SOSFBOOL(3iv)

💖 SoSFBool — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for SoSFBool, from the 3IV manual, and honestly? she's a little icon. one boolean, one field, zero drama. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SoSFBool — a field that holds exactly one boolean value. that's it. that's the whole girl. true or false, no in-between, no "it's complicated" 💅

🦋 INHERITS FROM 🦋

SoField > SoSField > SoSFBool

she comes from a long line of distinguished field girlies. know your lineage, bestie 👑

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

a field containing a single boolean (true or false) value. literally just one. not a collection, not a list, not a situationship. ONE. 🍓

and here's the fun part — when SoSFBools get written out to a file, they show up as any of these:

• "0" — which means FALSE
• "1"
• "TRUE"
• "FALSE"

so like, yes, she has range ✨ but it's still just a yes/no at heart, iykyk.

---

🔥 METHODS 🔥

• static SoType getClassTypeId()
• virtual void getTypeId() const

returns the type for this class, or for one particular object of this class. type check yourself before you wreck yourself 💅

• SbBool getValue() const

hands you back this field's value. the whole point of her existence, honestly 🌈

• SbBool operator =(SbBool newValue)
• void setValue(SbBool newValue)

sets this field to newValue. glow-up, but make it boolean 👑

• int operator ==(const SoSFBool &f) const
• int operator !=(const SoSFBool &f) const

returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this field. same type, same vibe, same value — then and only then are y'all matching 🫶

SoField, SoSField, SoMFBool — the friend group. go say hi to SoMFBool if one boolean isn't enough for you, no judgment 💖

k that's the whole page bestie!! this was SoSFBool(3IV) from the 3IV manual, header and footer both reading SoSFBool(3IV)() — same name top and bottom, which is honestly very main character of her 💅✨ bye ily, go set a boolean 🌸
