SOSFVEC4F(3iv)

💖 SoSFVec4f — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is SoSFVec4f(3IV) — that's the manual name, that's the vibe, we're in section 3IV, it's giving Open Inventor core library energy 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Field containing a homogeneous three-dimensional vector. that's it, that's the whole girl. a whole four-float moment. 🌈

and here's the tea bestie: SoSFVec4fs are written to file as four floating point values separated by whitespace. so like, four numbers, vibes only, spaces in between. no cap. 🍓

---

🌟 METHODS 🌟

• void setValue(float x, float y, float z, float w)
• void setValue(const float xyzw[4])

Sets the field to the given value. drop the numbers in, boom, that's the value now ✨

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

Returns the type for this class or a particular object of this class. like, who am I? class edition 💅

• const SbVec4f & getValue() const

Returns this field's value. hand it over, let me see 👀

• const SbVec4f & operator =(const SbVec4f & newValue)
• void setValue(const SbVec4f & newValue)

Sets this field to newValue.</seach> — she becomes the new value. main character transformation arc 💖

• int operator ==(const SoSFVec4f &f) const
• int operator !=(const SoSFVec4f &f) const

Returns TRUE if f is of the same type and has the same value as this field. same type AND same value, both, no shortcuts 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🫶 this was SoSFVec4f(3IV)() — same name up top, same name down at the bottom, so you know it's official. go forth and store those four floats, you absolute icon 👑💜
