SoSFVec3d(3)

🎀 SoSFVec3d(3) — Coin's little vector holder 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the SoSFVec3d(3) page from the Coin manual 💜. This is the whole thing, every last detail, but like... explained by someone who actually loves you. Sit down, hydrate, let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoSFVec3d — The SoSFVec3d class is a container for an SbVec3d vector. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First things first, you gotta let the compiler know she exists:

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFVec3d.h>

Inherits SoSField. So she's got that family tree going on, and she's carrying a lot of inherited power, no cap.

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

The SoSFVec3d class is a container for an SbVec3d vector. (Yes, the NAME section said it too, and the Detailed Description is saying it again — she's consistent, she's committed, she's an icon.)

This field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers need to store a single vector with three elements. Just one. Not a list, not a whole array, one lil' triple. Single-field energy ✨

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

void * SoSFVec3d::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. So like... it's giving "backstage pass only" 💀

Creates a new instance of the class type corresponding to the SoType object.

SoType SoSFVec3d::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. It's literally just the class's ID card, and yes she keeps it in a cute little lanyard 👑

SoType SoSFVec3d::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoField. This is used for runtime type checking and "downward" casting.

Implements SoField.

void SoSFVec3d::copyFrom (const SoField & f) [virtual]

Copy value(s) from f into this field. f must be of the same type as this field. No mixing, no mashups, same type only bestie 🙈

Implements SoField.

SbBool SoSFVec3d::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

Check for equal type and value(s). Basically: are y'all twins or not 💖

Implements SoField.

void SoSFVec3d::initClass (void ) [static]

Internal method called upon initialization of the library (from SoDB::init()) to set up the type system. She's doing paperwork behind the scenes so everything else can slay ✨

void SoSFVec3d::setValue (double x, double y, double z)

Set value of vector. Three numbers, in, done. Clean, simple, iconic 🌸

void SoSFVec3d::setValue (const double xyz[3])

Set value of vector. Same energy, just fed to her as an array of three doubles instead 🎀
