👑 Detailed Description 👑

SoShadowStyle is a node for setting the shadow style on nodes. That's it, that's the job, and it eats. 💅

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

ShadowStyle {
    style CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED
}

Since — Coin 2.5 🎀

---

🦋 Member Enumeration Documentation 🦋

💅 enum SoShadowStyle::Style 💅

Enumerates the available style settings. Iconic behavior, no notes. ✨

Enumerator

• NO_SHADOWING — neither casts or receives shadows. it's giving invisible, lowkey.
• CASTS_SHADOW — casts shadow, but will no receive any shadows. (yes bestie, the original says "no receive", we're keeping it fr fr 🫶)
• SHADOWED — receives shadows, but will not cast any shadow.
• CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED — will cast and receive shadows. the full main character package 👑

Destructor. it cleans up after itself, periodt. 💅

🌟 SoType SoShadowStyle::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

okay so this is the static bestie that hands you the SoType object linked to objects of this class. that's it, that's the whole job. she's the class-level plug ✨

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

this one gives you back the type identification for an object that's derived from a class inheriting SoBase. what's it for? runtime type checking, and "downward" casting — iykyk, you're checking what something actually is before you cast it down the tree 💅

Implements SoBase.

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

ngl bestie, this API member is considered internal to the library, so it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. like, it's giving backstage pass only 🙈

what she returns: the SoFieldData class that holds the info about fields in this node.

🌸 const SoFieldData * SoShadowStyle::getFieldData (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

this cutie returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this particular instance. and if there are literally no fields present? she returns NULL. no fields, no problem, just NULL 🫶

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

⭐ void SoShadowStyle::initClass (void ) [static]

(yep, that's the whole signature, she's mysterious like that ✨)

🔥 void SoShadowStyle::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]

this is the action method for the SoGLRenderAction, okay?

she gets called during rendering traversals. any node that influences the rendering state in any way — or that wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL — overrides this method. main character energy, fr fr 👑

Reimplemented from SoNode.

💜 SoSFEnum SoShadowStyle::style

sets the current shadow style. and the default value? CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED. periodt 💅
