engines(3)

💖 engines — the engine classes, bestie 💖

okay so this is the engines(3) page from the Coin Library Functions Manual, and it's basically the whole ✨engine roster✨ — every single class in the engine fam, what it does, and why you should care. no cap, it's a lot of them, but we're getting through ALL of them. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

🎀 Classes 🎀

• class SoBoolOperation — the engine that evaluates expressions of boolean logic. yes, true/false girlies, this one's for you 💅
• class SoCalculator — a general purpose calculator for floats and 3D float vectors. math but make it ✨main character✨
• class SoComposeMatrix — used to compose a matrix from miscellaneous transformations. little bits of transform going in, one matrix coming out 🦋
• class SoComposeRotation — used to compose rotations from angle and axis. angle + axis = rotation, iconic
• class SoComposeRotationFromTo — used to compose rotations based on from and to vectors. from ➡️ to, literally
• class SoComposeVec2f — used to compose 2D vectors from two floats. two floats walk into a bar, out comes a vec2f 😭
• class SoComposeVec3f — used to compose 3D vectors from floats. same vibe, third dimension 💜
• class SoComposeVec4f — used to compose 4D vectors from four floats. four floats, one vec4f, periodt
• class SoComputeBoundingBox — used to calculate a bounding box. it's giving "where even IS everything" 📦
• class SoConcatenate — used to concatenate several inputs into one output. many in, one out, the way that it glues 🫶
• class SoCounter — an integer counter engine. counts. that's the whole job 🔢
• class SoDecomposeMatrix — used to decompose a matrix into simple transformations. reverse uno on SoComposeMatrix 🌈
• class SoDecomposeRotation — used to decompose a rotation into angle and axis. giving you the receipts of that rotation 🧾
• class SoDecomposeVec2f — used to decompose 2D vectors into two floats. vec2f in, two floats out ✨
• class SoDecomposeVec3f — used to decompose 3D vectors into three floats. three floats, no notes
• class SoDecomposeVec4f — used to decompose 4D vectors into four floats. four floats, slay
• class SoElapsedTime — a controllable time source engine. time but you're driving 🕰️
• class SoEngine — the base class for Coin engines. the mother of them all 👑
• class SoEngineOutput — the output slots in SoEngine instances. where the results live 🏠
• class SoFieldConverter — the abstract base class for field converters. abstract = can't instantiate her, she's a concept 💅
• class SoGate — used to selectively copy values from input to output. gatekeeping, but literally and on purpose 🚪
• class SoInterpolate — the base class for all interpolator engines. the interpolator parent 🫶
• class SoInterpolateFloat — used to interpolate two floating point values. in-between floats, obsessed
• class SoInterpolateRotation — used to interpolate between two rotations. smooth spinny vibes 🔥
• class SoInterpolateVec2f — used to interpolate between pairs of 2D vectors. vec2f pairs getting blended ✨
• class SoInterpolateVec3f — used to interpolate between pairs of 3D vectors. three dimensions of in-between 💜
• class SoInterpolateVec4f — used to interpolate between pairs of 4D vectors. four dimensions of in-between, no cap
• class SoOnOff — a simple on/off switch. on. off. on. off. we love a binary icon 🎚️
• class SoOneShot — a timer that runs for a configurable time and then stops. one and done, she said what she said ⏱️
• class SoSelectOne — used to select one value from a set of values. picking one, choosing violence gently 🙈
• class SoTimeCounter — an integer counter engine. yes, another one. counting is a lifestyle 🔢
• class SoTransformVec3f — transforms 3D vectors by a matrix. vec3f goes in, matrix does its thing, vec3f comes out 🦋
• class SoTriggerAny — a fan-in engine for triggers. any trigger hits, she reacts 💥
• class SoNodeEngine — the base class for Coin node engines. node engines' mama 👑
• class SoEngineList — a container for SoEngine objects. a lil basket of engines 🧺
• class SoEngineOutputList — a container for SoEngineOutput objects. same energy, but for outputs 🧺

okay bestie that's the whole engines(3) page — every single class accounted for, none skipped, fr fr. this one came from the Coin library docs, Version 2.5.0. go build something cute with an engine in it 🎀✨💖
