ScXMLEltReader(3)

💖 ScXMLEltReader — a Coin manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're reading a Coin manual page together and honestly? it's giving foundational. this one's called ScXMLEltReader and it lives in the Coin library, section 3 of the manual (that's the "library functions" section, iykyk 🫶).

✨ NAME ✨

ScXMLEltReader — the base class for element reader objects. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a base class and she's iconic for it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

first things first, you gotta bring her in:

#include <Inventor/scxml/ScXMLElt.h>

👑 Public Member Functions

• ScXMLEltReader (const char *eltname) — the constructor, she takes an element name.
• virtual ScXMLElt * read (ScXMLElt *container, cc_xml_elt *elt, ScXMLDocument *doc, ScXMLStateMachine *sm)=0 — the pure virtual one. notice the =0, bestie? that means it's abstract, so you literally cannot just instantiate this class and vibe. you have to make your own subclass and implement this. main character energy requires follow-through ✨

🎀 Protected Member Functions

• void setXMLAttributes (ScXMLElt *scxmlelt, cc_xml_elt *xmlelt) — a little helper for the subclasses, protected so it stays in the family 🫶

🦋 Protected Attributes

• const char * element — the element name, chillin' in a protected attribute.

💜 Detailed Description 💜

so, what is she? ScXMLEltReader is the base class for element reader objects. that's the whole vibe. she's the template, the blueprint, the mother of all element readers. you don't use her directly — you inherit from her, implement read(), and let her hold the shared structure. it's giving "we're all just standing on the shoulders of a very abstract queen." 😭👑

⭐ Since

Coin 3.1 — she's been here since 3.1 and she's never once been messy about it.
