🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

The SoDrawStyle class specificies common rendering properties for shapes. (again. keeping the typo. it's canon now. no cap.)

Use SoDrawStyle nodes to influence how shape nodes following them in the scenegraph will be rendered. This node type have fields to help decide how certain aspects of point-based shapes, line-based shapes and filled shape primitives are rendered. ✨

Simple scenegraph structure usage example — literally the cutest way to explain it:

#Inventor V2.1 ascii

Separator {
   Sphere { }
   Translation { translation 4 0 0 }
   DrawStyle { style LINES  lineWidth 2 }
   Sphere { }
   Translation { translation 4 0 0 }
   DrawStyle { style POINTS  pointSize 2 }
   Sphere { }
}

notice how each DrawStyle only affects what comes after it in the tree, bestie. it's giving "rules for the people behind me" main character energy 💅

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

DrawStyle {
    style FILLED
    pointSize 0
    lineWidth 0
    linePattern 0xffff
}

💀 Member Enumeration Documentation 💀

`enum SoDrawStyle::Style`

Enumeration for the various ways to render geometry. pick your fighter:

Enumerator

FILLED — Render all geometry as-is. the no-notes, unbothered default 🫶
LINES — Render all geometry as border lines.
POINTS — Render all geometry as vertex points.
INVISIBLE — Don't render geometry. not me ghosting the entire scene 💀

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

`SoDrawStyle::SoDrawStyle (void )`

Constructor. it's here, it's ready, it's serving.

`SoDrawStyle::~SoDrawStyle () [protected], [virtual]`

Destructor. protected and virtual, as it should be. slay.

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

okay bestie, we're deep in the function docs now. strap in, because this is where the type system and action magic live. no cap. ✨

✨ `SoType SoDrawStyle::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]` ✨

This one returns the type identification of an object derived from a class that inherits SoBase. It's giving run-time type checking and "downward" casting energy, periodt.

Usage example, bestie:

void foo(SoNode * node)
{
  if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
    SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
  }
}

For application programmers who wanna 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 info on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Implements SoBase.

🦋 `const SoFieldData * SoDrawStyle::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]` 🦋

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, it returns NULL. lowkey straightforward, ngl.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

💫 `void SoDrawStyle::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual]` 💫

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

Reimplemented from SoNode.

🎀 `void SoDrawStyle::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, overrides this method. slay.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

🌸 `void SoDrawStyle::callback (SoCallbackAction * action) [virtual]` 🌸

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

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. iconic.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

🌈 Member Data Documentation 🌈

👑 `SoSFEnum SoDrawStyle::style` 👑

How to render the geometry following a drawstyle node in the scene graph. Default is SoDrawStyle::FILLED. the vibe check for your geometry, honestly.

💜 `SoSFFloat SoDrawStyle::pointSize` 💜

Size in screen pixels of SoPointSet points, and also of geometry vertex points if setting the SoDrawStyle::style to SoDrawStyle::POINTS.

The valid range of pointsize settings varies according to which OpenGL implementation is used. For the purpose of not trying to set illegal values, the application programmer should at run-time check the valid range. How this can be accomplished is described in the class documentation of SoGLPointSizeElement.

Default value is 0.0f, which is a "tag" value which tells the rendering library to use the default setting. no cap.

🌊 `SoSFFloat SoDrawStyle::lineWidth` 🌊

Width in screen pixels of SoLineSet and SoIndexedLineSet lines, and also of geometry border lines if setting the SoDrawStyle::style to SoDrawStyle::LINES.

The valid range of linewidth settings varies according to which OpenGL implementation is used. For the purpose of not trying to set illegal values, the application programmer should at run-time check the valid range. How this can be accomplished is described in the class documentation of SoGLLineWidthElement.

Default value is 0.0f, which is a "tag" value which tells the rendering library to use the default setting. obsessed.

⭐ `SoSFUShort SoDrawStyle::linePattern` ⭐

Pattern as a bitmask used when drawing lines. Default is 0xffff (no "holes"). fr fr.
