SOSFFLOAT(3iv)

💖 SoSFFloat — like, the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to SoSFFloat(3IV) — the Open Inventor manual page for a field that holds exactly one floating-point number. yes, ONE. singular. it's giving minimalism, it's giving "one job and she does it". let's go 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SoSFFloat — a field containing a floating-point value. that's it. that's the whole personality. 💅

---

🧬 INHERITS FROM 🧬

SoField > SoSField > SoSFFloat

the family tree goes hard, ngl — she's a grandbaby of SoField and she inherited the whole field-girlie legacy. periodt. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first things first, you gotta pull her in:

#include <Inventor/fields/SoSFFloat.h>

🎀 Methods from class SoSFFloat 🎀

these are the ones she owns, the main character methods fr fr:

static SoType       getClassTypeId()
virtual void        getTypeId() const
float               getValue() const
float               operator =(float newValue)
void                setValue(float newValue)
int                 operator ==(const SoSFFloat &f) const
int                 operator !=(const SoSFFloat &f) const

🌈 Methods from class SoField 🌈

and these are the heirlooms she got from her ancestor SoField — the whole squad, no skips:

void                setIgnored(SbBool ignore)
SbBool              isIgnored() const
SbBool              isDefault() const
virtual SbBool      isOfType(SoType type) const
SbBool              set(const char *valueString)
void                get(SbString &valueString)
void                touch()
SbBool              connectFrom(SoField *fromField)
SbBool              connectFrom(SoEngineOutput *fromEngine)
void                disconnect()
SbBool              isConnected() const
SbBool              isConnectedFromField() const
SbBool              getConnectedField(SoField *&writingField) const
SbBool              isConnectedFromEngine() const
SbBool              getConnectedEngine(SoEngineOutput *&engineOutput)
                        const
void                enableConnection(SbBool flag)
SbBool              isConnectionEnabled() const
int                 getForwardConnections(SoFieldList &list) const
SoFieldContainer *  getContainer() const

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically — a field that contains one single-precision floating point number. one. single. precision. no cap, that's the entire vibe. 🍓

and here's a lil detail that matters: SoSFFloats are written to file in standard scientific notation. so when she gets saved to disk she's out here looking like 1.000000e+00, iconic honestly, very STEM girlie of her. 🔥

🌟 METHODS 🌟

⭐ static SoType getClassTypeId()

⭐ virtual void getTypeId() const

returns the type for this class, or for one particular object of this class. y'know, the "who am I" of it all. main character identity check. 💫

⭐ float getValue() const

returns this field's value. the number. the actual number. she said "here, take it". 🫶

⭐ float operator =(float newValue)

⭐ void setValue(float newValue)

sets this field to newValue. both roads lead to the same slay. ✨

⭐ int operator ==(const SoSFFloat &f) const

⭐ int operator !=(const SoSFFloat &f) const

returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this field. like, same energy AND same number, or it's a no from her. 💀

lowkey reminder bestie: this is the SoSFFloat(3IV) page, Open Inventor era, and the footer is just her little name tag — no extra date stamp, no version drama. so that's the whole page. you read it. you understood it. you ATE. 🎀🦋✨💅

that's the manual, bestie — go forth and float, singularly. 💖
