👑 Detailed Description 👑

The SoMFVec4b class is a container for SbVec4b vectors.

so basically: any time a node, an engine, or some other field container needs to hold an array of vectors with four elements, this is the field that does it. that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly, no cap. 🔥

This field supports application data sharing through a setValuesPointer() method. See SoMField documentation for information on how to use this function.

SbVec4b, SoSFVec4b — and heads up bestie, be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. 💀 so if you're porting old SGI code, don't come for her, she simply wasn't there yet.

Since

Coin 2.5

🧚 Member Function Documentation 🧚

void * SoMFVec4b::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.

SoType SoMFVec4b::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

SoType SoMFVec4b::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.

void SoMFVec4b::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field.

Implements SoField.

SbBool SoMFVec4b::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

Check for equal type and value(s).

Implements SoField.

void SoMFVec4b::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 SoMFVec4b::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 SbVec4b * SoMFVec4b::getValues (const int start) const [inline]

Returns a pointer to the values array.

void SoMFVec4b::initClass (void ) [static]

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

void SoMFVec4b::setValues (int start, int numarg, const int8_t xyzw[][4])

Set num vector array elements from xyzw, starting at index start.

void SoMFVec4b::set1Value (int idx, int8_t x, int8_t y, int8_t z, int8_t w)

Set the vector at idx.

void SoMFVec4b::set1Value (int idx, const int8_t xyzw[4])

Set the vector at idx.

void SoMFVec4b::setValue (int8_t x, int8_t y, int8_t z, int8_t w)

Set this field to contain a single vector with the given element values.

void SoMFVec4b::setValue (const int8_t xyzw[4])

Set this field to contain a single vector with the given element values.

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it 💅🌸

Version 4.0.10 — dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and yeah that's the SoMFVec4b(3) page, section 3 of the Coin manual, start to finish. go forth and hold those four-element vectors, you got this 💖🦋⭐
