DESCRIPTION

       This  node  represents  a  set of points located at the coordinates specified by the vertexProperty field
       (from SoVertexShape) or the current inherited coordinates. For optimal  performance,  the  vertexProperty
       field is recommended.

       SoPointSet uses the coordinates in order, starting with the first one. The number of points in the set is
       specified by the numPoints field.

       The coordinates of the point set are transformed by the current cumulative transformation. The points are
       drawn  with  the  current  light  model and drawing style (drawing styles FILLED and LINES are treated as
       POINTS).

       Treatment of the current material and normal binding is as follows: PER_PART,  PER_FACE,  and  PER_VERTEX
       bindings  bind one material or normal to each point. The default material binding is OVERALL. The default
       normal binding is PER_VERTEX.

FIELDS

     SoSFInt32           numPoints
          Number of points.

METHODS

                         SoPointSet()
          Creates a point set node with default settings.

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

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoGLRenderAction
          Draws points based on the current coordinates, normals, materials, drawing style, and so on.

     SoRayPickAction
          Picks points based on the current coordinates and transformation. Details about the  intersection  are
          returned in an SoPointDetail.

     SoGetBoundingBoxAction
          Computes  the bounding box that encloses all points in the set with the current transformation applied
          to them. Sets the center to the average of the coordinates of all points.

     SoCallbackAction
          If any point callbacks are registered with the action, they will be invoked for each point in the set.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

       PointSet {
          vertexProperty  NULL
          startIndex      0
          numPoints       -1
     }
