💖 SoShaderParameterArray3f(3) — Coin 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Coin manual, section 3 — you know, the library docs zone. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing shader parameters today.

✨ NAME ✨

SoShaderParameterArray3f — the class that's literally the way to define a three-dimensional floating point array as a shader parameter. 🦋

that's it, that's the whole name section, but like… it's giving foundational. this is the class you reach for when your shader needs a whole lil array of float triples (three dimensions, babes — x, y, z energy ✨) and you want it wired up as a shader parameter. no cap.

heads up bestie, this page is a whole saga — there's more coming, so stay with me 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Inventor/nodes/SoShaderParameter.h>

Inherits SoUniformShaderParameter.

okay so bestie, you know the drill. this class is all about them shader parameters. it inherits from SoUniformShaderParameter, which is lowkey iconic. 💅

💀 Detailed Description 💀

so like, the whole point of SoShaderParameterArray3f is to define a three-dimensional floating point array as a shader parameter. it's giving major shader parameter energy. 💅✨

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

Okay bestie, this is where the actual doing stuff happens. Buckle up, we're going through every single one of these, no skips, no skimming. ✨

🌸 SoType SoShaderParameterArray3f::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

Like, it's the static one — you don't even need an instance to call it. It just hands you the SoType for this whole class. Iconic behaviour, honestly. 🫶

🦋 SoType SoShaderParameterArray3f::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

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

So like… you've got an SoBase-ish thing and you're like "wait, what are you actually?" — this is the method that tells you. It's for checking types while the program is running, and for casting down the inheritance tree. Very "who are you really" energy. 💅

Reimplemented from SoUniformShaderParameter.

Not me reimplementing from SoUniformShaderParameter — it's giving inheritance, it's giving override, it's giving respect the family tree. 👑

🎀 const SoFieldData ** SoShaderParameterArray3f::getFieldDataPtr (void ) [static], [protected]

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

Okay so real talk: this one is protected and it's internal. The library itself says it's "not likely to be of interest to the application programmer" — which is a very polite way of saying bestie this is not for you, this is for the library's own business. 🫣 But it still returns the SoFieldData class that holds all the field info for this node. Just… don't come for it unless you know what you're doing, fr fr.

🌈 const SoFieldData * SoShaderParameterArray3f::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

So it's giving you the pointer to the class-wide field data storage for this specific instance. And listen — if there are no fields, you get NULL. Not empty, not a lil baby object, straight up NULL. Plan accordingly. 😭

Reimplemented from SoUniformShaderParameter.

🔥 void SoShaderParameterArray3f::updateParameter (SoGLShaderObject * shaderObject) [virtual]

Updates the shader parameter in the OpenGL state with the content of the value field.

This is the one that actually does the thing. It takes your value field and pushes it into the OpenGL state through the shaderObject. That's the whole point of the class, and she ate. ✨

Implements SoUniformShaderParameter.

🍓 Member Data Documentation 🍓

💜 SoMFVec3f SoShaderParameterArray3f::value

The shader parameter value.

That's it, that's the data. The value. The actual shader parameter value, living in an SoMFVec3f — multi-field, 3-float vectors, one per array entry. She's the main character of this whole node, no cap. 👑

And that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎉 You made it to the end — every method, every flag, every [static], every [virtual], every [protected], all of it, not one single detail dropped. Vibe check: passed. 🌈

This little masterpiece came to you courtesy of Coin, version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00. Put it in your calendar, frame it, whatever — she's timestamped and she's iconic. 💖

Now go forth and parameter your arrays, and remember: value goes in, shader state comes out, and you understood all of it. Slay. 💅✨🎀
