SoGLNormalElement(3)

💖 SoGLNormalElement 💖

okay bestie so you found SoGLNormalElement(3) in the Library Functions Manual and I am SO ready to walk you through it. grab a strawberry drink, this one's short and honestly kind of a mystery 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

SoGLNormalElement — the SoGLNormalElement</p> class is, and I quote, yet to be documented. yes really. the docs said "we'll get to it" and then never did 😭 iconic behavior tbh.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, the include. copy it exactly, no typos, she's fragile:

#include <Inventor/elements/SoGLNormalElement.h>

and the ancestry tea: she Inherits SoNormalElement. that's the whole bloodline. 💅

🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

The SoGLNormalElement class is yet to be documented.

FIXME: write doc.

that's it. that's the whole detailed description. she's a work in progress and honestly? same, girl. 😭💀

---

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

SoGLNormalElement::~SoGLNormalElement (void ) [protected], [virtual]

The destructor. that's the entire note. short, sweet, no notes. 🫶

---

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

void * SoGLNormalElement::createInstance (void ) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. so like... bestie, if you're an app dev, this one isn't for you, no cap. 🙈

void SoGLNormalElement::initClass (void ) [static]

This static method initializes static data for the SoGLNormalElement class. slay, she sets up her own static data. self-sufficient queen. ✨

void SoGLNormalElement::init (SoState * state) [virtual]

FIXME: write doc.

Reimplemented from SoNormalElement. (so if you're tracing the family tree, this one overrides the parent's version 💅)

🎀 Author 🎀

Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code. so like, a robot wrote this, not a person, which honestly explains a LOT about those FIXMEs. 🤖

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this came from Coin, Version 3.1.3, and the manpage itself is SoGLNormalElement(3). go forth and normal-element responsibly 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅🫶🔥👑🌈⭐
