Detailed Description

       The SoGlobalSimplifyAction class is for globally simplifying the geometry of a scene
       graph, globally.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

   SoGlobalSimplifyAction::SoGlobalSimplifyAction (void)
       A constructor.

   SoGlobalSimplifyAction::~SoGlobalSimplifyAction (void) [virtual]
       The destructor.

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoGlobalSimplifyAction::getTypeId (void) const [virtual]
       Returns the type identification of an action derived from a class inheriting SoAction.
       This is used for run-time type checking and 'downward' casting.

       Usage example:

       void bar(SoAction * action)
       {
         if (action->getTypeId() == SoGLRenderAction::getClassTypeId()) {
           // safe downward cast, know the type
           SoGLRenderAction * glrender = (SoGLRenderAction *)action;
         }
         return; // ignore if not renderaction
       }

       For application programmers wanting to extend the library with new actions: 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 Inventor/nodes/SoSubAction.h: SO_ACTION_SOURCE,
       SO_ACTION_INIT_CLASS and SO_ACTION_CONSTRUCTOR.

       For more information on writing Coin extensions, see the SoAction class documentation.

       Returns the actual type id of an object derived from a class inheriting SoAction. Needs to
       be overridden in all subclasses.

       Reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.

   void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::addMethod (const SoTypetype, SoActionMethodmethod) [static]
       This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.

   void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::enableElement (const SoTypetype, const intstackindex) [static]
       This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of
       interest to the application programmer.

   const SoEnabledElementsList & SoGlobalSimplifyAction::getEnabledElements (void) const
       [protected],  [virtual]
       Returns a list of the elements used by action instances of this class upon traversal
       operations.

       Reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.

   void SoGlobalSimplifyAction::beginTraversal (SoNode *node) [protected],  [virtual]
       This virtual method is called from SoAction::apply(), and is the entry point for the
       actual scenegraph traversal.

       It can be overridden to initialize the action at traversal start, for specific
       initializations in the action subclasses inheriting SoAction.

       Default method just calls traverse(), which any overridden implementation of the method
       must do too (or call SoAction::beginTraversal()) to trigger the scenegraph traversal.

       Reimplemented from SoSimplifyAction.
