DESCRIPTION

       This node is the abstract base class for all vertex-based shapes that are not  constructed
       from indices, such as SoFaceSet, SoLineSet, and SoQuadMesh.

       All  subclasses  of SoNonIndexedShape construct objects by using the coordinates specified
       in the vertexProperty field (from SoVertexShape), or the  current  inherited  coordinates.
       The  startIndex field defined by this class is now obsolete, and is provided here only for
       compatibility with old files and programs.

       The subclass decides what to do with this and any subsequent  coordinates.  The  shape  is
       drawn  with the current lighting model and drawing style and is transformed by the current
       transformation matrix.

       Material, normal, and texture coordinate bindings  for  shapes  derived  from  this  class
       ignore  any  index specifications. That is, a binding value of PER_FACE_INDEXED is treated
       the same way as PER_FACE, and so on.

       If there aren't sufficient  values  in  the  current  coordinates,  material,  or  texture
       coordinates, errors will occur.

FIELDS

     SoSFInt32           startIndex
          Obsolete  field,  provided only for compatibility reasons. Index of first coordinate of
          shape.

METHODS

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

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS
