SoNormalBindingElement(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SoNormalBindingElement — bestie, the SoNormalBindingElement is yet to be documented. That's it. That's the whole name section. We love a mysterious queen 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Okay so first things first, you gotta pull in the header, no cap:

#include <Inventor/elements/SoNormalBindingElement.h>

And plot twist: it Inherits SoInt32Element. So all that int32 energy is inherited, periodt.

🎀 Public Types 🎀

Behold, the enum, copy it exactly bestie, every value matters:

enum Binding { OVERALL = 2, PER_PART, PER_PART_INDEXED, PER_FACE,
    PER_FACE_INDEXED, PER_VERTEX, PER_VERTEX_INDEXED, DEFAULT =
    PER_VERTEX_INDEXED, NONE = OVERALL }

💖 Public Member Functions 💖

• virtual void init (SoState *state) — the one and only member function it brings to the table itself.

Yeah bestie, those four are literally just sitting there with FIXME: write doc. on them. Not me exposing the docs team 😭

🫶 Detailed Description 🫶

The SoNormalBindingElement is yet to be documented.

FIXME: write doc.

The way this whole class is giving "we'll finish it later" and later never came 💀 iconic honestly.

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

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

Destructor. Say bye to her gently, she's protected so only the inner circle gets to call her 🎀

⭐ Member Function Documentation ⭐

SoType SoNormalBindingElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

int SoNormalBindingElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

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

void * SoNormalBindingElement::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.

iykyk, if you're a regular app dev this one is not for you bestie, it's internal business 💅

void SoNormalBindingElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system.

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

Initializes the element to its default value. The default value for normalBinding is SoNormalBindingElement::DEFAULT.

Reimplemented from SoInt32Element.
