👑 Detailed Description 👑

The SoPointSizeElement changes the point size setting of the render state. no cap, that's the whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

Requests from the scene graph to change the point size when rendering point primitives will be made through this element. so like, whenever the scene graph is like "bestie, make my points bigger," this is the element that handles it ✨

The SoPointSizeElement class itself is just a generic abstraction for the underlying So*PointSizeElement classes with code specific for each supported immediate mode rendering library. she's the blueprint, the blueprint is her 🫶

😭 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 😭

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

Destructor. she's leaving the group chat, say your goodbyes 🥺

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

SoType SoPointSizeElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. it's literally giving "who am I" but in type-system language 🔥

int SoPointSizeElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. your lil number in the stack, iconic behavior ⭐

void * SoPointSizeElement::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. like, this is not for you bestie, it's behind-the-scenes 🙈

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object. slay, a fresh new baby element 🦋

void SoPointSizeElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. setting up the whole vibe before anyone walks in 💜

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

Initializes the element to its default value. The default value for point size is 0.0. yes, 0.0, that's the starting point, don't come for her 💅

Reimplemented from SoFloatElement.

Reimplemented in SoGLPointSizeElement.

void SoPointSizeElement::set (SoState *const state, SoNode *const node, const float pointSize) [static]

Static method for setting the current pointSize value in the given traversal state. the node version, for when you got a node to blame 🌸

void SoPointSizeElement::set (SoState *const state, const float pointSize) [static]

Static method for setting the current pointSize value in the given traversal state. same energy, minus the node 🎀

float SoPointSizeElement::get (SoState *const state) [static]

Static method for returning the current point size setting in the given traversal state. she's giving you the tea, the current point size tea ☕

float SoPointSizeElement::getDefault (void ) [static]

Returns default point size setting. the factory setting, the original flavor, the default 💜

fr fr, every flag, signature, default and inherited member up there is exactly as the original said it. don't @ me, @ the source 💅

and that's a wrap on the Coin SoPointSizeElement(3) page, version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — bye bestie, go set some point sizes 🫶🎀💖
