SODECOMPOSEVEC3F(3iv)

💖 SoDecomposeVec3f — bestie's guide to the 3IV era 💖

okay so you found a manual page from the SoDecomposeVec3f(3IV) era and you're like "what is this" — don't worry, I got you. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's vibe.

✨ NAME ✨

SoDecomposeVec3f — she decomposes 3D vectors into floating-point values. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 👑

---

🌸 INHERITS FROM 🌸

This is her family tree, her lineage, her main character ancestry:

SoBase > SoFieldContainer > SoEngine > SoDecomposeVec3f

So she's a SoBase, which is a SoFieldContainer, which is a SoEngine, which is a SoDecomposeVec3f. Iconic bloodline, no notes. 💅

Methods from class SoEngine

These are the inherited ones, and yes, all of them are here, I'm not skipping a single one:

static SoType       getClassTypeId()
virtual int         getOutputs(SoEngineOutputList &list) const
SoEngineOutput *    getOutput(const SbName &outputName) const
SbBool              getOutputName(const SoEngineOutput *output, SbName
                         &outputName) const
SoEngine *          copy() const
static SoEngine *   getByName(const SbName &name)
static int          getByName(const SbName &name, SoEngineList &list)

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So basically this engine takes a 3D vector as input, and then — plot twist — she decomposes it into three single floating-point values. That's the whole glow-up. One vector goes in, three floats come out. ✨

And here's the part that's lowkey underrated: the input can have multiple values, which means she can decompose several vectors in parallel. Not one at a time, bestie — all of them, together, like a synchronized swimming routine. 🏊‍♀️

---

🎀 INPUTS 🎀

• SoMFVec3f vector — the vector to be decomposed. She's the one getting taken apart, respectfully. 🫶

---

🌈 OUTPUTS 🌈

• (SoMFFloat) x — first component of the vector. ✨
• (SoMFFloat) y — second component of the vector. ✨
• (SoMFFloat) z — third component of the vector. ✨

Three outputs, three components, zero drama. The way that x, y, z just work together? Obsessed. 💅

---

⭐ METHODS ⭐

• SoDecomposeVec3f() — constructor. She's being born. Welcome to the world, queen. 👑

---

🧚 FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS 🧚

This is what she looks like when you write her out, fresh out of the box:

DecomposeVec3f {
    vector  0 0 0
}

Default vector is 0 0 0. Neutral. Chill. Zeroed out. We love a clean slate. 🍓

quick note, bestie: everything above is exactly what the page says. I'm not adding lore, I'm not making stuff up, I'm just delivering the facts with ✨flair✨. iykyk.

okay that's the whole page! this was the SoDecomposeVec3f(3IV) manual — that's the source/version tag it lives under — and the page carries no date on it, just the version marker and nothing else. fr fr. hope this helped, mwah, go decompose some vectors responsibly 💖✨🎀🦋🌸💅
