🦋 INHERITS FROM 🦋

yes, it says it inherits from itself. iconic. we don't make the rules, we just read them. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <Inventor/engines/SoEngine.h>

Methods from class SoEngineOutput:

SoType              getConnectionType() const
int                 getForwardConnections(SoFieldList &list) const
void                enable(SbBool flag)
SbBool              isEnabled() const
SoEngine*           getContainer() const

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

SoEngineOutput is the class for all engine output fields. There is no public constructor routine for this class. Only the engine classes create instances of SoEngineOutput. so like, you can't just roll up and make one yourself, bestie. the engines handle that. 🔥

Each engine creates one or more engine outputs. The type of the output is documented in the engine reference pages. There is also an SoEngineOutput method for querying the connection type. iykyk. 🫶

The application can at any time enable or disable the engine outputs. By default the engine outputs are enabled. so the default vibe is on, periodt. ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

SoType getConnectionType() const

Returns the type of field this output can connect to. that's the tea. ☕

int getForwardConnections(SoFieldList &list) const

Returns the number of fields this output is writing to, and adds pointers to those fields to the given list. so it's giving headcount plus receipts. 💌

void enable(SbBool flag)

Enables or disables all connections from this output. If the connections are disabled, values will not be output along them. By default, outputs are enabled. so flipping flag to disable means silence, and we mean silence. 🫢

SbBool isEnabled() const

Returns TRUE if this output is currently enabled. yep, a whole vibe check for your output. ✨

SoEngine* getContainer() const

Returns containing engine. the engine that holds this output, obviously. 👑
