SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/nodes/SoPickStyle.h>

     enum Style {
          SoPickStyle::SHAPE         Points on the surfaces of shapes may be picked

                                          picked
          SoPickStyle::UNPICKABLE    Subsequent objects are transparent to picks

DESCRIPTION

       This node determines how subsequent geometry nodes in the scene graph are to be picked, as
       indicated by the style field.

       Note that this is the only way to change the  pick  behavior  of  shapes;  drawing  style,
       complexity, and other rendering-related properties have no effect on picking.

FIELDS

     SoSFEnum            style
          Picking style.

METHODS

                         SoPickStyle()
          Creates a pick style node with default settings.

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

ACTION BEHAVIOR

       SoRayPickAction, SoCallbackAction
          Sets the current pick style in the state.

FILE FORMAT/DEFAULTS

       PickStyle {
          style  SHAPE
     }
