Functions¶

static SoType SoTexture::getClassTypeId (void)
Common base class for texture nodes.

#define SO_NODE_HEADER(classname)¶

This macro adds standard declarations needed in Coin nodes for object creation and type identification.

See also

#define SO_NODE_ABSTRACT_HEADER(classname)¶

This macro adds standard declarations needed in Coin nodes for type identification. It differs from SO_NODE_HEADER in that the object creation part is omitted.

See also

#define SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS(classname, parentclass, parentname)¶

This macro is used in the initClass-function in a node class. It registers the class by name (by creating a new SoType for the class), so file reading will be able to create a node of this type and fill it with its field values.

See also

#define SO_NODE_INIT_ABSTRACT_CLASS(classname, parentclass, parentname)¶

This macro is used in the initClass-function in abstract node classes. It registers the class by name (by creating a new SoType for the class) for type identification purposes.

See also

#define SO_NODE_SOURCE(classname)¶

This macro sets up the impementation of the declarations in SO_NODE_HEADER. It chould be placed in the implementation file for extension nodes.

See also

#define SO_NODE_ABSTRACT_SOURCE(classname)¶

This macro sets up the impementation of the declarations in SO_NODE_ABSTRACT_HEADER. It chould be placed in the implementation file for abstract extension nodes.

See also

#define SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR(classname)¶

Place this in the node constructor. It sets up the fielddata object for the node class.

#define SO_NODE_IS_FIRST_INSTANCE()¶

This macro can be used as a predicate to test if the constructed node is the first constructed instance of a node class, in case some extra initialization needs to be done that can't be done in the initClass() function.

#define SO_NODE_ADD_FIELD(field, defaultvalue)¶

This registers a field for a node, and sets its value to the default value. For use in the constructor, below the SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR macro.

#define SO_NODE_DEFINE_ENUM_VALUE(enumname, enumvalue)¶

This macro associates enum names with values, used for file input/output.
