SoGLDepthBufferElement(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SoGLDepthBufferElement — bestie, this is the element that controls the OpenGL depth buffer. That's the whole vibe. 💅

Oh and hey, quick thing: this page lives in the Coin manual, section 3, so like... SoGLDepthBufferElement(3) if you're being formal about it. 🎀

💅 Detailed Description 💅

The SoGLDepthBufferElement controls the OpenGL depth buffer. That's it, that's the job, and it does it gorgeously. 👑

Heads up bestie!! Be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. So if you go back to the old-school API expecting this, it's giving... nothing. 💀

🌈 Since

Coin 3.0 — she's been iconic since day one, no cap.

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

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

Destructor. She's logging off. 🦋 Protected, so it's a private goodbye, iykyk.

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

SoType SoGLDepthBufferElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. Your little class ID card, basically. 🪪✨

int SoGLDepthBufferElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. Where she sits in the stack, fr fr. 📚

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

ngl this one is internal — this API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object. Fresh new baby element, periodt. 🍼

void SoGLDepthBufferElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. Gotta set the whole squad up before the party starts. 🎉

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

Internal Coin method. 🤫

Reimplemented from SoDepthBufferElement.

void SoGLDepthBufferElement::push (SoState * state) [virtual]

Internal Coin method. 🤫

Reimplemented from SoDepthBufferElement.

void SoGLDepthBufferElement::pop (SoState * state, const SoElement * prevTopElement) [virtual]

Internal Coin method. 🤫

Reimplemented from SoDepthBufferElement.

void SoGLDepthBufferElement::setElt (SbBool test, SbBool write, DepthWriteFunction function, SbVec2f range) [protected], [virtual]

Set this element's values. That's the assignment bestie, go off. 💖

Reimplemented from SoDepthBufferElement.

Okay so that's the whole page, mwah! 💋 This was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and yes, the manual name at the top was SoGLDepthBufferElement(3) — Coin's very own section-3 royalty. Slay, bye! ✨🦋💖🎀💜🌈⭐
