INHERITS FROM

       SoDetail

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/details/SoDetail.h>

          Methods from class SoDetail:

     SoDetail *          copy() const
     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const

DESCRIPTION

       SoDetail  is  the  abstract  base  class  for all detail classes. A detail contains shape-
       specific information about a particular shape during  picking  and  primitive  generation.
       Subclasses store information based on the particular type of shape.

METHODS

     SoDetail *          copy() const
          Returns  an  instance  that  is  a copy of this instance. The caller is responsible for
          deleting the copy when it is no longer needed.

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

     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
          Returns the type identifier for a specific instance.

     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const
          Returns TRUE if this object is of the type specified in type or is  derived  from  that
          type. Otherwise, it returns FALSE.
