🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

The SoLinePatternElement class defines the line stipple pattern.

Line stippling is used to mask out fragments of a line. yes bestie, it's literally the thing that decides which lil bits of your line get to exist and which ones get ghosted 👻✨

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

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

Destructor. she's protected, she's virtual, she's leaving the party with grace 💅

🧚 Member Function Documentation 🧚

SoType SoLinePatternElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. it's giving "tell me who you are" energy 🪪

int SoLinePatternElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

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

void * SoLinePatternElement::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.

ngl bestie this one is lowkey not for you, it's internal library business 🙈 but the info's here anyway because we keep every crumb.

void SoLinePatternElement::initClass (void ) [static]

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

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

Initializes element in state to default value.

Reimplemented from SoInt32Element.

Reimplemented in SoGLLinePatternElement. 🔁

void SoLinePatternElement::set (SoState *const state, SoNode *const node, const int32_t pattern, const int32_t factor = 1) [static]

Sets the given pattern in the state. drop it in and walk away 💃

void SoLinePatternElement::set (SoState *const state, const int32_t pattern, const int32_t factor = 1) [static]

Sets the given pattern in the state. same vibe, different signature — she's got two outfits 👗

int32_t SoLinePatternElement::get (SoState *const state) [static]

Returns line stipple pattern from state. 📤

int32_t SoLinePatternElement::getDefault () [static]

Returns default line stipple pattern. the factory setting, the original recipe 🍓

int32_t SoLinePatternElement::getScaleFactor (SoState *const state) [static]

Returns line stipple pattern scale factor from state. 📏

int32_t SoLinePatternElement::getDefaultScaleFactor () [static]

Returns default line stipple pattern scale factor. the default-y default 🎀
