🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

the SoSFVec4d class is a container for an SbVec4d vector. no cap. 💫

this field is used where nodes, engines or other field containers need to store a single vector with four elements. it's giving "one vector, four whole numbers, main character energy." ✨

bestie, be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. so if you go looking for it over there, it's not ghosting you, it literally does not exist. 💀

Since

Coin 2.5 🎂

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

🫶 void * SoSFVec4d::createInstance (void ) [static]

okay so this API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. (iykyk 🐸☕)

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

---

🫶 SoType SoSFVec4d::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

this static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. lowkey the class's little ID card. 🪪

---

🫶 SoType SoSFVec4d::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. slay, dynamic dispatch. 💅

Implements SoField.

---

🫶 void SoSFVec4d::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, bestie, that's a vibe check fail. 🚫

Implements SoField.

---

🫶 SbBool SoSFVec4d::isSame (const SoField & f) const [virtual]

check for equal type and value(s). literally the "are we the same person" test. 🪞

Implements SoField.

---

🫶 void SoSFVec4d::initClass (void ) [static]

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

---

🫶 void SoSFVec4d::setValue (double x, double y, double z, double w)

set value of vector. four doubles, in, done. 🔥

---

🫶 void SoSFVec4d::setValue (const double xyzw[4])

set value of vector. the array-flavoured version, same energy. 🌈

okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it. 🍽️✨ and for the little sign-off the manpage footer would've given you: this is Coin version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, filed under SoSFVec4d(3). periodt. 💖🦋🌸
