🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, deep breath, because this one's a baddie 💖 this is SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment(3) — yes, the Coin manual page, section 3, the whole thing. sit with me.

SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment — the SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment class generates texture coordinates by projecting onto a surrounding texture. that's the serve. she takes your scene and gives it ✨environment-mapped texture coordinates✨ like it's nothing. iconic behavior, no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🌊 Detailed Description 🌊

okay so bestie, here's the whole vibe of SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment: it makes texture coordinates by projecting onto a surrounding texture. That's it, that's the whole personality. 💅

The texture that specifies the environment gets mapped around the scene graph below this node using a sphere. And the way it maps takes camera position into account — so the texture literally moves with your viewpoint. The glow-up? Your object ends up reflecting its environment. Main character energy, fr fr. ✨

Here's a scene graph example showing how environment mapping can be applied to an object:

#Inventor V2.1 ascii

Separator {

  Texture2 {
    filename "ocean.jpg" # the environment, in this case ocean
  }
  TextureCoordinateEnvironment {}

  Cube {} # the environmentally mapped object
}
🫶 lowkey obsessed with how the Cube {} gets the whole ocean reflected onto it. iconic.

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment (void )

Constructor. Just making the thing. ✨

SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::~SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment ()

[protected], [virtual]

Destructor. It's protected, so this is the library's business, not yours, bestie. 💜

💖 Member Function Documentation 💖

SoType SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. Type-identity check, but make it static. 🌸

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

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

Reimplemented from SoTextureCoordinateFunction.

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

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Returns the SoFieldData class which holds information about fields in this node.

🙈 bestie this one is not for you, it's giving "library internals only".

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

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoTextureCoordinateFunction.

void SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual]

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. 🦋

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way, or that want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL, override this method. 🔥

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::pick (SoPickAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances. Picking, but the usual way. ✨

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoTextureCoordinateEnvironment::callback (SoCallbackAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph. 🌈

Reimplemented from SoNode.
