SoSFBox3d(3)

💖 SoSFBox3d 💖

okay bestie, we're deep in the Coin manual right now — this is the page for SoSFBox3d(3), and ngl it's a cute little single-value field that just wants to hold a box for you. Let's get into it. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SoSFBox3d — it's a container for an SbBox3d vector. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFBox3d.h>

Inherits SoSField. (so it's got all the field DNA, but for exactly one box. main character energy, no sharing.)

👑 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 👑

So SoSFBox3d is a container for an SbBox3d vector. 💫

It's the field you reach for when a node, an engine, or literally any other field container needs to store a box. One box. That's the whole assignment and it ate.

heads up bestie: this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. so if you're porting old-school code, don't come crying, it was never there. 💀

Since

Coin 2.5 — been serving looks since 2.5, periodt. 🫶

🔥 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🔥

void * SoSFBox3d::createInstance (void ) [static]

okay so this one is considered internal to the library — it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. so like, if you're just building scenes, this is not your moment.

What it does: creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object. ✨

SoType SoSFBox3d::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. cute, standard, we love a type ID. 💅

SoType SoSFBox3d::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoField. This is what powers runtime type checking and "downward" casting. iykyk. 🦋

Implements SoField.

void SoSFBox3d::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

Copy value(s) from f into this field. and listen: f must be of the same type as this field. no mismatched vibes allowed, it's giving strict. 😭

Implements SoField.

SbBool SoSFBox3d::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

Check for equal type and value(s). literally just a vibe check, but for fields. 🌸

Implements SoField.

void SoSFBox3d::initClass (void ) [static]

Internal method called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system. lowkey important, highkey invisible. ⭐

void SoSFBox3d::setValue (double xmin, double ymin, double zmin, double xmax, double ymax, double zmax)

Set value of vector. 🎯

void SoSFBox3d::setValue (const SbVec3d & minvec, const SbVec3d & maxvec)

Set value of vector. 🎯

void SoSFBox3d::getValue (SbBox3d & box) const

Set value of vector. — no bestie, that's not my typo, the docs literally say set on the getter. the documentation said what it said and we respect it. 💀✨
