SoSFEnum(3)

📦 version 3.1.3, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 SoSFEnum — from the Library Functions Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the page for SoSFEnum, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like: a lil container holding one enum value. It lives in the Library Functions Manual, it's a Coin thing, and it's lowkey one of the most useful little gremlins in the whole field family. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SoSFEnum — the class is a container for an enum value. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFEnum.h>

Inherits SoSField.

Inherited by SoSFBitMask. (yes bestie, it has a whole legacy. main character energy.)

👑 Detailed Description 👑

The SoSFEnum class is a container for an enum value. 🎀

This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers needs to store one particular value out of an enumerated set. like, you've got options, bestie, but you only get to pick ONE. it's giving "choose your fighter". ✨

A field of this type stores its value to file as the symbolic name, rather than the actual integer value. so it writes SIDES and not 1, and honestly? iconic. the file stays readable, we love to see it. 💅

SoSFEnum instances are initialized on an instance basis, usually in the constructor of the fieldcontainer with the macros SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(enumtype, symbolvalue) and SO_NODE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE(enumfield, enumtype) for nodes, or for engines; SO_ENGINE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE() and SO_ENGINE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE(). 🫶

Example initialization from the constructor of the SoCone class:

SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, SIDES);
SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, BOTTOM);
SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(Part, ALL);
SO_NODE_SET_SF_ENUM_TYPE(parts, Part);

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

SoType SoSFEnum::getTypeId (void ) const — [virtual]

Returns the type identification instance which uniquely identifies the Coin field class the object belongs to. 🦋

See also: getClassTypeId(), SoType

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

void SoSFEnum::copyFrom (const SoField & f) — [virtual]

Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field. no mixing, no matching, it's a vibe check and f has to pass it. 💅

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

SbBool SoSFEnum::isSame (const SoField & f) const — [virtual]

Check for equal type and value(s). returns whether the two are literally the same, bestie. 😌

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoSFBitMask.

void SoSFEnum::setValue (const SbName name)

Set the value of this field by specifying an enumeration string value. you give it the name, not the number. cute, right? 🎀

void SoSFEnum::setEnums (const int num, const int * vals, const SbName * names)

Makes a set of num enumeration names map to integer values, given by vals. this is you hand-building the whole mapping table. do it once, live your life. ✨

int SoSFEnum::getNumEnums (void ) const

Returns the number of enum names the SoSFEnum object understands. like, how many options are even on the menu. 🍓

Note that this API method is not part of the original SGI Inventor 2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

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

Since: Coin 2.0

int SoSFEnum::getEnum (const int idx, SbName & name) const

Returns the value of the Nth enum this SoSFEnum object understands, and mutates name to contain the Nth enum's name. two-for-one, she's generous. 👑

Note that this API method is not part of the original SGI Inventor 2.1 API, and is an extension specific to Coin.

SbBool SoSFEnum::findEnumValue (const SbName & name, int & val) — [protected], [virtual]

Return in val the enumeration value which matches the given enumeration name.

Returns TRUE if name is a valid enumeration string, otherwise FALSE. 🧚

SbBool SoSFEnum::findEnumName (int valuearg, const SbName *& name) const — [protected], [virtual]

Set the enumeration name which matches the given enumeration value.

Returns TRUE if value is a valid enumeration value, otherwise FALSE. 🌈

💀 Member Data Documentation 💀

int SoSFEnum::numEnums — [protected]

Number of enumeration mappings.

int* SoSFEnum::enumValues — [protected]

Array of enumeration values. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumNames. they're a package deal, no cap. 🫶

SbName* SoSFEnum::enumNames — [protected]

Array of enumeration names. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumValues. ✨

SbBool SoSFEnum::legalValuesSet — [protected]

Is TRUE if a set of enum name-to-value mappings has been set. otherwise it's just sitting there with no opinions. 🙈
