INHERITS FROM

       SoDetail

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/details/SoDetail.h>

          Methods from class SoDetail:

     SoDetail *          copy() const
     static SoType       getClassTypeId()
     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const

DESCRIPTION

       SoDetail  is the abstract base class for all detail classes. A detail contains shape-specific information
       about a particular shape during picking and primitive generation. Subclasses store information  based  on
       the particular type of shape.

METHODS

     SoDetail *          copy() const
          Returns  an  instance that is a copy of this instance. The caller is responsible for deleting the copy
          when it is no longer needed.

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

     virtual SoType      getTypeId() const
          Returns the type identifier for a specific instance.

     SbBool              isOfType(SoType type) const
          Returns TRUE if this object is of the type specified in type or is derived from that type.  Otherwise,
          it returns FALSE.
