SoTextureCombineElement(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SoTextureCombineElement(3) page from the Coin manual — yes, that Coin, the Open Inventor one, she's iconic ✨

SoTextureCombineElement — the class is, and I quote, "yet to be documented". 💀 yeah. that's the whole description. we're working with what we've got, fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <Inventor/elements/SoTextureCombineElement.h>

Inherits SoElement. she's part of the element family, main character energy 💅

👑 Detailed Description 👑

The SoTextureCombineElement class is yet to be documented.

FIXME: write doc.

okay so real talk, bestie — be aware that this class is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API. so if you're out here trying to run it on vanilla Inventor, that's a no. 🙈

🎀 Since

Coin 2.3 ⭐ (she's been around a while, respect her)

💅 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💅

SoTextureCombineElement::~SoTextureCombineElement () [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. that's it. that's the note. clean, minimal, slay 🫶

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

SoType SoTextureCombineElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. it's giving "who am I, really" but in a type-system way ✨

int SoTextureCombineElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. lowkey just an integer, highkey important 🧚

void * SoTextureCombineElement::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. (translation: not your business bestie, she's got it handled 💅)

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

void SoTextureCombineElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. ✨ one-time setup, like doing your skincare routine before the function even starts.

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

This function initializes the element type in the given SoState. It is called for the first element of each enabled element type in SoState objects.

Reimplemented from SoElement.

void SoTextureCombineElement::push (SoState * state) [virtual]

This method is called every time a new element is required in one of the stacks. This happens when a writable element is requested, using SoState::getElement() or indirectly SoElement::getElement(), and the depth of the current element is less than the state depth.

Override this method if your element needs to copy data from the previous top of stack. The push() method is called on the new element, and the previous element can be found using SoElement::getNextInStack().

Reimplemented from SoElement.

SbBool SoTextureCombineElement::matches (const SoElement * element) const [virtual]

This function returns TRUE is the element matches another element (of the same class), with respect to cache validity. (yes bestie, the original really says "is" and not "if" — we keep the facts exactly as they are, periodt 💖)

If the application programmer's extension element has a matches() function, it should also have a copyMatchInfo() function.

Implements SoElement.

SoElement * SoTextureCombineElement::copyMatchInfo (void ) const [virtual]

This function creates a copy of the element that contains enough information to enable the matches() function to work.

Used to help with scene graph traversal caching operations.

Implements SoElement.

okay so that's the whole page bestie, you made it to the end, iconic 🦋

this was the Coin version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — and that's the SoTextureCombineElement(3) page, done and dusted. mwah 💋 go forth and combine those textures, iykyk 💜
