💖 SoProfile(3) — Coin 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for SoProfile(3) from Coin, and it's giving abstract superclass energy for profile definitions. No cap, we're keeping every single inherited member, every enum value, every signature. Buckle up. 🎀

🎀 NAME 🎀

SoProfile — the abstract superclass for profile definitions. It's the blueprint-y main character that other profile nodes inherit from. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Inventor/nodes/SoProfile.h>

Inherits SoNode.

Inherited by SoLinearProfile, and SoNurbsProfile.

🌸 Public Types 🌸

  • enum Profile { START_FIRST = SoProfileElement::START_FIRST, START_NEW = SoProfileElement::START_NEW, ADD_TO_CURRENT = SoProfileElement::ADD_TO_CURRENT } — the profile-linking enum, bestie. More deets down in the enum section.

📖 Detailed Description 📖

The SoProfile class is the abstract superclass for profile definitions. It's the blueprint bestie, okay?

Node subclasses of SoProfile specify profiles for extruded 3D text and NURBS surface data. That's the whole vibe.

🔥 Member Enumeration Documentation 🔥

enum SoProfile::Profile

Enumeration of various choices of how to link together multiple profiles. It's giving "pick your linkage strategy" energy.

Enumerator

  • START_FIRST — Replace the current profile state set with this profile alone.
  • START_NEW — Append this profile to the state as a new profile.
  • ADD_TO_CURRENT — Append indices of this node to the last profile.

🎬 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎬

SoProfile::SoProfile (void ) [protected]

Constructor. Protected, so it's not for everyone — main character access only.

SoProfile::~SoProfile () [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. Virtual, protected, iconic.

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

SoType SoProfile::getClassTypeId (void ) [static] ✨

Okay bestie, this static method hands you back the SoType object that's associated with objects of this class. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

SoType SoProfile::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual] 🔍

This one gives you the type identification of an object derived from a class that inherits SoBase. What's it for? Runtime type checking and "downward" casting, babes. It's giving who am I really energy.

  • Implements SoBase.
  • Reimplemented in SoLinearProfile, and SoNurbsProfile.

const SoFieldData ** SoProfile::getFieldDataPtr (void ) [static], [protected] 🙈

Heads up: this API member is considered internal to the library, so it's probably not gonna be interesting to you as an application programmer. It's lowkey a backstage pass, not front row.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

const SoFieldData * SoProfile::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual] 📋

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. And if there are no fields present? It returns NULL. No fields, no problem, no pointer. 💅

  • Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.
  • Reimplemented in SoLinearProfile, and SoNurbsProfile.

void SoProfile::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual] 🎬

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. Any action, bestie. It's the main character of node behavior.

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoProfile::callback (SoCallbackAction * action) [virtual] 📞

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Basically it just updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so that you, the application programmer, can use the SoCallbackAction to extract information about the scene graph. It's giving let me tell you what's going on in here. 🦋

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoProfile::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual] 🌈

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This gets called during rendering traversals. Any node that influences the rendering state in any way, or wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL, overrides this method. Slay, throw those primitives. 🔥

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoProfile::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction * action) [virtual] 📦

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

It calculates the bounding box and center coordinates for the node, and modifies the values of the action so the action encompasses the bounding box for this node, and shifts the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node. Very "this is my space, respectfully" energy.

Nodes that influence how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoProfile::pick (SoPickAction * action) [virtual] 🎯

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does the common processing for SoPickAction action instances. Just the usual, no cap.

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoProfile::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action) [virtual] 🔢

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

It calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node, and adds these to the counters of the action. Math girlies rise up. ✨

Nodes that influence how geometry nodes calculate their primitive count also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

  • Reimplemented from SoNode.

virtual void SoProfile::getTrimCurve (SoState * state, int32_t & numpoints, float *& points, int & floatspervec, int32_t & numknots, float *& knotvector) [pure virtual] 🎀

Return points and knotvector of the state. Short and sweet, fr fr.

  • Implemented in SoLinearProfile, and SoNurbsProfile.

virtual void SoProfile::getVertices (SoState * state, int32_t & numvertices, SbVec2f *& vertices) [pure virtual] 🧚

Return vertex set of state. That's the whole thing, bestie.

  • Implemented in SoLinearProfile, and SoNurbsProfile.

🌸 Member Data Documentation 🌸

SoMFInt32 SoProfile::index 👑

Profile coordinate indices.

These must match what is available from previous SoProfileCoordinate2 and SoProfileCoordinate3 nodes in the traversal. No mismatches allowed, it's giving the audacity if they don't match. 😭

SoSFEnum SoProfile::linkage 🔗

How the indices of this profile node should be combined with the current profile index set of the traversal state.

Default value is SoProfile::START_FIRST. Periodt. 💅

That's a wrap on SoProfile(3)! This was version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00. Go forth and profile your little heart out, bestie — you understood the whole thing, iconic behavior, no notes. 👑✨
