DESCRIPTION

       This  class  contains detail information about a point in a vertex-based shape made of points. It is used
       for returning information about an intersection with or primitives generated by a set of  points.  It  is
       also  used  by  SoFaceDetail  and SoLineDetail to return information about the vertices of faces and line
       segments.

METHODS

                         SoPointDetail()
     virtual             ~SoPointDetail()
          Constructor and destructor.

     int32_t             getCoordinateIndex() const
          Returns the index of the point within the relevant coordinate node.

     int32_t             getMaterialIndex() const
          Returns the index of the material for the point within the relevant material node.

     int32_t             getNormalIndex() const
          Returns the index of the surface normal at the point within the relevant normal  node.  Note  that  if
          normals have been generated for a shape, the index may not be into an existing normal node.

     int32_t             getTextureCoordIndex() const
          Returns  the index of the texture coordinates for the point within the relevant normal node. Note that
          if texture coordinates have been generated for a shape, the index may not be into an existing  texture
          coordinate node.
