SoTextureCoordinateSphere(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, pull up a chair and let me tell you about SoTextureCoordinateSphere(3) 💖 — a Coin manual page, section 3, and the main character here is SoTextureCoordinateSphere, the class that generates sphere mapped texture coordinates for shapes. that's literally her whole job description, no cap. ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta summon her into your code like this:

#include <include/Inventor/nodes/SoTextureCoordinateSphere.h>

and she Inherits SoNode, so the entire node family inheritance package comes with her. slay. 🫶

🌈 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so the whole point of her: the SoTextureCoordinateSphere class generates sphere mapped texture coordinates for shapes. that's the tea. 🍵

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

TextureCoordinateSphere {
}

look at that. an empty little node with nothing inside and yet so much power. it's giving minimalism. ✨

💀 CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION 💀

🌸 SoTextureCoordinateSphere::SoTextureCoordinateSphere (void )

Constructor. she's being born, bestie. 🎀

🌸 SoTextureCoordinateSphere::~SoTextureCoordinateSphere () [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. she's leaving the chat. 💀 (protected and virtual, so mind your business and let her go.)

💖 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💖

Okay bestie, this is the juicy part — every single method this node has, in order, no skips. Buckle up. 🎀

---

🌟 SoType SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getClassTypeId — the static one

SoType SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getClassTypeId (void )

static bestie. It's a static method, which means you call it on the class itself, not on an instance.

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. That's it. That's the whole job. Slay. 💅

---

🌟 SoType SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getTypeId — the const virtual one

SoType SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getTypeId (void ) const

virtual and const, yes ma'am, both.

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is what gets used for runtime type checking and for "downward" casting — you know, the whole is-this-actually-what-I-think-it-is vibe check at runtime. 🔍

Implements SoBase.

---

🌟 const SoFieldData ** SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getFieldDataPtr — protected static

const SoFieldData ** SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getFieldDataPtr (void )

static, protected — so hands off unless you're family. 🙈

Heads up bestie: this API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. Not for you, fr fr. It's for the library's own business.

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

---

🌟 const SoFieldData * SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getFieldData — protected virtual

const SoFieldData * SoTextureCoordinateSphere::getFieldData (void ) const

protected, virtual ✨

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. And if there are no fields present? It returns NULL. Just straight up NULL. No fields, no data, no problem. 😭

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

---

🌟 void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::doAction — virtual

void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::doAction (SoAction * action)

virtual 🌈

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. Any action. It's the general-purpose "do the thing" of node behaviour.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

---

🌟 void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::GLRender — virtual

void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::GLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action)

virtual 🔥

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes that influence the rendering state in any way — or that just want to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL — override this method. That's the whole assignment, bestie. 🎨

Reimplemented from SoNode.

---

🌟 void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::callback — virtual

void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::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. It's giving state, but make it queryable. 👑

Reimplemented from SoNode.

---

🌟 void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::pick — virtual

void SoTextureCoordinateSphere::pick (SoPickAction * action)

virtual 💜

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances. Standard procedure, no notes. ✨

Reimplemented from SoNode.

And that's the whole page, bestie!! 💅 This was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026, and yes the date on the original was Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:0 — iconic truncation, we love her. 🎀✨ Go forth and texture-coordinate your spheres, you absolute main character. 🦋💖
