NAME

       SoNormalBinding -

       The SoNormalBinding class is a node for specifying normal vector bindings.

       Use nodes of this type to specify how to map normal vectors from SoNormal nodes in the
       scene graph to shape nodes.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

       The SoNormalBinding class is a node for specifying normal vector bindings.

       Use nodes of this type to specify how to map normal vectors from SoNormal nodes in the
       scene graph to shape nodes.

       FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

       NormalBinding {
           value PER_VERTEX_INDEXED
       }

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoNormalBinding::Binding
       Enumeration of available types of mappings. See documentation of SoMaterialBinding node
       for explanation of the different values.

       Note that SoNormalBinding::DEFAULT and SoNormalBinding::NONE has been obsoleted and are
       both mapped to SoNormalBinding::PER_VERTEX_INDEXED.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoNormalBinding::SoNormalBinding (void)
       Constructor.

   SoNormalBinding::~SoNormalBinding () [protected],  [virtual]
       Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoNormalBinding::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
         }
       }

       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 * SoNormalBinding::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 SoNormalBinding::doAction (SoAction *action) [virtual]
       This function performs the typical operation of a node for any action.

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   void SoNormalBinding::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 SoNormalBinding::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.

   void SoNormalBinding::pick (SoPickAction *action) [virtual]
       Action method for SoPickAction.

       Does common processing for SoPickAction action instances.

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   void SoNormalBinding::getPrimitiveCount (SoGetPrimitiveCountAction *action) [virtual]
       Action method for the SoGetPrimitiveCountAction.

       Calculates the number of triangle, line segment and point primitives for the node and adds
       these to the counters of the action.

       Nodes influencing how geometry nodes calculates their primitive count also overrides this
       method to change the relevant state variables.

       Reimplemented from SoNode.

   SbBool SoNormalBinding::readInstance (SoInput *in, unsigned shortflags) [protected],
       [virtual]
       This method is mainly intended for internal use during file import operations.

       It reads a definition of an instance from the input stream in. The input stream state
       points to the start of a serialized / persistant representation of an instance of this
       class type.

       TRUE or FALSE is returned, depending on if the instantiation and configuration of the new
       object of this class type went ok or not. The import process should be robust and handle
       corrupted input streams by returning FALSE.

       flags is used internally during binary import when reading user extension nodes, group
       nodes or engines.

       Reimplemented from SoNode.
