Group node that saves and restores traversal state.
This group node performs a push (save) of the traversal state before traversing its children and a pop (restore) after traversing them. This isolates the separator's children from the rest of the scene graph. A separator can include lights, cameras, coordinates, normals, bindings, and all other properties. Separators are relatively inexpensive (the push/pop operation is highly optimized), so they can be used freely within scenes.
Caching:
The SoSeparator node provides caching of state during bounding box computation. This feature can be explicitly enabled or disabled by setting the boundingBoxCaching field. By default, this field is set to AUTO, which means that Open Inventor decides whether to build a cache based on internal heuristics.
Culling:
Separators can also perform culling during rendering and picking. Culling skips over traversal of the separator's children if they are not going to be rendered or picked, based on the comparison of the separator's bounding box with the current view volume. Culling is controlled by the renderCulling and pickCulling fields. These are also set to AUTO by default; however, render culling can be expensive (and can interfere with render caching), so the AUTO heuristics leave it disabled unless specified otherwise. Note that if renderCulling is ON, the SoSeparator will prohibit auto-caching, so that no SoSeparator (or other render caching node) above this node in the scene graph will automatically create a render cache.
Fast edit:
The fast editing feature allows you to modify parts of a scene without redrawing the entire scene. For example, you could use it to interactively move a small object in a large scene that takes a long time to redraw. Fast editing must be enabled using SoGLRenderAction::setFastEditSavePolicy.
The fastEditing field enables fast editing for the sub-graph under the SoSeparator. Possible values are DISABLE, KEEP_ZBUFFER, and CLEAR_ZBUFFER. Using KEEP_ZBUFFER means that the fast edit geometry is depth buffered against the other objects in the scene, and using CLEAR_ZBUFFER means that the fast edit geometry will be drawn on top of the other objects of the scene. If several SoSeparators have the CLEAR_ZBUFFER flag set, they are drawn in the order in which they appear in the scene. The last separator in the scene will be topmost on the screen.
