💖 SoVRMLWorldInfo 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, we're doing this 🫶 this is the Coin manual page for SoVRMLWorldInfo, section 3 of the manual (that's the C++ library girlies, iykyk). it's a long one so it's coming in two parts, and this is part 1 — so don't you dare scroll to the bottom looking for a goodbye, we are not done ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoVRMLWorldInfo — the class that holds information about the VRML scene. that's it. that's the girl. she's a container, she's documentation-coded, and honestly? iconic 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/VRMLnodes/SoVRMLWorldInfo.h>

Inherits SoNode. yes queen, she's part of the node family tree 🌳

🌟 Detailed Description 🌟

SoVRMLWorldInfo contains information about the VRML scene. that's the whole assignment, and she ate 💖

The detailed class documentation is taken verbatim from the VRML97 standard (ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997). It is copyright The Web3D Consortium, and is used by permission of the Consortium:

WorldInfo {
  field MFString info  []
  field SFString title ""
}

The WorldInfo node contains information about the world. This node is strictly for documentation purposes and has no effect on the visual appearance or behaviour of the world 👀 (yes bestie, she's decorative. she's the vibes. she changes nothing visually and that's valid). The title field is intended to store the name or title of the world so that browsers can present this to the user (perhaps in the window border). Any other information about the world can be stored in the info field, such as author information, copyright, and usage instructions 🎀

💀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💀

🫶 SoVRMLWorldInfo::SoVRMLWorldInfo (void )

Constructor. she's born ✨

🙈 SoVRMLWorldInfo::~SoVRMLWorldInfo () [protected], [virtual]

Destructor. she's gone 💀 but respectfully.

💅 Member Function Documentation 💅

Okay bestie, this is the part where we meet the functions. Every one of them, no skipping, no cap. Let's gooo. ✨

SoType SoVRMLWorldInfo::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

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

It's static, so you call it on the class itself, not on some lil instance you made. 🫶

SoType SoVRMLWorldInfo::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.

Implements SoBase.

So like, when you need to peek at what something actually is while the program is running and then cast it downward — yeah, this is the vibe check for that. 👑

const SoFieldData ** SoVRMLWorldInfo::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.

[protected] + "internal" = not your moment, bestie. It's giving library-private. If you're an app programmer, you can lowkey just scroll past this one. 🙈

const SoFieldData * SoVRMLWorldInfo::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 SoFieldContainer.

Note the NULL case — no fields, no pointer, no drama. 😭

void SoVRMLWorldInfo::initClass (void ) [static]

Fr fr the original gives us the signature and nothing else — no blurb, no tea. So I'm not gonna make stuff up, periodt. Here's the line, exactly as it lives:
void SoVRMLWorldInfo::initClass (void ) [static]

🎀 Member Data Documentation 🎀

The fields! The actual data you get to play with. Two of them. Iconic. 💖

  • SoSFString SoVRMLWorldInfo::title — World title strings.
  • SoMFString SoVRMLWorldInfo::info — Info strings.
SoSFString = single string, SoMFString = multiple strings. That's just reading the type names, not me inventing anything. 💅

🌈 Author 🌈

Generated automatically by Doxygen for Coin from the source code.

Not me getting emotional over an auto-generated author line. It's literally Doxygen doing its lil thing. 🧚

And that's a wrap on SoVRMLWorldInfo(3) bestie! 🌸 This one's from Coin version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00. Go forth and world-info responsibly. Slay, stay type-safe, and don't forget to initClass (whatever it does — the original wouldn't tell us 😭). Byeee! 💜🦋⭐
