💅 SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap — the Coin manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in Coin land, flipping through the manual pages, and you land on SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap(3). Same energy as the rest of the Coin crew, just with a very specific little job. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap — the class that generates texture coordinates by projecting onto a surrounding texture. that's the whole vibe. it does one thing and it does it, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull it in:

#include <Inventor/nodes/SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap.h>

and the tea ☕ — it Inherits SoTextureCoordinateFunction. so everything that class can do? yeah, it's already in the family tree 🧬

🫶 Public Member Functions

here's what you can actually call on it, no cap:

  • virtual SoType getTypeId (void) const — grabs the type id, the classic move every Coin node knows.
  • SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap (void) — the constructor. make one, go wild.
  • virtual void doAction (SoAction *action) — runs the action.
  • virtual void GLRender (SoGLRenderAction *action) — does the GL render thing.

💖 Detailed Description 💖

okay so bestie, listen — the SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap class is out here generating texture coordinates by projecting onto a surrounding texture. That's the whole vibe. ✨

The texture that specifies the environment gets mapped around the scene graph below this node using a sphere. And like, the texture is mapped onto the scene graph while taking camera position into account. The result? An object that reflects its environment. it's giving ✨mirror era✨ fr fr.

Here's a scene graph example showing how environment mapping can be applied to an object, no cap:

#Inventor V2.1 ascii

Separator {

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

  Cube {} # the environmentally mapped object
}

And the FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS situation — she's literally empty, an icon:

TextureCoordinateNormalMap {
}

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap (void )

Constructor. She's born. 🦋

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

Destructor. She's gone. 💀 (protected and virtual, just so u know)

🫶 Member Function Documentation 🫶

SoType SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. Static bestie, so u don't even need an instance. 💅

SoType SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::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 ** SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::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. Like, stay out of her business bestie. 🙈

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

const SoFieldData * SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::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. That's it, that's the tea. 🍓

Reimplemented from SoTextureCoordinateFunction.

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

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

Reimplemented from SoNode.

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

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction. 🌈

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL override this method. literally throwing shapes at OpenGL, main character energy fr. 🔥

Reimplemented from SoNode.

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

Action method for SoPickAction. 👆

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoTextureCoordinateNormalMap::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.
