Methods

	Name	Description
	Convert(SoNode)	Calls Convert(node, true).
	Convert(SoPath)	Calls Convert(path, true).
	Convert(SoPathList)	Calls Convert(pathList, true).
	Convert(SoNode, Boolean)	Converts the passed scene graph object(s) into a byte stream.
	Convert(SoPath, Boolean)	Converts the passed scene graph object(s) into a byte stream.
	Convert(SoPathList, Boolean)	Converts the passed scene graph object(s) into a byte stream.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetData	Returns the data from the last OIV.Inventor.Misc.SoByteStream.Convert(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNode, System.Boolean) operation.
	GetHashCode	Overrides GetHashCode(). (Inherited from SoNetBase.)
	GetNumBytes	Returns the number of bytes from the last OIV.Inventor.Misc.SoByteStream.Convert(OIV.Inventor.Nodes.SoNode, System.Boolean) operation.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	IsRawData
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Unconvert(SbNativeArrayByte)
	Unconvert(SoByteStream)	Takes byte stream data and unconverts it back to scene graph objects.

Remarks

This class creates a byte stream representation of a scene graph, using an OIV.Inventor.Actions.SoWriteAction to write path lists to an in-memory buffer. Byte streams are commonly used to transfer data in copy and paste operations. (The OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWinClipboard class passes OIV.Inventor.Misc.SoByteStream data during copy and paste.)
