SoTransparencyElement(3)

💖 SoTransparencyElement 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're doing a Coin manpage and honestly? this one is shy. it's SoTransparencyElement, from the Coin family of 3D sorcery, and it is — no cap — yet to be documented. that's it. that's the whole personality so far. but we're still gonna read it together because we're thorough like that. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

SoTransparencyElement</p> — The SoTransparencyElement is yet to be documented. 🫶

(yeah. it's giving "mysterious." it's giving "we'll find out together.")

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Inventor/elements/SoTransparencyElement.h>

Inherits SoReplacedElement.

okay so it's a replaced element, which means it gets replaced wholesale when a new one shows up — very "new phone who dis" of it. 💀

🌸 Public Member Functions

• virtual void init (SoState *state) — initializes the element in the given state.
• int32_t getNum (void) const — FIXME: write doc.
• float get (const int index) const — FIXME: write doc.
• const float * getArrayPtr (void) const — returns a pointer to the transparency values.

not me noticing two whole FIXMEs in the public API. the docs really said "figure it out bestie" 😭

✨ Detailed Description ✨

The SoTransparencyElement is yet to be documented.

FIXME: write doc.

that's literally it. that's the detailed description. the details were not detailed. it's giving "under construction" gif from 2004. 🚧✨

🛠️ Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🛠️

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

Destructor. 💀

(it cleans up after itself. respectful. we love a tidy icon.)

📚 Member Function Documentation 📚

SoType SoTransparencyElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. 🎀

int SoTransparencyElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

This static method returns the state stack index for the class. ⭐

void * SoTransparencyElement::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.

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

(so like... bestie, if you're an app programmer, this one is not your business. iykyk. 🙈)

void SoTransparencyElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. 🌸

void SoTransparencyElement::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 SoReplacedElement.

const float * SoTransparencyElement::getArrayPtr (void ) const

Returns a pointer to the transparency values. This method is not part of the OIV API. 👑

heads up: not part of the OIV API, so don't go treating it like it is. periodt.

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 no options, no exit statuses, no environment variables — just a very mysterious element, a bunch of inherited members doing their thing, and two FIXMEs holding hands in the dark. slay, i guess. 💅

this was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00, and it lives at SoTransparencyElement(3). bye pookie 🫶✨
