Detailed Description

Path that allows access to hidden children.

This class allows expert users to examine "hidden" children in paths. For example children inside a nodeKit. SoPath allows access from the head node down to the first node with hidden children, but no further. Casting an SoPath to an SoFullPath (which is always guaranteed to be safe) allows you to access hidden children. SoFullPath overrides some SoPath methods to make this possible.

You need SoFullPath, for example, to get the actual tail of the pick path (the geometry node) when picking geometry in node kits. For example:

SoPath* pPath = ...
SoNode* pTail = ((SoFullPath*)pPath)->getTail();
Path that allows access to hidden children.
Definition SoPath.h:604
Path that points to a list of hierarchical nodes.
Definition SoPath.h:187
SoNode * getTail() const
Returns the last node in a path chain.

NOTE: Applying an action on an SoFullPath may not give the expected result.
When applying an action on an SoFullPath, the "hidden" children will not be traversed. If you want to apply an action on all the children in the path, use the following technique:

SoPath* path = ...
SoRef<SoPath> tempPath = ((SoFullPath*)path)->copy();
action.apply( tempPath );
tempPath = NULL;
SoPath * copy(int startFromNodeIndex=0, int numNodes=0) const
Creates and returns a new path that is a copy of some or all of this path.
