL,
    PER_PART = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_PART,
    PER_PART_INDEXED = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_PART_INDEXED,
    PER_FACE = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_FACE,
    PER_FACE_INDEXED = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_FACE_INDEXED,
    PER_VERTEX = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_VERTEX,
    PER_VERTEX_INDEXED = SoMaterialBindingElement::PER_VERTEX_INDEXED
}

🎀 Public Types inherited from SoShape

SoShape came through with its own enum, TriangleShape, and honestly? iconic:

enum TriangleShape {
    TRIANGLE_STRIP, TRIANGLE_FAN, TRIANGLES, POLYGON,
    QUADS, QUAD_STRIP, POINTS, LINES, LINE_STRIP
}

🎀 Public Types inherited from SoNode

and SoNode brought NodeType to the party, a whole bouquet of hex values 💐:

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

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

okay so this one hands you back the type identification of any object that derives from SoBase. it's the whole reason run-time type checking and "downward" casting work at all, no cap.

Usage example, and yes bestie, copy it character for character:

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 like, if you're an application programmer and you wanna extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or whatever else — you MUST override this method in all your subclasses. it's giving mandatory. normally you do this as part of setting up the full type system for your extension classes, which is usually accomplished with the pre-defined macros you get 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. ✨

if you want more info on writing Coin extensions, go read the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups. 🫶

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet, and SoVRMLIndexedShape.

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

gives you back a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. and if there are literally no fields present? it returns NULL. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🌸

SbBool SoVRMLVertexShape::generateDefaultNormals (SoState * s, SoNormalBundle * nb) [virtual]

heads up bestie, this API member is considered internal to the library, since it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Subclasses should override this method to generate default normals using the SoNormalBundle class. return TRUE if normals were generated, FALSE otherwise. 💅

Default method returns FALSE.

this function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet.

Referenced by generateAndReadLockNormalCache().

SbBool SoVRMLVertexShape::generateDefaultNormals (SoState * s, SoNormalCache * nc) [virtual]

again: internal library business, not likely to be interesting to the application programmer. 🙈

Subclasses should override this method to generate default normals using the SoNormalCache class. this one is more effective than using SoNormalGenerator. return TRUE if normals were generated, FALSE otherwise.

Default method just returns FALSE.

also a Coin extension, and also not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet.

void SoVRMLVertexShape::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual]

this function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. main character energy fr fr. 👑

Reimplemented from SoNode.

References color, coord, SoNode::doAction(), normal, SoNode::SoNode(), and texCoord.

Referenced by SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet::generatePrimitives().

void SoVRMLVertexShape::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]

action method for the SoGLRenderAction. 🔥

this gets called during rendering traversals. nodes that influence the rendering state in any way, or that wanna throw geometry primitives at OpenGL, override this method.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet.

References color, coord, SoNode::GLRender(), normal, SoNode::SoNode(), and texCoord.

Referenced by SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet::GLRender().

void SoVRMLVertexShape::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction * action) [virtual]

action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

it calculates the bounding box and center coordinates for the node, and modifies the values of the action so it encompasses the bounding box for this node, and shifts the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node. 📦✨

nodes that influence how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

References SoNode::getBoundingBox().

void SoVRMLVertexShape::callback (SoCallbackAction * action) [virtual]

action method for SoCallbackAction.

it simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph. iykyk. 🦋

Reimplemented from SoShape.

References SoNode::callback().

void SoVRMLVertexShape::pick (SoPickAction * action) [virtual]

action method for SoPickAction.

does the common processing for SoPickAction action instances. that's the whole job, periodt.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

References SoNode::pick().

void SoVRMLVertexShape::notify (SoNotList * l) [virtual]

notifies all auditors for this instance whenever changes are made. 📣

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

SbBool SoVRMLVertexShape::shouldGLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [protected], [virtual]

yep, another one that's considered internal to the library and not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. shrug. 🤷

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

References SoShape::shouldGLRender().

Referenced by SoVRMLIndexedFaceSet::GLRender().

SoNormalCache * SoVRMLVertexShape::generateAndReadLockNormalCache (SoState *const state) [protected]

a convenience method that subclasses can use to return or create a normal cache. if the current cache isn't valid, it takes care of unrefing the old cache, plus pushing and popping the state, to create element dependencies when creating the new cache. 🎀

when you return from this method, the normal cache will be read locked, and the caller should call readUnlockNormalCache() once the normals in the cache are no longer needed.

void SoVRMLVertexShape::readLockNormalCache (void ) [protected]

read lock the normal cache. 🫶 this method should be called before fetching the normal cache (using getNormalCache()). when the cached normals are no longer needed, readUnlockNormalCache() must be called. don't forget, bestie, i'm begging.

it's also possible to use generateAndReadLockNormalCache() instead.
