C++

Copy

public class SoNode : SoFieldContainer

Public Class SoNode
	Inherits SoFieldContainer

public ref class SoNode : public SoFieldContainer

type SoNode =  
    class
        inherit SoFieldContainer
    end

The SoNode type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AffectsState	Returns true if a node has an effect on the state during traversal.
	Callback
	Copy	Calls Copy(false).
	Copy(Boolean)	Creates and returns an exact copy of the node.
	CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer)	Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean)	Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by SoDisposable. (Inherited from SoDisposable.)
	Distribute
	DoAction
	EnableNotify	Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	FieldsAreEqual	Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	Get	Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAllFields	Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetAlternateRep	This method is called by actions to allow the node to provide an "alternate representation" when appropriate (typically depending on the action type).
	GetBoundingBox
	GetByName(String)	A node's name can be set using ().
	GetByName(String, SoNodeList)	A node's name can be set using ().
	GetEventIn	Returns a the eventIn with the given name. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetEventOut	Returns the eventOut with the given name. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetField	Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetFieldName	Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetFields	Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	GetHashCode	Overrides GetHashCode(). (Inherited from SoNetBase.)
	GetInstanceManagedType	Gets a managed node for the given native node handle.
	GetMatrix
	GetName	Returns the name of an instance. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	GetPrimitiveCount
	GetRenderEngineMode	Returns the supported Render engine mode.
	GetRenderUnitID
	GetStringName	(Inherited from SoBase.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GLRender
	GLRenderBelowPath
	GLRenderInPath
	GLRenderOffPath
	GrabEventsCleanup
	GrabEventsSetup
	HandleEvent
	HasDefaultValues	Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	IsBoundingBoxIgnoring	This method is used by getBoundingBox action traversal to know if the current node must be traversed or not, ie the bounding should be ignored.
	IsNotifyEnabled	Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	IsOverride	Returns the state of the override flag.
	IsSynchronizable	Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	Pick
	RayPick
	Search
	Set	Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	SetName	(Inherited from SoBase.)
	SetOverride	Turns the override flag on or off.
	SetSynchronizable	Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	SetToDefaults	Sets all fields in this object to their default values. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)
	ToString	Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	Touch	Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. (Overrides SoBaseTouch.)
	Write

Properties

	Name	Description
	IsDisposable	ISafeDisposable interface implementation. (Inherited from SoDisposable.)
	UserData	Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container. (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.)

Remarks

This is the abstract base class from which all scene graph node classes are derived.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULT

This is an abstract class. See the reference page of a derived class for the format and default values.

ACTION BEHAVIOR

OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoSearchAction If the node, type, or name matches the search criteria, returns a path to the node.

OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoWriteAction Writes the contents of the node to the current OIV.Inventor.SoOutput.
