okay bestie, gather round, because this is the SoMFEnum manual page from the Coin docs (section 3, library calls, iykyk) and it is genuinely so useful once you clock what it does 🫶

🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

The SoMFEnum class is a container for a set of enumerated values. fr fr, that's its whole job.

This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers need to store values constrained to be from an enumerated set. so like… a little dropdown menu of legal options, but for a field ✨

A field of this type stores its values to file as the symbolic names, rather than the actual integer values. so what you read in the file is the cute name, not the raw int. iconic behaviour honestly.

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

🎀 void * SoMFEnum::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 your business bestie, look away 🙈)

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

🌸 SoType SoMFEnum::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

⭐ SoType SoMFEnum::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoField. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoMFBitMask.

🦋 void SoMFEnum::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field. like, don't be weird about it.

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoMFBitMask.

💜 SbBool SoMFEnum::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

Check for equal type and value(s).

Implements SoField.

Reimplemented in SoMFBitMask.

🍓 void SoMFEnum::deleteAllValues (void ) [protected], [virtual]

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

Implements SoMField.

🧚 void SoMFEnum::copyValue (int to, int from) [protected], [virtual]

This method is used for moving values around internally within a multivalue field. It needs to be overridden in each field so it automatically takes care of running copy constructors where necessary.

Implements SoMField.

✨ const int * SoMFEnum::getValues (const int start) const [inline]

Returns a pointer to the values array.

👑 void SoMFEnum::initClass (void ) [static]

Internal method called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system.

🎀 void SoMFEnum::setValue (const SbName name)

Set this field to contain a single value by specifying an enumeration string.

🌈 void SoMFEnum::set1Value (const int idx, const SbName name)

Set the value at idx to the enumeration value represented by name.

🔥 void SoMFEnum::setEnums (const int numarg, const int *const vals, const SbName *const names)

Makes a set of num enumeration names map to vals.

💖 int SoMFEnum::getNumEnums (void ) const

Returns the number of enum names the SoSFEnum object understands.

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

Since

Coin 2.0

🌟 int SoMFEnum::getEnum (const int idx, SbName & name) const

Returns the value of the Nth enum this SoSFEnum object understands, and mutates name to contain the Nth enum's name.

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

Since

Coin 2.0

💅 SbBool SoMFEnum::findEnumValue (const SbName & name, int & val) [protected], [virtual]

Return in val the enumeration value which matches the given enumeration name.

Returns TRUE if name is a valid enumeration string, otherwise FALSE.

🫶 SbBool SoMFEnum::findEnumName (int value, const SbName *& name) const [protected], [virtual]

Set the enumeration name which matches the given enumeration value.

Returns TRUE if value is a valid enumeration value, otherwise FALSE.

🎀 Member Data Documentation 🎀

💜 SbBool SoMFEnum::legalValuesSet [protected]

Is TRUE if a set of enum name-to-value mappings has been set.

🌸 int SoMFEnum::numEnums [protected]

Number of enumeration mappings.

⭐ int* SoMFEnum::enumValues [protected]

Array of enumeration values. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumNames. bestie behaviour: they're a matched set 🫶

🦋 SbName* SoMFEnum::enumNames [protected]

Array of enumeration names. Maps 1-to-1 with the enumValues.
