SoGLNormalElement(3)

💅 SoGLNormalElement — straight from the Coin manual, section 3

hey bestie 🫶 so this is the manual page for SoGLNormalElement, and it comes to you from Coin, living in section 3 of the manual (that's the library-functions section, iykyk). Buckle up, because this page is honestly giving mystery. ✨

🔥 Detailed Description 🔥

The SoGLNormalElement class is yet to be documented.

FIXME: write doc.

bestie the docs are literally a todo list rn and honestly? same 😭 the vibes are immaculate but the prose is missing 💀

---

💀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💀

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

Destructor.

---

✨ Member Function Documentation ✨

SoType SoGLNormalElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

int SoGLNormalElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class.

void * SoGLNormalElement::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.

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

void SoGLNormalElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system.

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

FIXME: write doc.

Reimplemented from SoNormalElement.
