💖 Detailed Description 💖

The SoVRMLVertexPoint class is a superclass for point based VRML shapes. It's giving parent energy, honestly — it's the base everything pointy inherits from. 👑

🛠️ Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🛠️

SoVRMLVertexPoint::SoVRMLVertexPoint (void ) [protected]

Constructor. The origin story. ✨

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

Destructor. Say bye bestie 🫶

📚 Member Function Documentation 📚

SoType SoVRMLVertexPoint::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

SoType SoVRMLVertexPoint::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.

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLPointSet.

const SoFieldData ** SoVRMLVertexPoint::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.

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLVertexPoint::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 SoVRMLGeometry.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLPointSet.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::initClass (void ) [static]

(no description given, bestie — the docs just leave this one sitting there in silence 😭)

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

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action. Lowkey the catch-all of the action world.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::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. Straight up yeeting primitives at OpenGL, periodt 🔥

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLPointSet.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::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.

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

Reimplemented from SoShape.

Reimplemented in SoVRMLPointSet.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::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 SoShape.

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

Action method for SoPickAction.

Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction * action) [virtual]

Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds these to the counters of the action. She's counting 📊✨

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

Reimplemented from SoShape.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::notify (SoNotList * l) [virtual]

Notifies all auditors for this instance when changes are made. Gossip protocol but make it scene graph 💬

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

SbBool SoVRMLVertexPoint::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.

Reimplemented from SoVRMLGeometry.

void SoVRMLVertexPoint::computeBBox (SoAction * action, SbBox3f & box, SbVec3f & center) [protected], [virtual]

Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local coordinate system.

The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon function entry. Do not trust center walking in the door, bestie, she has no value yet 💀

Implements SoShape.

SoSFNode SoVRMLVertexPoint::color

Can contain an SoVRMLColor node when color per point is needed. Only when you need per-point color, iykyk 🎨
