DESCRIPTION

       This class contains detail information about a point on a text shape (SoText2 or SoText3).
       It contains the part of the text, string, and character that were hit or generated.

METHODS

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

     int32_t             getStringIndex() const
          Returns the index of the relevant string within a multiple-value string field of a text
          node.

     int32_t             getCharacterIndex() const
          Returns  the  index  of  the  relevant character within the string. For example, if the
          character of detail was the "u" within "Splurmph", the character index would be 3.

     SoText3::Part       getPart() const
          For SoText3, this returns which part was picked or generated.

     SbBox3f             getBoundingBox() const
     SbXfBox3f           getXfBoundingBox() const
          When the detail is returned from picking, these return the object-space bounding box of
          the  character  that  was  intersected. Otherwise, they return an empty box. The second
          method returns an SbXfBox3f instead of a SbBox3f. These methods  are  implemented  only
          for 3D text.

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