✨ Detailed Description ✨

SoInterpolateVec4f</p> is the class used to interpolate between pairs of 4D vectors. That's the whole vibe, no notes 💖

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

virtual SoType SoInterpolateVec4f::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Gives you the type identification of an object derived from a class that inherits SoBase. This is the whole reason run-time type checking and "downward" casting are even possible, bestie. It's giving identity.

Usage example:

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

Okay so for all you application programmers out there who want to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or whatever else: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. Not some. All. This is 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 (that's SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

Want more on writing Coin extensions? Go read the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups. It's all there, iykyk 📚

Reimplemented from SoInterpolate.

virtual const SoFieldData * SoInterpolateVec4f::getFieldData (void ) const [virtual]

Hands you back a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. And if there are no fields present? It returns NULL. C'est tout 💅

Reimplemented from SoInterpolate.

virtual const SoEngineOutputData * SoInterpolateVec4f::getOutputData (void ) const [virtual]

Okay so this one — this API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. So like, not for you, bestie, it's for the library's own business 🙈
