SoNodeList(3)

👑 NAME 👑

SoNodeList — bestie, it's a container for pointers to SoNode objects. That's the whole vibe. A little list that holds your node pointers and keeps track of them for you. ✨

This page is SoNodeList(3) from the Coin manual, section 3, and it's giving extremely useful utility class energy. 🎀

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Okay so the SoNodeList class is a container for pointers to SoNode objects. That's it, that's the job. 💖

And because this class inherits SoBaseList, referencing and dereferencing will default be done on the objects at append(), remove(), insert() etc. So it's not just holding raw pointers and vibing — it's actually doing the reference-count bookkeeping for you. Iconic behavior, honestly. 👑

💀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💀

🌈 SoNodeList::SoNodeList (void )

Default constructor. No arguments, no drama, just a fresh empty list ready to be filled. 🎀

🌈 SoNodeList::SoNodeList (const int size)

Constructor with a hint about the number of elements the list will hold.

See also: SoBaseList::SoBaseList(const int)

🌈 SoNodeList::SoNodeList (const SoNodeList & nl)

Copy constructor. Makes a copy, obviously, bestie. 💅

See also: SoBaseList::SoBaseList(const SoBaseList &)

🌈 SoNodeList::~SoNodeList ()

Destructor. It's the end, it cleans up after itself, we love a class that tidies. ✨

See also: SoBaseList::~SoBaseList()

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

⭐ void SoNodeList::append (SoNode *const ptr)

Append ptr to the list. Just yeets it right on the end. 🫶

See also: SoBaseList::append()

⭐ SoNode * SoNodeList::operator[] (const int i) const

Return node pointer at index i. Give it a number, get a node. Simple as. 💜

See also: SoBaseList::operator[]()

⭐ SoNodeList & SoNodeList::operator= (const SoNodeList & nl)

Copy contents of list nl to this list.

See also: SoBaseList::operator=()
