SoProfileElement(3)

✨ NAME ✨

SoProfileElement — bestie, lowkey this class is yet to be documented 😭 (that's the actual official description, not me being lazy, I promise 🫶). It's a Coin class, manual section 3, so it lives in the programmer's-manual girlie aisle 💅.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/elements/SoProfileElement.h>

It inherits from SoAccumulatedElement, so it's picking up everything that class has going on 🧬✨

🎀 Public Types

• enum Profile { START_FIRST, START_NEW, ADD_TO_CURRENT } — the three vibes of profile, all listed exactly like that, no cap.

💖 Detailed Description 💖

Not me having to tell you this: the SoProfileElement class is yet to be documented. That's it. That's the whole description. 😭

FIXME: write doc. — the actual words in the source, bestie, I'm just the messenger 🫠

🧚 Member Enumeration Documentation 🧚

enum SoProfileElement::Profile

FIXME: write doc. (yes, again 💀)

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

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

It's the destructor. Does what a destructor does. Cleanup era. ✨

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

SoType SoProfileElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

int SoProfileElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. Slay, now you know where it sits in the stack 💅

void * SoProfileElement::createInstance (void ) [static]

Okay so this API member is considered internal to the library, because it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. Periodt — not for you, bestie, it's a library-internals thing 🙈

It creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object. 🐣

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

This function initializes the element type in the given SoState. It is called for the first element of each enabled element type in SoState objects. 🎬

Reimplemented from SoAccumulatedElement.

void SoProfileElement::push (SoState * state) [virtual]

This method is called every single time a new element is required in one of the stacks. That happens when a writable element is requested, using SoState::getElement() or indirectly SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth. 📚

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The push() method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using SoElement::getNextInStack(). 👀

Reimplemented from SoAccumulatedElement.

void SoProfileElement::add (SoState *const state, SoProfile *const profile) [static]

Adds profile to the list of profiles. Adding to the list = self care, honestly 🌸

const SoNodeList & SoProfileElement::get (SoState *const state) [static]

Returns the current list of profiles. Get you a list of profiles that can do both 💅
