💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

🌟 virtual SoType SoShapeSimplifyAction::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

So this one hands you back the type identification of an object derived from a class that inherits SoAction. What's it for? Runtime type checking, and "downward" casting. Fr fr, it's how you figure out what you're actually holding. 🫶

It's reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.

💀 void SoShapeSimplifyAction::addMethod (const SoType type, SoActionMethod method) [static]

ngl, this API member is considered internal to the library, because it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. So if you're out here writing an app, this one's not your business bestie. 🙈

💀 void SoShapeSimplifyAction::enableElement (const SoType type, const int stackindex) [static]

Same energy: this API member is considered internal to the library, since it's not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. 🫶

🦋 virtual const SoEnabledElementsList & SoShapeSimplifyAction::getEnabledElements (void ) const [protected], [virtual]

Returns the list of enabled elements. That's it, that's the whole description. Simple. Elegant. Periodt. ✨

It's reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.

🔥 virtual void SoShapeSimplifyAction::beginTraversal (SoNode * node) [protected], [virtual]

okay this one's the main character of the traversal world. This virtual method gets called from SoAction::apply(), and it's the entry point for the actual scene graph traversal.

You can override it to initialize the action at traversal start — specifically for those initializations you want in the action subclasses that inherit SoAction. 🎀

The default method just calls traverse(). And heads up: any overridden implementation of this method must call traverse() too (or call SoAction::beginTraversal()) to trigger the scene graph traversal. No skipping that step, or nothing actually traverses. 😭

It's reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.
