SoGlobalSimplifyAction(3)

🌸 SoGlobalSimplifyAction 🌸

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the SoGlobalSimplifyAction page from the Coin manual (section 3, library functions, iykyk). It's a whole action class and she is lowkey iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

She inherits from SoSimplifyAction. That's the whole vibe. Family tree stays winning. 🌈

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

💖 virtual SoType SoGlobalSimplifyAction::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoAction. Bestie, this is the ✨runtime type checking✨ plug — she's how you do the "downward" casting thing. Very main character.

Reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction. 🫶

🎀 void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::addMethod (const SoType type, SoActionMethod method) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

ngl this one is not for you, it's for the library's own business 🙈

🦋 void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::enableElement (const SoType type, const int stackindex) [static]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

same energy as above, internal only, you can scroll past 💀

⭐ virtual const SoEnabledElementsList & SoGlobalSimplifyAction::getEnabledElements (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns list of enabled elements. That's it, that's the whole job. ✨

Reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.

🌸 virtual void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::beginTraversal (SoNode * node) [protected], [virtual]

This virtual method is called from SoAction::apply(), and is the entry point for the actual scene graph traversal. Like, this is the door. Everything walks through here. 🚪✨

It can be overridden to initialize the action at traversal start, for specific initializations in the action subclasses inheriting SoAction.

Default method just calls traverse(), which any overridden implementation of the method must do too (or call SoAction::beginTraversal()) to trigger the scene graph traversal.

fr fr do not forget the traverse() call if you override this, or nothing happens and you will simply be sad 😭

okay that's the whole page, you ate, go simplify something globally 💖✨ this was Coin Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — no cap, that's the sign-off, bye bestie 🎀🦋
