Class SoBaseExtrusion

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    SafeDisposable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    SoCircularExtrusion, SoExtrusion

    public abstract class SoBaseExtrusion
    extends SoShape
    Abstract base class for all extrusion-based shape nodes. This node is the abstract base class for all extrusion-based shape (geometry) nodes. It is used as a repository for convenience functions for subclasses and to provide a type identifier to make it easy to determine whether a shape is extrusion-based.

    All extrusion-based shapes are created by extruding a 2D shape along a 3D spine. The user can determine which caps are created using the fields beginCap and endCap.

    The scaleMode field is used to select the points that will be scaled by the scaleFactor in the current transformation (for example SoTransform), if any. Translation and rotation are applied in all cases.

    The extrusionMode field is used to select the extrusion algorithm.

    File format/default:

    This is an abstract class. See the reference page of a derived class for the format and default values.
