	GeneratePick	(Overrides SoVRMLGeometryGeneratePick(SoRayPickAction, SoNode).)
	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). (Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetBoundingBox	Implements bounding box method using virtual computeBBox() method. (Inherited from SoShape.)
	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.)

	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.)
	GetMatrix	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetName	Returns the name of an instance. (Inherited from SoBase.)
	GetPrimitiveCount	Counts number of primitives produced by this shape. (Overrides SoShapeGetPrimitiveCount(SoGetPrimitiveCountAction).)
	GetRenderUnitID	(Inherited from SoNode.)
	GetShapeType	Gets the current shape Full Scene Antialiasing type. (Inherited from SoShape.)

	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. (Inherited from SoNode.)
	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. (Inherited from SoNode.)

Remarks

See the VRML97 Specification, below.

OpenGL vertex arrays are used if they are available and if the environment variable IV_NO_VERTEX_ARRAY is not set.

<font color="#0000FF">NOTE:</font> This class does not exist in Open Inventor 10.0 and later.

VRML97 SPECIFICATION

This section describes the expected behavior of the node in a conforming VRML97 browser application. In some cases, the application is responsible for implementing portions of the expected behavior. Open Inventor viewer classes and IVF classes implement some of the application behaviors.

This section may reference portions of the VRML97 specification that are not present in this help file. The complete VRML97 spec is available at http://www.web3d.org.

The SoVRMLSphere node specifies a sphere centered at (0, 0, 0) in the local coordinate system. The radius field specifies the radius of the sphere and must be >= 0.0.

When a texture is applied to a sphere, the texture covers the entire surface, wrapping counterclockwise from the back of the sphere. The texture has a seam at the back where the YZ plane intersects the sphere. SoVRMLTextureTransform affects the texture coordinates of the SoVRMLSphere.

The SoVRMLSphere geometry is considered to be solid and thus requires outside faces only. When viewed from the inside the results are undefined.
