🎀 SoVRMLVertexLine — manual page for SoVRMLVertexLine(3), Coin edition 🎀

okay bestie, settle in, grab a lil strawberry drink 🍓, because we're reading the Coin docs together and this one is the blueprint page. No cap.

💖 NAME 💖

SoVRMLVertexLine — the class that is the superclass for line based VRML geometry. Like, the mother of all line-y VRML shapes. She's the blueprint. The blueprint-iest. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First thing, you gotta include her:

#include <Inventor/VRMLnodes/SovRMLVertexLine.h>

Inherits SoVRMLGeometry.

Inherited by SoVRMLIndexedLine. (yes, she has a whole lineage, it's giving royal family 🌈)

🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

so basically: the SoVRMLVertexLine class is a superclass for line based VRML geometry. it's the parent energy, the blueprint, the whole vibe that the line-y VRML nodes build on. periodt. 💖

🛠️ Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🛠️

SoVRMLVertexLine::SoVRMLVertexLine (void ) [protected] 💫

Constructor. it makes one. that's the whole thing bestie, she's simple and she's iconic.

SoVRMLVertexLine::~SoVRMLVertexLine () [protected], [virtual] 💀

Destructor. it unmakes one. gone but never forgotten. 🕊️

📚 Member Function Documentation 📚

SoType SoVRMLVertexLine::getClassTypeId (void ) [static] ⭐

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. like a little class ID card, iykyk.

SoType SoVRMLVertexLine::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. so like, "who are you really" energy, and also "lemme talk to your subclass" energy.

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedLine, and SoVRMLIndexedLineSet.

const SoFieldData ** SoVRMLVertexLine::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. so like... not for you bestie, it's giving private group chat 😭

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

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLVertexLine::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. okay so NULL is a whole possibility here, don't come for me.

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedLine, and SoVRMLIndexedLineSet.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::initClass (void ) [static] 🎬

(no description given, she's mysterious like that. the manpage just doesn't say. respect it. 🙈)

void SoVRMLVertexLine::doAction (SoAction * action) [virtual] 🎯

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. the main character moment for whatever action you throw at it.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::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. yes, "throw geometry primitives at OpenGL" is literally the official phrasing and honestly? slay. 💅

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedLineSet.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::getBoundingBox (SoGetBoundingBoxAction * action) [virtual] 📦

Action method for the SoGetBoundingBoxAction.

Calculates bounding box and center coordinates for node and modifies the values of the action to encompass the bounding box for this node and to shift the center point for the scene more towards the one for this node. so she's out here expanding the vibe and pulling focus. main character energy fr.

Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculate their bounding box also override this method to change the relevant state variables.

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedLineSet.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::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 the "tell me everything" of actions. nosy in a helpful way. 💖

Reimplemented from SoShape.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::pick (SoPickAction * action) [virtual] 🎯

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances. the "did u click on me tho" pipeline.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLVertexLine::notify (SoNotList * l) [virtual] 📣

Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made. like posting to the group chat when something changes so everyone knows. NO ONE gets left on read.

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLIndexedLine, and SoVRMLIndexedLineSet.

SbBool SoVRMLVertexLine::shouldGLRender (SoGLRenderAction * action) [protected], [virtual] 🤔

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer. again — not for you, bestie, stay in your lane (affectionately 💜).

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

💾 Member Data Documentation 💾

SoSFNode SoVRMLVertexLine::coord 📍

Should contain an SoVRMLCoordinate node. "should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there but okay girl, we trust you.

SoSFNode SoVRMLVertexLine::color 🎨

Can contain an SoVRMLColor node if multiple colors are wanted. rainbow arc incoming 🌈

SoSFBool SoVRMLVertexLine::colorPerVertex 🌸

When TRUE, colors will be bound per vertex, otherwise per line. Default value is TRUE. so the default is per-vertex bestie, don't forget it.
