NAME

       SoInfo -

       The SoInfo class is a node for holding text information.

       This is simply a placeholder for textual information about a scene. Typically used for
       specifying author and copyright information in Inventor format files, but can also be used
       for other purposes, of course.

Detailed Description

       The SoInfo class is a node for holding text information.

       This is simply a placeholder for textual information about a scene. Typically used for
       specifying author and copyright information in Inventor format files, but can also be used
       for other purposes, of course.

       SoInfo nodes does not influence traversal in any way for any of the builtin actions.

       FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS:

       Info {
           string "<Undefined info>"
       }

Member Function Documentation

   SoType SoInfo::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.

       Implements SoBase.

   const SoFieldData * SoInfo::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 SoFieldContainer.
