🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

🌸 Classes 🌸

here's the whole squad, in order, no cap:

• class SoFieldContainer — the base class for all the classes that contain fields. the founding mother, fr fr. 👑
• class SoInput — an abstraction of file import functionality. it's the one handling the reading-in of stuff. 📥
• class SoOutput — an abstraction of an output stream. the mirror twin of SoInput, and yes they ate. 📤
• class SoAudioDevice — used to control an audio device. sound on, bestie. 🔊
• class SoBase — the top-level superclass for a number of class-hierarchies. the ultimate ancestor, the great-great-great-grandparent of the whole family tree. 🌳
• class SoChildList — a container for node children. it holds the kids. literally. 🧺
• class SoContextHandler — for now to be treated as an internal class. so like, hands off, it's private business. 🙈
• class SoDB — keeps track of internal global data. the memory of the operation, lowkey. 🧠
• class SoFullPath — lets you examine hidden children in paths. sneaky peeky mode activated. 👀
• class SoInteraction — takes care of initializing internal classes. it does the setup, it's the responsible one. 🫶
• class SoJavaScriptEngine — yet to be documented. we know nothing. it's a mystery, it's a vibe, it's giving enigma. 💀
• class SoLightPath — a light version of SoPath. diet SoPath. skinny legend. 🍓
• class SoLockManager — a defunct software license lock mechanism. girl, it's retired. it's not coming back. deprecated behavior, we don't use it, periodt. ⚰️
• class SoNormalGenerator — used to generate normals. not "normal" as in boring, normals as in the geometry kind. slay. 📐
• class SoNotRec — specifies records for notification lists. the receipts, bestie, the receipts. 🧾
• class SoNotList — a list of SoNotRec notification records. a whole stack of receipts. 🗂️
• class SoPath — a container class for traversal path descriptions. it knows the way. 🗺️
• class SoPickedPoint — used for specifying picked points. point at it, and it shall be picked. 💅
• class SoPrimitiveVertex — represents a single vertex of a generated primitive. just one little point, doing its little job. so brave. ⭐
• class SoSceneManager — provides the main interface between the scene graph and the GUI toolkit. the social butterfly connecting two whole worlds. 🦋
• class SoState — manages the Coin scene graph traversal state data. it keeps the state of things, highkey important. 🧚
• class SoTempPath — used to store temporary paths. here for a good time, not a long time. ⏳
• class SoType — the basis for the runtime type system in Coin. the blueprint of blueprints, the origin story. 🌈
• class SoOffscreenRenderer — used for rendering scenes to offscreen buffers. rendering where nobody can see you, which is honestly a mood. 🎬
• class SoAuditorList — used to keep track of auditors for certain object classes. the audience, the watchers. 🫂
• class SoBaseList — a container for pointers to SoBase derived objects. a whole list of SoBase babies. 👶
• class SoCallbackList — a container for callback function pointers. ring ring, your callback is calling. 📞
• class SoPathList — a container for pointers to SoPath objects. 🛣️
• class SoPickedPointList — a container for pointers to SoPickedPoint objects. 📍
• class SoTypeList — a container class for arrays of SoType objects. the final boss of lists, and yes she ate. 💜
