SoVertexAttributeElement(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

hiii bestie, welcome to SoVertexAttributeElement(3) — yeah that's the whole page title, it's giving very "manual page, but make it mysterious". The class is SoVertexAttributeElement, and what does it do? absolutely nothing is documented yet. The official, verbatim, no-notes description is: "The SoVertexAttributeElement class is yet to be documented." That's the entire lore. We know nothing and we're at peace with it. 💀✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <Inventor/elements/SoVertexAttributeElement.h>

Inherits SoAccumulatedElement.

Inherited by SoGLVertexAttributeElement. (so it's the parent, the main character handing down the genes 💅)

🌸 Public Types 🌸

• typedef const char * Key — the Key type is literally just a const char *, slay.
• typedef SoVertexAttributeData * Type — and Type is a SoVertexAttributeData *, iconic.
• typedef void AttributeApplyFunc(const Key &key, const Type &obj, void *closure) — a callback signature taking a key, an obj and a closure, and it returns void.

✨ Detailed Description ✨

okay so the entire detailed description, word for word, is:

The SoVertexAttributeElement class is yet to be documented.

and then, even more iconic, the devs just left:

FIXME: write doc.

not me reading a FIXME in the official docs 😭 bestie they said "we'll get to it". Respect the honesty fr fr. 🫶

🎀 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 🎀

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

Destructor. That's it. That's the whole documentation. Destructor. Periodt. 💅

🔥 Member Function Documentation 🔥

SoType SoVertexAttributeElement::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class. cute little identity card for the class, honestly. 🪪

int SoVertexAttributeElement::getClassStackIndex (void ) [static]

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

void * SoVertexAttributeElement::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.

void SoVertexAttributeElement::initClass (void ) [static]

Initialize relevant common data for all instances, like the type system. setup era. ✨

void SoVertexAttributeElement::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 SoAccumulatedElement.

Reimplemented in SoGLVertexAttributeElement.

void SoVertexAttributeElement::push (SoState * state) [virtual]

Overridden to copy vertex attributes and node ids.

Reimplemented from SoAccumulatedElement.

void SoVertexAttributeElement::addElt (SoVertexAttributeData * attribdata) [protected], [virtual]

Reimplemented in SoGLVertexAttributeElement.

(no description given for this one, bestie — we just know it's reimplemented over in SoGLVertexAttributeElement.)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this was Version 4.0.10, dated Thu Jun 25 2026 00:00:00 — so go forth, use your vertex attribute element, and remember: if the docs are a FIXME, you're still valid. bye pookie, ily, slay 💅✨🦋
