SyntaxThe SoAlgebraicCylinder type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | SoAlgebraicCylinder | Default constructor. |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AffectsState | Overrides default method on OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNode. |
| BeginShape(SoAction, SoShapeTriangleShapes) | Calls BeginShape(action, shapeType, (OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail ^)nullptr). (Inherited from SoShape.) |
| BeginShape(SoAction, SoShapeTriangleShapes, SoFaceDetail) | These methods can be used by subclasses to generate triangles more easily when those triangles are part of a larger structure, such as a triangle strip, triangle fan, or triangulated polygon, according to the TriangleShape enumerated type. |
| Callback | Implements primitive generation for all shapes. |
| ComputeBBox(SoAction, SbBox3f, SbVec3f) | OIV actions. |
| ComputeBBox(SoAction, SbXfBox3d, SbVec3d) | Compute object oriented bounding box (OOB) for subclass using information in the given action (which may not necessarily be an OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoGetBoundingBoxAction). |
| Copy | Calls Copy(false). (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Copy(Boolean) | Creates and returns an exact copy of the node. |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer) | Calls CopyFieldValues(fc, false). (Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
| CopyFieldValues(SoFieldContainer, Boolean) | Copies the contents of fc's fields into this object's fields. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Distribute | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| DoAction | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| EnableNotify | Notification at this Field Container is enabled (if flag == true) or disabled (if flag == false). |
| EndShape | end shape previously started with OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.BeginShape(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.TriangleShapes, OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail). |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FieldsAreEqual | Returns true if this object's fields are exactly equal to fc's fields. |
| Get | Returns the values of the fields of this object in the Open Inventor ASCII file format in the given string. |
| GetAllFields | Returns a list of fields, including the eventIn's and eventOut's. |
| GetAlternateRep | Alternate representation (i.e. |
| GetBoundingBox | Implements bounding box method using virtual OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.ComputeBBox(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.SbBox3f@, OIV.Inventor.SbVec3f@) method. |
| GetEventIn | Returns a the eventIn with the given name. |
| GetEventOut | Returns the eventOut with the given name. |
| GetField | Returns a the field of this object whose name is fieldName. |
| GetFieldName | Returns the name of the given field in the fieldName argument. |
| GetFields | Appends references to all of this object's fields to resultList, and returns the number of fields appended. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetMatrix | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GetName | Returns the name of an instance. |
| GetPrimitiveCount | Counts number of primitives produced by this shape. |

| GLRenderOffPath | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsCleanup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| GrabEventsSetup | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HandleEvent | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| HasDefaultValues | Returns true if all of the object's fields have their default values. |
| IsBoundingBoxIgnoring | Used by BoundingBoxAction to know if bounding box computation should be ignored or not. |
| IsNotifyEnabled | Notification is the process of telling interested objects that this object has changed. |
| IsOverride | Returns the state of the override flag. |
| IsSynchronizable | Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. |
| Pick | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| RayPick | Specialized ray pick action. |
| Search | (Inherited from SoNode.) |
| Set | Sets one or more fields in this object to the values specified in the given string, which should be a string in the Open Inventor file format. |
| SetName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| SetOverride | Turns the override flag on or off. |
| SetShapeType | set the antialiasing type for this shape. |
| SetSynchronizable | Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. |
| SetToDefaults | Sets all fields in this object to their default values. |
| ShapeVertex | add a primitive vertex to the shape prevously started with OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.BeginShape(OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoAction, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoShape.TriangleShapes, OIV.Inventor.Details.SoFaceDetail). |

RemarksThis node represents a simple capped cylinder centered around the y-axis. By default, the cylinder is centered at (0,0,0) and has a default size of -1 to +1 in all three dimensions. You can use the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoAlgebraicCylinder.radius and OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoAlgebraicCylinder.height fields to create a cylinder with a different size.
The cylinder is transformed by the current cumulative transformation and is drawn with the current lighting model and material.
This node can generally be used in place of the OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoCylinder geometric shape node. Unlike the geometric shape nodes, which create triangle geometry to represent their shape, the algebraic shape nodes compute and render their shape on the GPU. Algebraic shapes can also be used with OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleInstance to efficiently render a very large number of shapes.
Please see OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoAlgebraicShape for important notes and limitations for algebraic shapes.
