DESCRIPTION

       This node is the abstract base class for all shape (geometry) nodes. All  classes  derived
       from SoShape draw geometry during render traversal.

METHODS

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

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

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