✨ NAME ✨

SoIndexedPointSet — okay so this is a page straight outta the Coin manual, section 3 💖 and the whole entire job of this class is to display a set of 3D points. That's it. That's the assignment. She's serving point-cloud realness and she's not even sorry about it. 🎀

📖 Detailed Description

Okay bestie, here's the whole vibe: the SoIndexedPointSet class is used to display a set of 3D points. That's the mission. That's the whole mission. ✨

This node either uses the coordinates currently on the state (typically set up by a leading SoCoordinate3 node in the scene graph) or from a SoVertexProperty node attached to this node to render a set of 3D points.

Here's a simple usage example of SoIndexedPointSet in a scene graph:

#Inventor V2.1 ascii

Separator {
   Material {
      diffuseColor [
       1 0 0, 0 1 0, 0 0 1, 1 1 0, 1 0 1, 1 1 1, 1 0.8 0.6, 0.6 0.8 1
      ]
   }
   MaterialBinding { value PER_VERTEX_INDEXED }

   Normal {
      vector [
       0 0 1, 1 0 0
      ]
   }
   NormalBinding { value PER_VERTEX_INDEXED }

   Coordinate3 {
      point [
       -1 1 0, -1 -1 0, 1 -1 0, 1 1 0, 0 2 -1, -2 0 -1, 0 -2 -1, 2 0 -1
      ]
   }

   DrawStyle { pointSize 5 }

   IndexedPointSet {
      coordIndex [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
      normalIndex [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1]
   }
}

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

IndexedPointSet {
  vertexProperty        NULL
  coordIndex        0
  materialIndex        -1
  normalIndex        -1
  textureCoordIndex        -1
}

✨ Member Function Documentation ✨

okay bestie, deep breath, because this is the part where we actually meet the methods 💖 every single one, no skipping, no "lol tl;dr" — we're doing this properly, together 🫶

SoType SoIndexedPointSet::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

It's a static method, and what it does is hand you back the SoType object that's associated with objects of this class. That's it. That's the whole vibe ✨

SoType SoIndexedPointSet::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

This one gives you back the type identification for an object derived from a class that inherits SoBase. What's it for? Runtime type checking, and "downward" casting. iykyk 💅

It's reimplemented from SoIndexedShape, and it's reimplemented in SoIndexedMarkerSet too — so the marker set girlies are out here doing their own version of it 👑

const SoFieldData ** SoIndexedPointSet::getFieldDataPtr (void ) [static], [protected]

ngl bestie, this API member is considered internal to the library, because it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. So if that's you, you can lowkey just keep scrolling 🙈

What it returns is the SoFieldData class, the one that holds information about the fields in this node.

const SoFieldData * SoIndexedPointSet::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. And if no fields are present? It returns NULL. That's the whole tea ☕

It's reimplemented from SoIndexedShape, and it's reimplemented in SoIndexedMarkerSet.

void SoIndexedPointSet::initClass (void ) [static]

That's literally it, bestie. No description given. The function is simply out here existing, doing its job, no notes 💀✨

void SoIndexedPointSet::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]

This is the action method for the SoGLRenderAction — it gets called during rendering traversals. Any node that influences the rendering state in any way, or that wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL, overrides this method. So it's basically main character energy for render time 🔥

It's reimplemented from SoShape, and it's reimplemented in SoIndexedMarkerSet.

void SoIndexedPointSet::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction. What it does is calculate the bounding box and the center coordinates for the node, then modify the values of the action so they encompass the bounding box for this node — and shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node 🎀

Also, heads up: nodes that influence how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box override this method too, so they can change the relevant state variables.

It's reimplemented from SoShape.

void SoIndexedPointSet::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction. It calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node, and adds those to the counters of the action. Counting era, fr fr 🔢

And same deal as before: nodes that influence how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

It's reimplemented from SoShape.

void SoIndexedPointSet::notify (SoNotList * l) [virtual]

When changes are made, this notifies all the auditors for this instance. Gossip network but make it C++ 💅

It's reimplemented from SoVertexShape.

void SoIndexedPointSet::generatePrimitives (SoAction * action) [protected], [virtual]

This method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It gets invoked from SoShape::callback().

And listen — subclasses should not override SoNode::callback(). Don't do it bestie, just don't 🚫

The subclass implementations use the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(), SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), along with SoDetail instances, to pass the primitives that make up the shape back to the caller. Very teamwork, very slay 🌸

It implements SoShape.

SbBool SoIndexedPointSet::generateDefaultNormals (SoState * state, SoNormalCache * cache) [protected], [virtual]

Okay so — this API member is considered internal to the library, since it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. So, again, not your problem unless you're deep in the guts 🙈

Subclasses should override this method to generate default normals using the SoNormalCache class. And that's actually more effective than using SoNormalGenerator. Return TRUE if normals were generated, FALSE otherwise. The default method just returns FALSE — it's giving "I did nothing and I'm at peace with that" 😌

Also important: this function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. So don't go looking for it in the ancient texts 📜

It's reimplemented from SoVertexShape.

SbBool SoIndexedPointSet::generateDefaultNormals (SoState * state, SoNormalBundle * bundle) [protected], [virtual]

Yes bestie, same name, different second argument — the overload said "and I took that personally" 💅

Same warning as above: this API member is considered internal to the library, not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Subclasses should override this method to generate default normals using the SoNormalBundle class. TRUE should be returned if normals were generated, FALSE otherwise. The default method returns FALSE.

And again: this function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

It's reimplemented from SoVertexShape.
