| SoPath Methods |
The SoPath type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Append(Int32) | Adds node to end of chain; the node is the childIndex'th child of the current tail node. |
| Append(SoNode) | Adds node to end of chain; uses the first occurrence of childNode as child of current tail node. |
| Append(SoPath) | Adds all nodes in fromPath's chain to end of chain; the head node of fromPath must be the same as or a child of the current tail node. |
| ContainsNode(Type) | Returns true if the node type is found anywhere in the path chain. |
| ContainsNode(SoNode) | Returns true if the node is found anywhere in the path chain. |
| ContainsPath | Returns true if the nodes in the chain in the passed path are contained (in consecutive order) in this path chain. |
| Copy | Calls Copy(System.Int32(0), System.Int32(0)). |
| Copy(Int32) | Calls Copy(startFromNodeIndex, System.Int32(0)). |
| Copy(Int32, Int32) | Creates and returns a new path that is a copy of some or all of this path. |
| Dispose |
Releases all resources used by SoDisposable.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| Equals | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| FindFork | If the two paths have different head nodes, this returns -1. |
 | GetByName(String) | Method to return a path with a given name. |
| GetByName(String, SoPathList) | Method to return paths with a given name. |
| GetHashCode |
Overrides GetHashCode().
(Inherited from SoNetBase.) |
| GetHead | Returns the first node in a path chain. |
| GetIndex | Returns the index of the i'th node (within its parent) in the chain. |
| GetIndexFromTail | Returns the index of the i'th node (within its parent) in the chain, counting backward from the tail node. |
| GetInstanceIndex | Returns the index of the instance inside the parent OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleInstance, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleCopy or OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoArray group. |
| GetInstanceIndexFromTail | Returns the index of the i'th node instance (within its parent, if it is a OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleInstance, OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoMultipleCopy or OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoArray group in the chain, counting backward from the tail node. |
| GetLength | Obsolete. Returns length of path chain (number of nodes). |
| GetName | Returns the name of an instance. |
| GetNode(Int32) | Returns the i'th node (within its parent) in the chain. |
| GetNode(Type, Int32) | Returns the first node and its index, from the head of the given type in the chain. |
| GetNodeFromTail | Returns the i'th node (within its parent) in the chain, counting backward from the tail node. |
| GetStringName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| GetTail | Returns the last node in a path chain. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| IsSynchronizable | Gets the ScaleViz synchronizable state of this object. |
| Pop | The OIV.Inventor.SoPath.Push(System.Int32) and OIV.Inventor.SoPath.Pop() methods allow a path to be treated as a stack; they push a node at the end of the chain and pop the last node off. |
| Push | The OIV.Inventor.SoPath.Push(System.Int32) and OIV.Inventor.SoPath.Pop() methods allow a path to be treated as a stack; they push a node at the end of the chain and pop the last node off. |
| SetHead | Sets head node (first node in chain). |
| SetName | (Inherited from SoBase.) |
| SetSynchronizable | Sets this to be a ScaleViz synchronizable object. |
| ToString |
Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string.
(Inherited from SoBase.) |
| Touch | Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. |
| Truncate | Truncates the path chain, removing all nodes from index start on. |
