SoSFDouble(3)

💅 SoSFDouble — the NAME section, bestie

okay so. This page is SoSFDouble(3), and it lives in the Coin manual. Say hi to SoSFDouble — she's a container for a double precision floating point value. That's it. That's her whole job. And she eats at it. 👑

🌟 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌟

So the tea is: the SoSFDouble class is a container for a double precision floating point value.

This field is where nodes, engines or other field containers go when they need to store a single floating point value. One value. That's the vibe. Not a list, not an array — one. ✨

💖 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💖

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

ngl this one is internal to the library — it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer, so don't stress about it.

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

SoType SoSFDouble::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

A static method that hands you back the SoType object associated with objects of this class. 🎀

SoType SoSFDouble::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 SoSFDouble::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

Copies the value(s) from f into this field. Heads up though: f must be of the same type as this field. No mixing, bestie. 🚫

Implements SoField.

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

Checks for equal type and equal value(s). Both. Periodt.

Implements SoField.

void SoSFDouble::initClass (void ) [static]

An internal method, called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system. Behind-the-scenes queen. 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 it was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and it's filed under SoSFDouble(3). slay, go forth and store exactly one double 💅✨
