Detailed Description

       The SoCone class is for rendering cone shapes.

       Insert a cone shape into the scenegraph. The cone is rendered with the current material,
       texture and drawstyle settings (if any, otherwise the default settings are used).

       The SoCone node class is provided as a convenient abstraction for the application
       programmer to use 'complex' shapes of this type without having to do the tessellation to
       polygons and other low-level programming herself.

       A cone is visualized by the underlying rendering system by first tessellating the
       conceptual cone into a set of polygons. To control the trade-off between an as much as
       possible correct visual appearance of the cone versus fast rendering, use an SoComplexity
       node to influence the number of polygons generated from the tessellation process. (The
       higher the complexity value, the more polygons will be generated, the more rounded the
       sides of the cone will look.) Set the SoComplexity::value field to what you believe would
       be a good trade-off between correctness and speed for your particular application.

       FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

       Cone {
           bottomRadius 1
           height 2
           parts (SIDES | BOTTOM)
       }

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum SoCone::Part
       Enumerates the various parts of the cone, for setting inclusion or exclusion from the
       shape.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoCone::SoCone (void)
       Constructor.

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

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoCone::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.

       Reimplemented from SoShape.

   const SoFieldData * SoCone::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 SoShape.

   void SoCone::addPart (SoCone::Partpart)
       Add a part to the cone.

       See Also:
           removePart(), hasPart()

   void SoCone::removePart (SoCone::Partpart)
       Remove a part from the cone.

       See Also:
           addPart(), hasPart()

   SbBool SoCone::hasPart (SoCone::Partpart) const
       Returns TRUE if rendering of the given part is currently turned on.

       See Also:
           addPart(), removePart()

   void SoCone::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 SoShape.

   void SoCone::rayPick (SoRayPickAction *action) [virtual]
       Calculates picked point based on primitives generated by subclasses.

       Reimplemented from SoShape.

   void SoCone::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 SoShape.

   void SoCone::generatePrimitives (SoAction *action) [protected],  [virtual]
       The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoCallbackAction. It is invoked
       from SoShape::callback(). (Subclasses should not override SoNode::callback().)

       The subclass implementations uses the convenience methods SoShape::beginShape(),
       SoShape::shapeVertex(), and SoShape::endShape(), with SoDetail instances, to pass the
       primitives making up the shape back to the caller.

       Implements SoShape.

   void SoCone::computeBBox (SoAction *action, SbBox3f &box, SbVec3f &center) [protected],
       [virtual]
       Implemented by SoShape subclasses to let the SoShape superclass know the exact size and
       weighted center point of the shape's bounding box.

       The bounding box and center point should be calculated and returned in the local
       coordinate system.

       The method implements action behavior for shape nodes for SoGetBoundingBoxAction. It is
       invoked from SoShape::getBoundingBox(). (Subclasses should not override
       SoNode::getBoundingBox().)

       The box parameter sent in is guaranteed to be an empty box, while center is undefined upon
       function entry.

       Implements SoShape.
