SoGLDrawStyleElement(3)

👑 SoGLDrawStyleElement 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the Coin manual, section 3 (that's the (3) energy, you know the vibe), and today's main character is SoGLDrawStyleElement. she's an element. she updates the current draw style in OpenGL. she's lowkey iconic and highkey doing the most. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

SoGLDrawStyleElement — the element that updates the current draw style in OpenGL. that's the whole assignment and she ate it. periodt. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/elements/SoGLDrawStyleElement.h>

Inherits SoDrawStyleElement. yes, she comes from a whole lineage, the family tree is giving legacy code realness 🌳

💖 Detailed Description 💖

The SoGLDrawStyleElement updates the current draw style in OpenGL. that's it, that's the description, she said what she said 🫡

🌟 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🌟

💀 SoGLDrawStyleElement::~SoGLDrawStyleElement(void) [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. she's packing up and leaving the function, no drama, no notes. bye bestie 👋

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

🎀 SoType SoGLDrawStyleElement::getClassTypeId(void) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. it's the "who even are you" of the type system, and the answer is a SoType 🪪

🌸 int SoGLDrawStyleElement::getClassStackIndex(void) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. basically it tells you where in the stack she's parked ✨

💅 void * SoGLDrawStyleElement::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. (translation: not for you, bestie, this is library business 🙈)

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object. new instance just dropped 🎀

⭐ void SoGLDrawStyleElement::initClass(void) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. group project setup, but make it cute 🌈

💜 void SoGLDrawStyleElement::init(SoState * state) [virtual]

FIXME: write doc. (again, the official docs are just out here leaving us on read 😭)

Reimplemented from SoDrawStyleElement.

🦋 void SoGLDrawStyleElement::push(SoState * state) [virtual]

okay so this one actually has lore. This method is called every time a new element is required in one of the stacks. This happens when a writable element is requested, using SoState::getElement() or indirectly SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth.

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The push() method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using SoElement::getNextInStack().

Reimplemented from SoElement.

lowkey: if you're subclassing and you need the old top-of-stack data, this is your moment. don't skip it. 💅

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

This method is called when the state is popped, and the depth of the element is bigger than the current state depth. pop() is called on the new top of stack, and a pointer to the previous top of stack is passed in prevTopElement.

Override this method if you need to copy some state information from the previous top of stack.

Reimplemented from SoElement. she pops off, literally 🫶

✨ void SoGLDrawStyleElement::setElt(int32_t value) [protected], [virtual]

Set element value. short and sweet, she said it in four words and left. iconic 💅

Reimplemented from SoInt32Element.

okay that's the whole page bestie, you're welcome, go forth and update those draw styles responsibly. mwah 💋

this was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and it's page SoGLDrawStyleElement(3) of the Coin manual — no cap, that's the receipts, bookmark her 🌸💖🦋
