SoShadowStyleElement(3)

💖 SoShadowStyleElement 💖

okay so this is the manual page for SoShadowStyleElement from Coin — section 3 of the manual, bestie. pull up a chair, we're doing this together. 🫶✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

SoShadowStyleElement — and the actual official description is, word for word, that the SoShadowStyleElement class is yet to be documented. 💀 yeah. that's it. that's the name section. we move.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/annex/FXViz/elements/SoShadowStyleElement.h>

she Inherits SoInt32Element, btw. a whole legacy lineage, we respect it. 👑

🎀 Public Types 🎀

enum StyleFlags {
     NO_SHADOWING = 0x0,
     CASTS_SHADOW = 0x1,
     SHADOWED = 0x2,
     CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED = CASTS_SHADOW|SHADOWED
}

so real quick, the style flags are: NO_SHADOWING which is 0x0, CASTS_SHADOW which is 0x1, SHADOWED which is 0x2, and CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED which is literally CASTS_SHADOW|SHADOWED. the way it just ors them together?? obsessed. 💅

not me reading FIXME: write doc. four times in a row 😭 the docs team said "later" and meant it fr fr.

📖 Detailed Description 📖

so, the <pink>SoShadowStyleElement</pink> class is — say it with me — yet to be documented. 💀

FIXME: write doc.

Since Coin 2.5 — yeah she's been around since 2.5, an elder, a legend, a queen who simply never got her docs written. 👑

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

SoShadowStyleElement::~SoShadowStyleElement (void ) [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. that's the whole description, no notes. 🫶

---

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

SoType SoShadowStyleElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

this static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. iconic behavior honestly. ✨

int SoShadowStyleElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

this static method returns the state stack index for the class. 🎀

void * SoShadowStyleElement::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, if you're an app dev, this one's not for you bestie, it's an iykyk situation. 🙈

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

void SoShadowStyleElement::initClass (void ) [static]

initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. setting up the whole squad before the party starts, fr. 🎉

void SoShadowStyleElement::init (SoState * state) [virtual]

initializes the element to its default value. and the default value is SoShadowStyleElement::CASTS_SHADOW_AND_SHADOWED. so it comes out the gate casting shadows and being shadowed. main character energy, honestly. 👑

Reimplemented from SoInt32Element.

and that's the whole page bestie!! this was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and it's the SoShadowStyleElement(3) page. slay, you read the entire thing, I'm so proud of you. 🌈⭐💖 go hydrate and go write those FIXME docs, periodt. 💅
