🎀 Detailed Description 🎀

The SoTextDetail stores information about a character in a string. that's it, that's the job, and it slays at it 💅

Instances of this class are used for storing information about hit points on textual 2D or 3D geometry after pick operations, and for storing information returned to tessellation callbacks. so basically it's the receipts girl for when your text geometry gets poked. 💖

🧚 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🧚

SoTextDetail::SoTextDetail (void )

Constructor sets up an "empty" detail; all indices are set to -1 to indicate this. so when you make one fresh out the box, it's giving nothing has been hit yet 🙈

SoTextDetail::~SoTextDetail () [virtual]

Destructor. This class does not allocate any extra resources, so no actions are taken. no cleanup drama, no mess, we love a low-maintenance icon. ✨

👑 Member Function Documentation 👑

SoType SoTextDetail::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

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

Implements SoDetail.

SoType SoTextDetail::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. the class-level ID card, fr fr.

void SoTextDetail::cleanupClass (void ) [inline], [static]

This static method cleans up static data of the class. 🧹✨

SoDetail * SoTextDetail::copy (void ) const [virtual]

Return a deep copy of ourself. clone era 💅

⚠️ heads up bestie, this one's important: Note that if the Coin library has been built as a DLL under Microsoft Windows and you use this method from application code, you must make sure that both the Coin DLL and the application executable are using the same instance of a C Run-Time (CRT) library. Otherwise, you will get memory heap corruption upon deallocating the returned instances, eventually leading to mysterious crashes. 😭 not the mysterious crashes, pls be careful.

Implements SoDetail.

int SoTextDetail::getStringIndex (void ) const

Returns the index of the string where a character was hit / generated, from a set of multiple strings. which string, bestie? this one tells you 🔍

• SoMFString

int SoTextDetail::getCharacterIndex (void ) const

Returns the index of the character in the string which was hit. the actual letter/number/glyph that took the hit. 🎯

• getStringIndex()

int SoTextDetail::getPart (void ) const

For SoText3, returns the part id of the text geometry. The id numbers matches those specified in the SoText3::Part enumeration. 🔢

void SoTextDetail::setStringIndex (const int idx)

Internal method for "client" shape nodes to initialize this SoTextDetail instance. backstage access only, this is how the shape nodes set things up.

void SoTextDetail::setCharacterIndex (const int idx)

Internal method for "client" shape nodes to initialize this SoTextDetail instance.

void SoTextDetail::setPart (const int partarg)

Internal method for "client" shape nodes to initialize this SoTextDetail instance.
