SoBaseColor Class Reference
[Nodes]

#include <Inventor/nodes/SoBaseColor.h>

Inheritance diagram for SoBaseColor:

SoNode SoFieldContainer SoBase List of all members.

Detailed Description

The SoBaseColor class provides a node type for convenient setting of the base material color.

If you want to just set the diffuse color of the following geometry, you can use this node for simplicity.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

    BaseColor {
        rgb 0.8 0.8 0.8
    }

Member Function Documentation

SoType SoBaseColor::getClassTypeId void   )  [static]
 

This static method returns the SoType object associated with objects of this class.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

SoType SoBaseColor::getTypeId void   )  const [virtual]
 

Returns the type identification of an object derived from a class inheriting SoBase. This is used for run-time type checking and "downward" casting.

Usage example:

  void foo(SoNode * node)
  {
    if (node->getTypeId() == SoFile::getClassTypeId()) {
      SoFile * filenode = (SoFile *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
    else if (node->getTypeId().isOfType(SoGroup::getClassTypeId())) {
      SoGroup * group = (SoGroup *)node;  // safe downward cast, knows the type
    }
  }

For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new nodes, engines, nodekits, draggers or others: this method needs to be overridden in all subclasses. This is typically done as part of setting up the full type system for extension classes, which is usually accomplished by using the pre-defined macros available through for instance Inventor/nodes/SoSubNode.h (SO_NODE_INIT_CLASS and SO_NODE_CONSTRUCTOR for node classes), Inventor/engines/SoSubEngine.h (for engine classes) and so on.

For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the class documentation of the toplevel superclasses for the various class groups.

Implements SoBase.

const SoFieldData ** SoBaseColor::getFieldDataPtr void   )  [static, protected]
 

This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

const SoFieldData * SoBaseColor::getFieldData void   )  const [protected, virtual]
 

Returns a pointer to the class-wide field data storage object for this instance. If no fields are present, returns NULL.

Reimplemented from SoFieldContainer.

void SoBaseColor::initClass void   )  [static]
 

Sets up initialization for data common to all instances of this class, like submitting necessary information to the Coin type system.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoBaseColor::doAction SoAction action  )  [virtual]
 

This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoBaseColor::GLRender SoGLRenderAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Action method for the SoGLRenderAction.

This is called during rendering traversals. Nodes influencing the rendering state in any way or who wants to throw geometry primitives at OpenGL overrides this method.

Reimplemented from SoNode.

void SoBaseColor::callback SoCallbackAction action  )  [virtual]
 

Action method for SoCallbackAction.

Simply updates the state according to how the node behaves for the render action, so the application programmer can use the SoCallbackAction for extracting information about the scene graph.

Reimplemented from SoNode.
