DESCRIPTION

       This  class  contains  detail  information about a point on a face in a vertex-based shape
       made of faces. The information includes the number of  points  in  the  face,  the  points
       forming the vertices of the face, and the index of the face within the shape.

       Note  that  when  an  SoFaceDetail is returned from picking (in an SoPickedPoint), it will
       contain details for all points defining the face that was intersected.  However,  when  an
       SoFaceDetail  is  created  for  a  triangle  produced  during  primitive generation (in an
       SoPrimitiveVertex), it will contain details for only the three vertices of the triangle.

METHODS

                            SoFaceDetail()
     virtual                ~SoFaceDetail()
          Constructor and destructor.

     long                   getNumPoints() const
          Returns the number of points in the face.

     const SoPointDetail *  getPoint(int i) const
          Returns information about the point forming the i'th vertex of the face, represented as
          an SoPointDetail.

     int32_t                getFaceIndex() const
          Returns the index of the face within the shape.

     int32_t                getPartIndex() const
          Returns the index of the part containing the face within the shape.

     static SoType          getClassTypeId()
          Returns type identifier for this class.
