DESCRIPTION

       This  nodekit  is used to organize camera, (SoCameraKit), light, (SoLightKit), and object,
       (SoShapeKit, SoSeparatorKit, and SoWrapperKit) nodekits into a scene. A scene is  composed
       of  a  list  of  cameras,  a list of lights, and a list of children. There are three parts
       created by this nodekit: cameraList, lightList, and childList.

       The cameraList part  is  a  list  part  of  SoCameraKit  nodes.  The  list  itself  is  an
       SoNodeKitListPart, and since only one camera can be active at a time, the container of the
       list part is an SoSwitch node. Use setCameraNumber(), and  the  scene  kit  will  set  the
       switch to make that camera active.

       The  lightList part is a list of SoLightKit nodes. The lightList is used to illuminate the
       objects contained in the childList part.

       The childList part contains a set of  SoSeparatorKit  nodes.  You  can  add  any  kind  of
       SoSeparatorKit   to   this   list,  including  SoShapeKit  and  SoWrapperKit.  Since  each
       SoSeparatorKit in turn contains a childList, this part is used to describe a  hierarchical
       scene.  (See  the  reference page for SoSeparatorKit). All members of childList are lit by
       the lights in lightList and rendered by the active camera in cameraList.

PARTS

     (SoNodeKitListPart)  cameraList
          This part is an SoNodeKitListPart It has a container that is an SoSwitch node. The list
          may  contain  only SoCameraKit nodekits. The active child of the SoSwitch is the active
          camera. This part is NULL by default, but is automatically created whenever you  add  a
          camera, as with setPart("cameraList[0]", myNewCamera) .

     (SoNodeKitListPart)  lightList
          This  part is an SoNodeKitListPart that uses an defines an SoGroup as its container The
          list may contain only SoLightKit nodekits. Add SoLightKits to this list and  they  will
          light  the  members  of the childList of this SoSceneKit. This part is NULL by default,
          but is automatically created when you add a light.

     (SoNodeKitListPart)  childList
          This part is an SoNodeKitListPart that uses an SoGroup for its container. The list  may
          contain  only  SoSeparatorKit  nodekits  or nodekits derived from SoSeparatorKit (e.g.,
          SoShapeKit and SoWrapperKit). These children represent the objects in the  scene.  This
          part  is  NULL by default, but is automatically created whenever you add a child to the
          childList. Also, when asked to build a member of the childList, the scenekit will build
          an   SoShapeKit  by  default.  So  if  the  childList  part  is  NULL,  and  you  call:
          getPart("childList[0]", TRUE) . the scene kit will create  the  childList  and  add  an
          SoShapeKit as the new element in the list.

METHODS

                         SoSceneKit()
          Constructor.

     static const SoNodekitCatalog *
                         getClassNodekitCatalog() const
          Returns an SoNodekitCatalog for the class SoSceneKit.

     int                 getCameraNumber()
     void                setCameraNumber(int camNum)
          Gets  and  sets current camera index. This index refers to which child is active in the
          cameraList part (SoSwitch node).

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